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.

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..

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.

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!

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.

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.
