I like the leather feel, and the heated seats.

I have cloth and I get shocked all the time. Sometimes it really hurts.

My car is Titanium and I like how the cloth almost looks like Titanuim. I prefer cloth but I have to say, the two tone combo's Mazda offers looks really cool, especially the red/black leather over the Brilliant black.

If you've got the Permaplate protection on the leather, it'll shock you too. I think it makes a plastic-like barrier on the seats. My brother has it on his leather couch and I get zapped by it all the time when I'm at his house.

Just don't be a girl and go back inside while your pumping gas! Stay outside until you're done. The times somone's "caught on fire" from static electricity and pumping gas, they went back inside the car while pumping. Mostly females do this, for reasons unknown...

It's probably guys like us staring at them and their 8's making them feel uncomfortable that make them get back inside their cars.

Yeah that's true..

I like the look of the 350z over the RX-8, and the torque, but then there's something about the feel of the rotary... not to mention how everyone says the 8 is more fun to drive. I guess I'll just wait until I'm closer to purchasing and take some test drives.


I do appreciate all the replies.

I thought it was mandatory for pics when a girl mention her thighs in threads on this board? That's one of the reasons I joined.

I test drove the g35 coupe, Mustang, and RX8. G35 is nicer inside and out in my opinion, and the Mustang has an awesome egine, but the RX8 was easily the most fun and felt perfect. But everyone is different. Definitely take some test drives so you can at least settle any doubts.

The leather isn't that great though. My current car has Classic Soft Trim aftermarket leather (http://www.classicsofttrim.com/) and it is much better. I might get the sports package with my RX8 and just buy leather separately.

Cellulite, huh? Mhum. In the pic you sent...you looked at about 5'4"-5'5" tops. And judging from your arms and neck, you weigh about 90-110 lbs max. So, your excuse is "cellulite," is it now? Ummhuh.

Well, I call Bullsh!t! No way, do you have any significant cellulite! So, under code 3290.50.33914, you mentioned your thighs and booty. Now you gots'ta post. It's only right you know? We'll be waiting for them in the Leg Humper's thread.

Remember, it'll be best if you have someone else, take that pic. That way you could maybe lean against your car...or...do the splits...you know, get creative?
