Not with those rims, you're not driving in the snow

 

i dont even take her out when i THINK its gonna rain.....
i check the doppler first...lmao!!

 

Now thats' too much - I love this car in the rain! Especially watching the water dance on the hood - priceless!

I have to say that I am very favorably impressed with the stock rubber - B'stone RE 040, in the RAIN.

We got some good today and I drove around w/o traction control. I didnt drive like a hooligan, but I did aggressively take corners and was at full speed ( ) on the highways for some time.

Tires were excellent, grip wise - there was PLENTY of grip for me in the wet. Now, the NOISE was a little annoying. I'm hoping this improves with age.

So, Im up to 150 mi on my car already (got it with 328)! Pretty good day!

 

not that i worry about the handling....i dont want her to get DIRTY!!!

im confused on that mileage tho!

 

So you're one of THOSE people, are you?

The car was delivered to me with 328 mi on it - they drove it from another dealer. I have now put 200 mi on it, so I'm at about 530 mi.

 

Wow, I'm glad I bought used. I bought my 8 with only 12k on teh odometer (4 months of driving for me) for 22k out the door.

 

Where is Nailin?

 

i really dont think he actually exists....lmao...roflmao!

 

I just picked up a GG Shinka with Aero package and wing. MSRP $34650. Talked them down to $31700 and then the $3500 in rebates. Thats $28200. I'm very happy with the car and the deal. The break in is really tuff, the rotory is so smooth it takes effort to keep the rpms down. I replace the exhaust with the Mazdaspeed dual sport cat back and it really improves the sound, cant tell about the performance yet.
Also I really like not having to use a key.
My $.02 worth.
