Congratulations. Looks great! I agree on the horse power issue; I have the car and know how it performs and simply love it.

Thumbs up

Nice looking ride!

Saw my first silver RX-8 at the dealer today. A great color (almost as good as velocity red ) that screams for clear corners. Post some pics when you get them installed.

WTF!!! My plate holder is rubbing against my front bumper, I see so many others that have theirs lower like your, looks better.

I tried lowering my plate holder, but it is a no go because the bolts won't line up. GRRRRRRRR.

I wonder if my dealer put on the wrong holder??

Skuzbucket:

I notice in your last pic that there is snow on the ground. What kind of tires are you riding? (Hope not the stocks!)

the only snow on the roads right now is on the driveway. All of the sideroads and highways are free and clear (no ice or water).

I will only take the 8 out on sunny dry days - otherwise - MP5 or my Jeep Cherokee.

I was just ragging on you. I own one of these myself in my arsenal of Mazdas. Just hadn't heard it referred to that way. I kind of think of mine as an mp5 because I'm wearing the 17"wheels from the protege mp3; a car named after it's stereo system. How silly. But congrats are definitely in order. You have great taste.

That picture was in my dream.

A "non-existant" RX-8 next to my real car, the yellow Protege 5..

Oh how I wish I could look out my window and see the same thing...

course it'd be a nordic green, but that's just me
