Just Got My 2004 VR Mazda Rx-8!

Hey everyone, well I finally bought my car today and I'm just loving it!

It's a 2004 Velocity Red rx-8 (as you all know).

It has 38.5k KM's (25k miles)

The interior is pretty damn good; compared to my civic... anyway it's fully loaded with navigation but I have to put in the New Nav discs.

It has 2 sets of tires, 18 inch Mazda Rims (Mazda 6 rims?) and the standard ones.
I don't know much about tires but I think Bridgestone Blizzaks are pretty good even if they are 235's.

Well here are the pictures of my car that I just bought.

Edit: They arent working...

Here are the Pics.

Ok well I tried to upload the pictures, but I don't know how to show it as an Attached image... and make it show without downloading it. If anyone knows how to do that, just give me a quick little guide.

edit:Here are the attached pics.

The civic is for jokes and that's what I used to ride!

I'm going to look at an 05 VR GT with 73k on it. They're asking 14k. I just wanted to know what you paid for it so i have a comparison.

Honestly I really don't know... At first I thought they were Mazda 3 rims, but now I'm thinking they are cx-7 18inch rims.

Thanks, I have stock rims, but I don't want to ruin them in winter. I had to drive like 70miles to get this car and it really was worth it.

Still can't believe there is alot of room in the back for its size, but i still think the trunk is a bit on the small side.
It's just crazy how everything is where you want it and how its very accessible to get stuff in and out.
For sure im going to keep until it dies...
BTW i like your VR and your intake, I find it pretty original for this car.

Thank you

My original intention was getting a Black one. We were about to get it, but the car was a VGA, in other words totaled.
Then there was this red one (which we (me and my bro) thought was alright, nothing special)
And a White one. But my best friend never told me he sold his 05 rx8 and sold it 2 weeks before getting one.

But when we went to go look at this car, I just loved the Velocity red, it just looks so good when it's clean, I dont even care if it's flashy... Its the original colour the car came with to Advertise so it has to be the best.
