Here are a couple of quick photos. Yes I know they are not very good but it was raining so I took them inside my garage/shop.
I did sell mine back to Mazda. I bought my first one early and figured that if Mazda would let me drive their car for a few months for free I would take them up on the offer. I had planned on waiting a few months and finding another one with but it just never happened.

Thanks for the positive comments guys.
JRichter - You are correct, that is a 2001 Silver Prowler and just on the other side of the RX8 is a 2008 Snake Skin Green Viper next is a 2005 Ford GT.
Here a couple that I did post earlier, they are just different angles but I think they show the Ford and Viper a little more. Yes I know the place is a mess, I have not had time to clean up lately.

I'm curious if you race out at mineral wells or perhaps one of the many tracks around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
Makes me want to sign up for an event in that area just to beg for a ride in the viper!
Edit: or better yet a Ford GT

Jedi54 - Sorry for the confusion but this is just my garage/shop at home.
HeavyMetal699 - I have been out to the airport at MW a couple of times just to watch. A couple of trips out to the track in Cresson for the events held by Lamborghini Dallas but never been on the track. I will take you for a ride as long as you don't complain about my driving.

If you can find one...

Steve, That is an amazing collection. I would love to see you post a gallery of all your cars. Dang.... simply amazing!
Now, we have to talk about that cardboard under your 8. If you plan to drive that puppy and then pull it into the garage on that paper product, keep a fire extinguisher handy. That catalytic converter just may get too hot for your floor protector. When I pull my car onto the grass in my yard to wash it, I usually have a scorched spot where the cat was located and then the grass dies. That's pretty hot. I have a 2005 model and I don't know if they made any changes but I would be careful. I really don't want to see pics of all those colorful cars looking charcoal colored.
I'm impressed that you liked the 8 enough to put it beside all those exotics an classics. Makes me appreciate mine more.
VERY COOL!

Steve, sweet color - my favorite color, actually.
Great choice.
