New 2006 Galaxy Gray Rx8

Finally got my new Rx8 today. I've lurked in this forum for several months and just wanted to thank all the posters- about every question I could dream up has been answered here at some point. With one day of driving it under my belt, the car's been everything I hoped for.

In my opinion the Galaxy Grey is a bit darker with a blue hue to it.

Just for fun- comments I've gotten on the car:


"Wow!!!!!!!! That is really sharp looking!"

"BEAUTIFUL !!!"

"Should I post pictures of the Elantra I just bought?
"Elantra is spanish for "unmanley".""

"Dang.... when did you get that sweet ride?"

"Nice, Mog!!! Looking forward to the pics a week from now featuring your new hot piece of *** beside it"

"Nice. Now do what I did...go knock somebody up and trade it in for a mini-van/SUV."

"so are you bringing it to st. louis? haha"
[Nope]
"boooo"

"Damn, Mog. What are they paying you these days?"
"Congrats, man. Sweet looking car."

"I wanna kick your ***."
"I hope it sucks."
"and that you have a lot of new problems with that car."
"[my wife] thinks it is awesome however"
"I however, throw a hex on you!"

"IS THAT YOURS?"
"INFG TIY STHAJS;DFJ"
"OMFG"

Congratulations—nice car! And one of the best-looking colors, IMHO. I've never really been to W.Va, but I always imagine you guys must have some of the best, snakiest, twistiest roads - if they're well paved, must be a good place for a sports car.

Looks really good. I parked my Titanium next to a Galaxy last time I was at the dealer and I thought the Ti looked like it had more blue in it and Galaxy was a warmer gray. Maybe it was just the lighting. Galaxy gray is definitely a shade darker though.

Congratulations on the great new car. Just a few minutes ago on Pensacola Beach I got a thumbs up from some young guy on the car. I've never had so many comments on a car.

I lived in West Virginia as a kid, but before I started driving. I remember the roads as being VERY twisty. Should be fun . . . if you survive them!
