Any pre-order from FL?
I just put in my deposit for a 6spd red, black cloth, sport. I wanted the red leather but did not want sunroof, BOSE, heated seat or the $3900 price tag of the GT package. I pre-orderred at Cory Fairbanks Mazda in Orlando. Anyone else have place their orders in FL?

I pre-ordered my 6MTGT at Quality Imports in Ft. Waton Beach (panhandle). I also went for the velocity red. I so can'r wait to see it. In a couple of the press kit photos, it looks very metallic (almost having a brassy sheen), but others appear more solid. I'll be stoked if it's brassy, but still thrilled of its solid.

I went to the dealer and checked out all the paint that had "Mica" in them. Everyone of them was metallic in some way. Plus from the numereous photos from autoshow posted elsewhere on this forum, the Velocity Red Mica is definitely metallic.

Ordered my Red 6MT from Palm Beach Mazda. Didn't need the heated seats but I had to have the leather, so I went for the GT package and all black leather seats. They say that they have about seven (7) coming in in early April, two are already spoken for. There was a red one coming in that order but it had the black & red leather seats and the nav system. I don't think I need the nav system and I think that black & red leather would get to me after a while... So they ordered one JUST FOR ME!

B-Nez.... Do you live in Ft. Walton, or are you in P-Cola and just buying your car over here? (I actually bought my car from Quality.)
I only ask because I live in Ft. Walton and would like to see your ride when you get it. :D
I would love to get a few pics of it down by the beach or something with my car. Let me know if your interested.

You guys are in FWB? Cool! I grew up there and went to FWB HS until 10th grade. My parents are still live there. So maybe I'll see you guys for a Mazda meet when I visit my parents.

Oops, missed your guys' posts...Yeah, I live in Crestview and work in Ft. Walton.
MP3, who are you going through at Quality? Did they tell you what their allocation was or how many pre-orders they have? I'm working with Gary Pearson. I first talked to him last winter, and gave him a deposit for 1st on list. He later sent the deposit back, but kept the list, so I just stuck with him. Interestingly, after I preordered, and my wife had gone in to complete the order, someone from Quality sent a text message to my mobile. There was no name, just the number. I'm guessing that someone got snubbed (internet sales mgr?).
FYI the Mazda Rotary Car Club of Florida has an arm in Pensacola. I know Dale and Jay out that way - used to hang with them a bit when I had my FC. Good dudes.

Just realized that you meant you bought your MP3 at Quality. Duh. The info still applies anyway...
Edit: And yeah, sure, I'd love to do a photo shoot. Were you thinking along the lines of Navarre beach and Gulf Islands National Seashore?

Replying to my own post:p
I had some time to kill today, so I stopped in to chat with Gary. I picked up a new RX-8 pamphlet (not a full brochure) that he had just received, and talked about allocation. That was enlightening.
Their allocation was 2 units. Not 2 a month, but 2 units until they are both sold. So, that means that until both cars are delivered and "closed out", they get no more. They ordered 2 cars - mine and a second one for the showroom. So, unless MNAO changes the rules midseason, mine will be the only RX-8 from Quality until the main production units hit the lot in the fall (if then). Then, they'll only get one for each one they've already sold. Wow. I am damned glad I got the #1 spot on that list last winter! I think I'll definitely be getting the upgraded security system.
BTW, I'll be posting pics of the pamphlet in the pics forum...

Cool B-Nez...I can't wait to see your new RX-8 cruizing around :D
As far as pictures go, anywhere is fine with me. I took the picture in my sig down by the NCO club next to the Destin bridge. I'll go anywhere though, I just want to see your car, hehe :D

Another Florida preorder here! Just submitted my online order on Wednesday night and visited my dealer on Thursday afternoon 2/27 to confirm my order and give my $500 refundable deposit.
With my birthday being in September, I'm REALLY looking forward to my birthday present this year! The timing should be just perfect!:D :D :D

Numerous times Mazda has said they will START building them in April. I hope you guys are good with tools to finish putting them together. But please prove me wrong because that means I'll be getting mine too!

According to DMV I'm suppose to put this on my current vehicle. A 1990 Honda Accord. I'm going to keep it in the trunk of the Honda for safe keeping until the 8 arrives. Hopefully in May.
