Talking My new ride!

I joined this forum in November because I was depressed due to a wrecked RX8 (yes silver). I found on this site many people with the same love of the car I had and understood what I was going through. I truly cannot thank everyone enough. I'm not just posting crap here I really mean it. You guys are awesome. Whether your blasting a topic or consoling a young kid or holding some old farts hand like some of you did for me.

Thank You!

Now, for the real reason I'm starting this thread...

MY NEW RIDE CAME IN TODAY AND I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED I THINK I PEED MY PANTS 3 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT HOME! :D

EDIT: The first pic is not a wreck!

Congrats! After all you've been through, a new car is the least they could have done.

Haha, before realizing that the first thumbnail was a "hug picture", I was pretty amazed to see the extent of the damage being wrought on the silver 8's nowdays. Kept trying to figure out how you managed to bend the thing in half like that without seeming to damage the rest of the car at all. Man, I'm too tired for the internet. :o

Hooray for SilverEIGHT!

Glad you were able to replace your original 8 and get yourself back on the road. Hope to run into you in Atlanta someday! (Figuratively, I mean...)

Congrats. But seriously, what is the deal with the silver 8 thing? Before I was just playing along with it thniking it was a joke but more and more things are happening with the silver 8s...weird. I guess the curse really, really is true!

Silver, on this new RX-8 you may want to bring in the car to the dealer to have them hard wire the DSC switch to the "Always On" position, no matter how you fiddle with it.

Very happy for you. It looks fabulous. With all that acreage, can a whole bunch of 8 owners get together and all camp out on your property for a weekend at some point this summer? Just kidding!

Congrats again. Your diligence and patience paid off "Big Time".
