Welcome to the club. As for getting in Raid, just get in, that's what my friends do and you shouldn't have to adjust anything and I'm 6'1".

I'm guessing it's because the driver's seat is all power?? My '06 GT is the same way (as I guess ALL RX8's might be).

I make sure they open the rear doors and then they can figure it out for themselves, if they try to fold the seat down they get yelled at

Congrats. You need to clean up that front lawn. Also that crack on the pavement doesn't bode well for those 19" rims if it expands. Kill the weeeeeeedssss!!!!

That feeling of "I can't believe it's mine" never goes away.

Rule of thumb: Lawn equipment comes before new car purchase.

I was wondering about that. I've had my 09 for 6 weeks, and I still stair at it in the garage and think that same thing: "I can't believe that's mine."

It never goes away. Going on a year (as of June 25), and I can be walking to my car, looking around at other cars ... and I spot a car, thinking "Wow, that's a cool car. I wonder what model it is?" And then I realize, "Hey, that's MY car!"
