I'm Number #2
 

Just got my baby today at 6:30pm Hawaii Time.. According to the dealer's first sold on the island.

Sorry, I dont have pics at the moment as it's dark out.. If you can think of something else I can prove my worth, I'll try to produce..

I'm gonna see if my digicam works, it's been acting up.. But I wont be in the pic as my wife is already sleeping and no one is around to help me shoot it...

Its a small world out there when the internet is involved. Congrats on receiving your car and be sure to get that camera working because I need something to get me by before my car comes in a couple of days.

Sorry buddy... subjective statements are hard to believe. U mentioned it's dark,digicam acting up, and wife is a sleep... mmm OK. Well we'll see in a few days when ur camera is ready and your wife is a awake.

ooh.. hurtful.. however, I understand..

Best I can do right now is a scan of the owner's manual..

I'm sure 3Rotor can vouch this is how it looks..

Bammmm! Now that's a friggin' comeback.
Nice!

Way to go...congrats on your car..I know you were worried for a while, being an islander and all.

BTW couldn't help but smirk at you calling yourself a #2...:)

Couple dozen laps around the island should get you to 600 mile zone!

Thanks.. I promise to show good pics early tomorrow when there's light.

All I can say it's damn fine.. and I am surely not disappointed. I havent really punched it, as I'm trying to go slowly.. But you can feel the teeth alright.. this kitten wants to shred.

Only 30 miles so far, but I'm gonna try to rack up 600 by the end of the weekend.. The manual actually says "No Special Break In is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 1000km (600 miles) may add to the performance, economy, and life of your Mazda." Go figure..

It's funny.. that particular part and page of the manual looks redone.. looks like Mazda glued a new piece of text over the old. Can't really see what was underneath it..

Look out true believers .. I smell like a number 2... stinky.

As the kids say: OWNED

Whatever happened to that one kid who claimed he had received an RX-8 months before anyone in the US because his uncle "owns a dealership" and "has connections" with Mazda? It's too bad he's not around. I'd like to make fun of him some more :D

Congrats to the first two owners Stateside. Lucky bastards!

Apparently your government sold him a pre-owned alien spacecraft (circa 1950's) and he's currently on a tour of the outer planets. Hopefully he'll post soon.

Just what I needed to read 1st thing this morning.

Congrats RX-Nut, glad to hear it all worked out for you in the end. I know you were sweating bullets that the dealer was going to jack the price up on you once it came in.

So did you have to pay dealer mark up? You said that the Hawaiian dealers where kind of bad at that? I'm just curious because you had been complaining about it for quite awhile.

After all that crap you went through to get the car, you of all people, deserve it. Congrats, and we can't wait to see pictures!

awsome nut,im curious what you think of that bose system?

Bose - tell us
 

Yeah, I was on another thread just on this topic.

The noise cancelling system, if I understand correctly, is to remove the "car noise" from the "music sound noise". The system "knows" what the music is suppose to sound like. When the stereo is on, THEN the noise reduction system is activated to eliminate any other "car noise".

I read about this system several months ago. Bose has sold special "noise cancelling" headsets for small aircraft for years.

I was just curious as to how it all "sounded" in the new car.

Bose also sells a consumer version of the noise cancelling headsets (~$300). I tried them out a few months ago and they worked quite well (good for droning mechanical noises), but in the end they weren't much better, if better at all than the ~$150 Panasonic headsets I tried later.

But as this all pertains to cars... has Bose (or anyone else for that fact) used the technology in any other cars yet?

Looking forward to the pics. Dealer says mine is in Michigan to get accessories. Actually had to rent a car today until it gets here. My 240 SX (sorry, it was a Nissan) sold in 1 day on the web.

Mine's Titanium as well so I want to see your pictures.

ehH??? come back??? You can take one of those owners manual in any dealer. You just ask for one; they already have the manuals but the car they don't have one.

no the dealers do not have owners manuals. the manuals always come with the car only. it is a packet that comes with the car that has all the warranty info as well as the owners manual. so having the owners manual is a good reference that he has the car. unless he downloaded the picture from another web page or something......

It's like the running of the bulls: some folks just don't know when to stay down.

haha..Al Capowned again. Anyway, I am sure rx-nut has better things to do than make stuff up on the internet. I would understand calling bs on him if we were on another forum which was infested with 16yr olds, but here "most" everyone is on the up and up, so cut the guy a break.

yeah who here would be childish enough to say they have their rx8 already or that they saw a truck load of them at their dealer or...uh wait..n/m :D

Here we go boys and girls.. The Nut's 8..

Next

Ibfubar......you did that......you sneaky bastard :D j/k I havent posted in awhile so I am kinda behind in whats been happening.

looks great!!! <P> congrats!!!
