Talking I got my baby!!!!!!!!

Woooohooooo!! Add another Winning Blue to the US roads. Had the opportunity to drive it for 150 miles today....and was it sweet. Loved the looks I was getting from other cars! :D I'll post pics in the other forum as soon as I take some.

The sales guy admitted that I knew more than him about the 8! hehehe Gotta thank the RX8 forums for that! The dealer was great. They even ordered a new pair of fender strakes cause the ones they had installed were crooked. So I had them mount it but didn't take the double tape out because the one of the lower strakes is not hugging the body. Will follow the DIY on installing in the DIY forum. So I already have a project for this weekend.. hehe Ok talking too fast, too excited..... gotta calm down. Maybe a spin in my 8 :D or maybe not :p

Hehe...I agree! My dad said, why didn't you pick the Silver. I'm like, Dad every darn car I see out there on the roads is silver. Not that it matters because I'll be driving a RX8. :D Please don't flame me because I didn't pick silver :p hehe

Yeah, I know. It's my sarcasm after waiting 3 months, 19 days and 5 hours!

I'm having problems already on my speedometer in my MX6, so more to come in my 8? :D

The cops will tell you it's not. :o Hehe. I was pulled-over for the first time in 18 years, that was about 1 month after getting mine. Just a warning though. Whew!

Yeah, and I couldn't use the cruise since I was trying to follow the break-in rules in the manual. Can I complain about mileage now since I own a 8? :D hehehehe I'm going to hide now.

Indeed, I've had a major problem with that just over one year ago! Better never have that again (loose of my driver's licence and possible seize of the car!). I'm so much more mature now........ SimplyBlue, please behave!

Well, maybe I shouldn't talk just because my 8 has about twice the power of my last car, even with the mis-stated power... hehe...

Congrats!!! And now that you own an 8 you can complain about the flooding, hp, mpg, Bush administration, economy, rising interest rates, and the marijuana prohibition!!! All kinds of doors have opened up to you. I bet you never thought you could be so lucky! :D

Congratu F'ing lations! I am glad that you now are TRULY a member of the club. :D <--- See that smile? This will be you every time you get out of your car after driving it, every time you park it and look back at it, every time you walk towards it to get in it and every time you open your garage door and mavel at it's beauty. Dude! Your face is going to hurt for a while due to smiling all the time. Don't worry, your facial muscles will get used to it! Have fun, stay safe and ENJOY! :D
