FINALLY got my 8

Finally got my 8 today. It's a brilliant black GT with blk. & red leather interior. Six speed of course! It was the only black GT I could find within 40 miles of Los angeles (Southbay). Car listed for 31,665. Got it for 29,000 & got the spare tire kit and Sirius too. My dealer was Star Mazda in Glendale, CA and my salesman Bob was pretty fair. I'm just stoked to be driving it and already put 100 miles on it through the hills of Palos Verdes. Can't sem to post picture as it won't shrink past 158 kb using paint. Needs to be 146.5kb or less to post (HELP) I want to show my new ride to the community.

After surfing your site for nearly a year, I am glad to be an owner. Can't wait till she's broken in. First upgrade will have to be exhaust. Gotta go people. Se ya'll on the forum, or better yet, on the road.

FINALLY GOT 1 THUMBNAIL POSTED, EVEN THOUGH IT'S FROM MY CAMERA PHONE.

By the way, my car is a 2007.

Congrats. Was that 29K with tax and fees?

Make sure you follow proper break in procedure.

Size of pic doesn't really matter if you attach it to your post. Look at the bottom of the page for "MANAGE ATTACHMENTS".
