Just got in an 05 RX-8
 

Hey guys, just wanted to formally introduce myself, although I have made a couple posts about purchase suggestions for the 8. I just got an awesome deal on a silver 05 RX-8 and I am now the happy owner of this incredible car. I hope to keep learning as much on this forum as I did before I bought the car.

Congrats!!!

That's the fastest year and fastest color!

Is it a MT or auto? How many miles?

Details.

P.S. - Don't let some of the members here psych you out with some urban legend about 'the curse of the sunlight silver.' :icon_no2:

ha the curse oh yes hahah.....welcome jsut be careful in that silver

nice color choice it is the fastest

wat curse? pshhhhh, we da stealth bomber of the rx8 club.

Its manual, and I'm not sure what curse you speak of. Anyone care to enlighten me on this?

Congrats!...excellent taste in colour too!

Welcome and congrats.

no!........weclome to the addiction

Lol ok, I'm not sure whether to be genuinely concerned about this curse or not. I guess I'll have to wait and see. And thank you for your welcome

More silvers seemed to be involved in accidents, at least, judging but the RX-Club members and their cars.

Mine is scratch free after 33 months (knock on wood, sign of the cross, throwing salt over my shoulder).

Welcome to the club man, where do you live?

Oh now I get what the curse is. Well I've had mine for 3 days and no wrecks yet lol. I live in Roswell Georgia outside of Atlanta.

Congratulations on your new love. Just remember to come inside at night and not stare at it too long. People will talk.

Don't worry bout the curse, since silver is the fastest we are able to pull away from any trouble quicker than everyone else......wellllll theoretically that is!????

And I suppose washing it and giving it a hug at 2 am is weird too!!??:lol:

OP; Congrats and enjoy!

Haha, after owning the car I don't think that's weird at all. It sucks though because in about 3 weeks I have to have knee surgery so I won't be able to drive my baby for almost a month. :tear:

ss ftw!

Welcome! read the tech section

Pics please. Welcome.

Oh, almost forgot - you immediately need clear corners. Best bang for the noob buck in improving the looks of the car in about 2 minutes.

Watch out for the Silver Curse,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

If anyone cares to look at a crappy picture of my stock RX-8, here it is, as requested. I need a better camera...
