My new/used winning blue RX8 (xmas present to myself)

My last car was stolen (Integra GSR) and well I just had to have the RX8...it is sooo freakin sweet!! Unfortunately I got a sports car at the beginning of the winter season lol, but what can ya do. Bought the Bridgestone Blizz WD-50 on black 17" steels looks (not bad) and handles great. The TCS and slip is awesome, fun to punch it and hear it click in and grab. Drove over 8 hours in our biggest snow storm in I don't know how long and the car was awesome!!

LUV it! Can't wait for the summer

Winning blue, GT, MT6

I totally understand how excited you must be, because I got myself the exact same X'mas present 1 year ago. Good for you!

Thx all!!

Hell ya merry f8kin xmas to myself dmc27 Can't get a much better present for yourself than a new car, can ya.

I luv the colour along with the side skirts on it. Not sure how many mods I am going to do to it tho. My last car had lots and lots on it, I kinda like not having a loud exhaust anymore for one. But we will see, just enjoying it as it is for now.

nuke0907 - I have had some fun, and also tons of stress, didn't want to f8k it up last weekend in our big snow storm that was some crazy *** sh8t.

redlining once a day helps clear out the carbon deposits in your engine, in turn it lasts longer. cause we all know that carbon buildup = bad

Good for you.

Like you I had a Integra GSR (leased) before I got my '04 WB. And like you - I had issues with theft/vandalism

Enjoy the ride - it's awesome and light years better than the GSR.

That's more than the appearance package, isn't it? Aren't those the MazdaSpeed side skirts? Not stock ones anyway...nice ride. I tried driving mine in the winter here(Iowa), not gonna drive it again until spring. Those new Bridgestone S-03 Pole Positions don't really like the snow too much...took me half the day just to get it back up my driveway, LOL.
