Wanted: 2006 - 2008 RX-8 for Car and Driver Magazine Feature
Hello all,
We're planning a feature story around certain cars, one of which is the Mazda RX-8. Here's where you come in.
We're hoping someone out there has a clean, unmolested, reasonably stock example that they'd be willing to bring to Michigan sometime in the coming weeks for the story. We'll provide track time, lunch, and--most important--coverage of you and your car in the magazine. General wear and tear will not be covered. Eligible cars (mostly stock) are all 2006 and 2007 trims, but only the Sport trim for 2008. Photogenic colors (i.e. red, blue) are also good but not totally necessary.
I'll check back here for any follow-up posts in the coming days, but you can also send me a PM if you think your car is what we're looking for.
Thanks!

Hey Jon:
Tell you boss man, Eddie, that his buddy Weber has an '06 Copper Red Shinka for the feature. And maybe when we do the story, we can hit-up a bunch of the aftermarket guys for some upgrades under the pretense of another C and D project car! Don't forget, the magazine has an amazing history with rotaries (go ask Bedard about the RX2) that must be sustained.
Cheers,
Bob
