It is also faster in the slalom due to the shorter wheelbase makes it more agile.

17F according to the RX-8's dashboard. Started right up and pulled right out of the driveway. The Blizzacks held the road just fine (quite a challenge considering most of the roads have a sheet of solid ice under the snow this week).

Went to Boston over the weekend, and parked the 8 in the Garage under the Hyatt overnight on Friday. It was ridiculously cold, with wind chills bringing it close to (or what felt like under) 0 degrees. After sitting for 27 hours or so, it started up first try and ran great. It really was cold enough that I thought I could be calling for a jump, but no such luck. :lol:

:rock:

Update - left my RX-8 parked for 1 week on account of too extreme cold. Started right up on the first crank after just chillin' for the week.

The zoom-zoom continues........

So nice to hear.

Same story from North Adams, Mass. I had a fabulous 1,200 mile drive through the North East in six days. The car is great on the twisties; great on the highway; and perfectly fine through hard snowing Vermont. I love my car!

CarAndDriver 02-13-2007 09:36 PM

ZoomZoomH 02-13-2007 09:47 PM

Today I also didn't have a problem. But yesterday while not passing up the store because I had no OJ (not the murderer but the tasty beverage) I didn't notice engine trouble. In the not going to the dealer the mechanic had no answers (friggin Mazda :mad: )

We can't beat a shopping cart? Really? I mean, I noticed one revving next to me while at the store. I didn't take it seriously. How much boost can you get on those beasts?

CarAndDriver 02-14-2007 11:40 AM

Crossing my fingers my 8 makes it through today unscathed.

nycgps 02-14-2007 11:48 AM

Maybe, I bought my `04 brand new in Sept `05 and it now has just over 20,000 miles. Don't you like your RX-8? Why don't you drive it more. ;)
