Talking I got it!
After owning 6 Mazdas (1 RX-7 / 4 Miatas / 1 MX-6) and 1 Ford with a Mazda engine ('92 Probe).... I've continued the trend with my brand new Sunlight Silver RX-8 with Touring, Appearance and Rotary packages.

So far it has 136 miles on it and I'm looking forward to many more smile inducing miles. Its great to see that, just like the Miata, there is a place for those fanatical about their RX-8s! THe thing I love about this car is the smooth and broad powerband... the Miata just took so much more prodding to make it get up and go. Which, even when it did, can't compare to the GO of the RX-8.

I know I'm opening the flood gates here, but is there anything special I should do or know about during the break-in period? Other than that stated in the owner's manual that is?

Glad to finally be a part of this community!

Noel, that was funny and I couldn't help but laughing. The only reason I rechecked this thread was because I saw you reply.

Thank you for catching that!

Guess I still had my '99 Highlight Silver Miata on my mind!

Silver curse? Uh oh!
