Congrats on the 8!
Welcome to the club.
Your first post is a failure, because you didn't include pics of your new ride.
Your first post is a double failure, because you didn't bother to notice the stickies at the top of the forum.
Did I mention that you didn't include pics???
Bonus fact: The 2005 Shinka is the best RX-8. (It's an undisputed truth... Look it up.)

Bahahahha ... and if it's white that's a double win.
White is the fastest. Easily 15 more wheel horsepower
