Congrats.
The first time you drive your car take the time to notice how many looks you get from the other drivers around you. I have had more people come up to me in parking lots and ask to see the car and the engine than I have ever had with any other car. Some people will argue about hp and trap times and why doesn't the ion noodleizer work properly, but the 8 is a fun car to drive, can seat four in a pinch, looks great and will cruise all day at 100+. Eventually Mazda will work out all the kinks. Until then enjoy the 95% satisfying ride.

My second choice (if yellow does not pan out)

:p I am going Sat (or maybe fri) to get mine. I just hope the yellow is what i expect. (PC pictures never tell the true story). I think as long it does not look like creamed corn i will be OK.

The yellow looks sweet. Not too electric, but it certainly stands out. I opted for the tamer silver. Living in Vegas I wanted a light color and imho silver is such a classic sports car color. I haven't seen a color in the 8 I don't like.

Now honestly, do you care if it has got 238 or 220 or 249 hp? It can still get out of it's own way and it is such a blast to drive. As a matter of fact I think I need some milk and eggs, I'll be back in a couple of hours!

Congratulations. Nice pictures!

It looks like snow on the ground and stock tires on the car.

You know about those tires and snow, right?

Ah, you must have been a board reader before buying, I see the wheel turn in your pics!

Congratulations



Oh, and:
why doesn't the ion noodleizer work properly
You know, if it wasn't for this, I'd buy two more of em

Many of the current cameras produce images too large to view at full size. Some have options for creating images that are smaller than the array size.

Another alternative is to resize the image to make it smaller. The Microsoft Paint program has that capability:
> Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint

Load the Image, then click
> Image > Stretch/Skew

Then enter some percent less than 100 into the Horizontal and Vertical entries, press [OK], save the file out, figure out how to get it into the forum.

If you want a very small image, like for an Avatar, that takes a bit of work to get something small that looks reasonable.
