Just picked up a new RX-8 this morning....

Nothing can beat new car smell..... I just picked up my RX-8 (it took about a month because it has be manufactured at Mazda's plant in Hiroshima). It was like a 7 km on the odometer at the dealer (I took these pictures after I drove around the town). The nav is excellent. Ride is just right without getting harsh.

What does that have to do with a person being 30? I'm 35 and have 18s and my 8 is lowered. Don't be ageist!!!

My plan for the wheels is to use these stock 16-inchers for the snow tires (when I need to replace tires) and get the new 18" wheels for the rest of the seasons. I opted for the standard wheels because they are cheaper, give me more comfortable ride, and would be less prone to the theft (I have just moved in recently and am not sure of how safe this neighborhood is). I picked silver color for this car instead of going for blue or red because I do not want my car stand out in the parking lot (because of those bright colors).

you might want to take it back to the dealer, your steering wheel is on the wrong side
