Congrats! Looks Great!
I really love the pic with the wrx in the background. Eventhough I like the wrx, the 8 makes it look...so...average. :D

seikx8

Nice, and congrats. So I guess your picture of the trunk with the gold bag is to confirmed mazda claims :D


You must be too excited about the car and forgot how to drive a manual

brothervoodoo

Good news and you got some port installed options too. Have fun with the ride.

bill: yea that wrx is my bros


seikx: yea when i was backing out, i stalled like twice, then my salesman came over and his like ur handbrakes on, lol was too excited.

it can fit 1 bag fine but i dunno bout 2, maybe if u really tried sqeeuzing really hard, i guess u could

brothervoodoo: yep, 6 cd and rotary accent. good thing i didnt get navigation tho, my dealer has 6 cars and non have navi, navi makes ur car late i think

tribal azn2

tribal azn2

Congratulations -- it looks great! :D
hmmm, didn't you have a problem forgetting to release the handbrake at the Rev It Up event too? Maybe Tribal needs a handbrake warning buzzer in his 8 -- just teasing! :p

So what time were you finally able to leave the dealer after you finished all the paperwork? I'm just trying to get an idea of what I'm in for when I go. I'm kind of surprised mine wasn't in the first group since I didn't order the Nav I'm hoping mine will be in the next truckload! :D

Well that explains why my car hasn't arrived and yours did.

tribal azn2

LOL YEA I DID!!! i gota get use to the damn handbrake. didnt have to bother with no friggin handbrake in my bmw

i say we got out at around 5pm, took pretty long, and we paid in full also. bet it'll take longer if u need to loan or fianace or anyt that stuff

lucke

congrats on the purchase...

how can you afford to pay in full?

can i drive it :p i have full coverage for any vehicle i drive...

tribal azn2

im a spoiled little bitch so my parents paying for it. graduation present




another thing i noticed is that when u stall in the rx8, it doesnt rock or anything, the engine just dies. like in normal manual cars when u stall, it rocks violently back and fourth. but in the rx8 it doesnt. is this cause of the rotary engine?

ELX13

tribal, congrats on gettin' your ride bruh!

sorry to hear about your stalls...i figure i'll do it a lot too right away as i'm a n00b as well. however, i'm lucky enough to have friends that own a 3rd gen FD, a TT and an s2k. they've let me practice a bit...and they each have a different feel. (let me say, the newer the car, the better for me!)

keep your fingers crossed for me!

Puppy1

I appriciate your honesty T. Keep on givng us honest feedback about your driving experiences. Drive carefuly and don't let any of your friends test drive your car into a wall like I did with my last new car.

pelucidor

Congratulations Tribal. Don't forget to put a pic in your sig! What are you doing with the BMW?

jd62

LOL, your candid report is really refreshing. I bought a new 8 for my wife today and she didn't want to drive it home because she hasn't used a stick shift if 15 years or so. I don't mind telling you my shifting and clutch work was far from professional race driver quality on the way home from the dealership. We'll be working on it tomorrow. We're in our sixties, so it will be strange to see some gray heads through the window of an RX-8. What the heck, life is short!

ggreen29

Not only does it die quickly and smoothly, but it can resurrect itself quickly too. A few times I've stalled mine and pushed the clutch in what seemed like a split second too late, all the red dash lights go on and then suddenly the engine pops back to life. I suspect its the rotary momentum that gives it enough energy to start itself.

tribal azn2

ELX13: thx bro, good luck on geting urs.

puppy: no way im letting any my friends drive it

pelucidor: the bmw was original my sisters car then she went off to college so it was mine but now shes back and shes gonna continue driving it. yea i need a new sig but i dont have photoshop , if anyone would be kind enough to make me a sig, it would be greatly appreciated. btw i browse is300.net a little and i see u on there.

jd62: WOW sixties?!?!? simply amazing, best of luck to ya

ggreen: something i noticed was that it takes quite a bit longer to crank up the rx8. in regular cars all i would have to do was crank the key for a split second and the engine would start. but with the rotary, it takes like 2 seconds to hold the crank before the engine fully starts.
