Just bought an RX8

Hey, I just bought my RX8. Pics soon to come. Anyways I read ya'alls stickies and after all the warnings about how it can be so terrible...I have decided that despite that I love the car. Anyways I don't know **** about cars but I have been studying and hope to get on your level of knowledge and truly know my car.

Later.

Oh yeah and to tide you guys over...

Welcome to the joy of driving a really fun car.

Now, did you read the new owners thread?
Did you have a compression test done on that car before you bought it?
Do you have records of oil changes from the previous owner?
Did you create your MyMazda login yet?
Do you have a copy of the owners manual, and have you read it yet?
And finally, how old are the coils, plugs, and wires?

Getting those questions answered will let us know how long before you become unhappy with your car.

BC.

Grats! I can't believe how many new owners there have been as of late. Seems like 1-2 just about every day.

1. Yes
2. Previous owner had it done
3. I have records of oil changes since 2006
4. no
5. Yes, not yet.
6. Don't know but can find out.

The previous owner and I are both military and have a good history. He gave me the cars complete history and I know he took care of it over the years. He is the one that actually told me to come to this site for owners information for the car.

Actually my buddy took it in to be detailed after I bought it. Was really nice of him.

To the rest, thanks

Here are a few of the pics

Edit: Needs a little cosmetic work on the interior but nothing major.
