Nice mate..
Love the 40th rims in bright paint, same style my S2 (they are std gray paint), I wish I had the 40th rims on my 8...
My MX-5 has this "exclusive" bright painted 17" only used on the 1,500 2011 SE made...
Then there is 'black paint' on the limited Sport Black MX-5's of this year.

Unfortunately, mine have seen better days. The first owner of the car apparently didn't know how to park, and the wheels already had some scratches and rash when I bought the car. Nothing too terrible, but they are not perfect anymore.
It didn't stop me from buying the car though

It's got <32K on it. It's almost like new in appearance. I've found one spot where someone had a pen and hit the seat. Haven't tried yet but I'm pretty sure I can get ink off leather.
Bought it at Carmax actually (I've seen the other posts - but the alternative was driving a few hundred miles to go get one). Carmax will transfer for you. So as soon as this one hit the site, I had it on the truck to bring into Louisiana. Plus with Carmax, the bank uses sticker as the value for the LTV ratio, so I was able to hold on to cash for Christmas. Paid a bit of $18k plus ttl + $349 to truck it in.

Congrats and welcome! You didn't happen to buy it through CarMax, did you? If so, I think I test drove your car in Houston about a month ago before picking up my own BB 2006 GT. That 40th is a great car!
EDIT: Sorry - posted before reading the thread. You did get it from CarMax! That's the car that won my wife over to getting an RX-8! It was just a few $ more than we were willing to spend. Enjoy it. :-)

Don't think it was the same one. This one was purchased by Carmax in Norcross, GA roughly 2 weeks ago from a couple in Tennessee. The day it went through their inspection and became available I transferred it to Baton Rouge. They never even had a chance to finish listing it before I had it on the truck...

Sold it. Had a 2010 JKU Islander w/6 speed MT, & ORH whisper top (and a few $K in other stuff). JEEP = Just Empty Every Pocket. It was my daily driver and limited what I could do. Now planning on getting an older project to play on... like a CJ.
