ZOOM ZOOM! (New owner!)

I just got back from buying a 2005 with MT Grand Touring Package, Rear Wing Spoiler and In-Dash 6-Disc CD Changer.

LOVE the car and drive. The console is busy with all kinds of goodies I need to read on and understand...The only downside is I drove an hour to the dealership and then came home to find out the check from my bank wasn't endorsed..

$@#@!$

I left an e-mail for the sales manager and let him know I could be back tomorrow afternoon and sign that check. Miffed that I missed it and that they missed it too..

Ah well, will give me a chance to drive her around some more and break her in.

Pics this week!

I thought I would just post to this thread instead of starting a new one since I liked the subject.

I just picked up my 05 RX-8 last Wednesday.

Sunlight Silver Metallic
Black/Red Leather
Grand Touring Package
Navigation System

Welcome to the cult!

Check the DIY Forum for a couple of threads on protecting your AC condensor and oil coolers. If a stone takes them out it's not covered by warranty.

Other than that, ZOOM-on!

Put some $ in the bank for the inevitable tickeys you will get. But I find the cops are kind of put off when they roll up to the window and you have a big grin on your face. I tell them to hop in and they can drive and see if they are grinning when it is over. Most of the times they smile and shake their head.

I never thought I would own a rotary
I never thought I would buy a yellow car ?!?
I never thought I would find a deal this good on a car this fun
I never would have bought this car if I hadn't found this website

Going to pick up my 2004 6M GT tomorrow

Ok so it's my wife's car, I'm sure she'll let me drive it once in awhile, don't you think?

I hope so. If not . . . I am sorry to hear your wife hurt her left foot and can't use the clutch. I wonder how that happened . . . hmmm.

BTW, welcome all new owners !

Pacodog. Sorry to tell you this, but you'll be lucky if you ever get to drive your wife's 8. She'll want it all to herself.
