My new Winning Blue 8!
 
Me and my brand new RX8 with ALL the options including NAV system!

And to make it even better, I'd just set a new personal record in a 10k Road Race! (on foot, not in the 8 <g>).

WHealy,

Yours might have been the first 8 I saw in the Wild! I saw one in Fishers on 116th about 2 or 3 months ago. It was blue also.

And then saw one (Blue 8) just last week by Cardinal Fitness just south of Costco on Michigan Road.

I actualy live in Westfield/Noblesville and work at 96th & Michigan.

Got 723 miles on the 8 and LOVING it! Think this is going to be an even better car than my Renisance Red 1980 Aneversiry Edition RX7!

Hugh? This is bcrothers....and I just posted the reply that shows as Speed17 in California.

Where did that come from? I've used bcrothers as a user name for near on a decade!

Welcome to the forum :)

I wishthe blue Rx8s could actually stay that bright and shiny. They only seemto look like that for the first two weeks and thenafterwards they become dull. All the blue Rx8s Ive seen around here have become dull and not very pleasing to the eye. I guess that color has to be waxed often to keep it that shiny. Another reason why I got the Titanium.

Others have posted about the login name change. You might search to find more info on how they cleared it up.

Make sure you post in the MW forum to get in with the rotary email group ... unless you are already there!

I also have a blue 8 and i don't think it is hard to keep it looking good ,but i do wash mine twice a week &already have 2 coats of wax on it .when you have a car that looks this good it's a joy to keep it clean

grogiefrog 03-06-2004 07:15 PM

Very nice!

What dealer did you buy from in Indy? Any recommendations?

blksf8 03-06-2004 07:20 PM

congrats. That blue keeps growing on me. good choice!

RX8_GT 03-06-2004 07:20 PM

Had to go with the Blue - it made it Red White and Blue.

This is becoming a IN thread. I'm in Hillsdale IN - just north of Terre Haute - got the RX-8 from Roush dealership in Carmel IN. John

May I suggest Brilliant Black. Perfect color for the RX8.

Gandu 03-06-2004 08:46 PM

You could have also gotten Brilliant Black. The Father of all colors.

JeRKy 8 Owner:

I have seen studies showing that certain colours do not require as much cleaning as other - Greys and Light Colours being the easiest to maintain - Others in the middle - and Black the most difficult - so I can see your point BUT I must there is nothing more appealing to my eye as a just cleaned and waxed Black car - my E320 and XJ6 in particular.

From a maintence point of view I wash my cars every week or two - about 20 minutes to rinse, hand wash and dry. I wax twice a year or so - about one to 1 1/2 hours then - just finished my blue RX-8 first wax job.

For me this is not a pain but a pleasure.

My 2 cents

John
