Red face Hope this isn't good bye ;)

Well I finally got tired of my 8 being in the shop so dang much so I told the dealer to find me a new car. What they suggested is that I go down to Marietta and get this, which I did .....



Well I absolutely love the MazdaSpeed! It handles as well if not better than my 8 and is a blast to drive...(something bout them Mazda's). But I hope this doesn't mean that we cant all still get together and hang out sometime....especially at the autocrosses

Nice choice I tested one out at a Rev It Up 2 years ago and it was a blast to drive. How long before you crank up the boost?

Do you think the car being in the shop all the time had anything to do with your extensive mod list?!?!?

Oh Vishnu tuning has some great stuff for the MS Miata, check it out, i think 30+hp from just software. http://www.vishnutuning.com/miata.htm

well see most of the stuff that was wrong with it or went wrong wasn't anything I did to it...even the engine being replaced was a bad 'o' ring that they said had nothing to do with any aftermarket parts. Between the air conditioner, the oil leaks, remotes stop working, and the oil cooler line busting coming back from Alabama.....I just figured it was time to start looking for something different.

They were really confused though when they gave me a survey asking if I'd ever consider getting another rx-8...I said well heck yeah it's a great car that looks killer and is a blast to drive. lol

I did ask the dealer if he'd swap the engines out in the cars just as a joke though He kinda just looked at me wierd....
