No longer a figment of my imagination pt. 1
Got a pleasant surprise yesterday when my dealer called. My red 6spd sport arrived a week earlier than expected. Yes!!! Got to the dealer at 6:30pm, drove it home at 8:45pm. Yes!!! I'll post a write-up a little latter because I'm having too much fun now. But in the mean time, here's are some pics of mine. Finally, the pics are of my car and not someone else.
Another guy picking up his black 6spd GT.
The first and last time these two will be seen together. New RX-8 and old Civic Si.
Finally home!
Edit: Can't link to large pics. Stupid Fotki only link to pics under 500x500.

Gorgeous pictures... that black one could have been mine but my dealer didn't wash or wax it (per my instructions) and it was raining the same day so.... it looked like crap when I got it

I wish mine wasn't still a figment of my imagination. I took down the pictures of the car in my office becasue I'm tired of everybody asking me if I got my car yet. I know it will be here soon, but having people asking me about it is torture.
Thank you for keeping the dream alive.

Hang in there buddy. All your current anxieties will dissappear when your 8 arrived.

Did I say your anxieties will disappear? No, no, I meant to say that you will get a case of rotaritis and would be unable to work for a whole day.

Congratulations, Good Duck! I'm really looking forward to your review because I'm considering the Sport package, too. I'm interested in your impressions of the stock stereo. All I've seen is reviews of the Bose.
