That's awesome! MM you are a role model for the Rx-8 community. I only hope that my own 8 (when I get it) will match to the clean looks of yours. I especially love the use of the nav system for your own means. Very impressive.
PhotoMunkey, I'll be buying that magazine next trip to the store. I'm just sorry I missed it last time I scanned the titles. I've noticed that there seems to be a lack of anything rotary, let alone Rx-8's in the mags lately and its been a real disappointment. With a promise of more goodies to come I very well may be purchasing a subscription soon. Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone!
Despite any "quoting" in the article, it was totally Eric's writing. Even the quotes are properly formatted "paraphrase" for magazine prose. Its what I said, but in a much more reader-friendly format.
Besides, what kind of article would it be if it had quotes like: "I dunno, I just threw in a ******' turbo, man!".
As far as pics go, Eric is so far and beyond anything I could possibly approximate, its ridiculous to suggest otherwise.
My car only looks good because Eric looked at it the right way.
There is no re-touching in those pics - that is just plain skill.
I realized I put 2007 in the title and I went back and edited it.
However, the edit didn't "take" and I've tried it a few times.
It was weird to write "current" in a sentence that contained a future date.
That USB mini-keyboard controls my CarPC. Read the article!
Also - everyone write a letter to the editor (I think you can do it on-line) raving about Eric's skill and the presence of an RX-8 in the mag.
You want them to feel that there is a vast, untapped audience out here.

Emailed the SR. ED. Gotta pick up the issue tomorrow. I hope we see more Rx-8 stuff...I don't remember who said it, but I agree that you can only see so many Nissans and Subbies before you get sick of it.
