2006 RX8 in velocity red. Only 1800 miles on it. But that's technically "used," so I got it for about 8k off retail. Not bad at all. I traded up from a 98 Cadillac Seville SLS. It's a completely different beast. It doesn't have the neck-snapping torque the caddy is, but it's quick as hell. I love it.

It's an automatic, and I know that's looked down upon in a lot of circles. I am using it as a daily driver in heavy traffic and lots of late night driving, and I just find standard to be a hassle sometimes. I'm not gonna race it, just wanted something fun to drive and make the commute from college to home every few weekends in.

It's stock right now. I'll have the windows tinted within the next few weeks. Then I'm looking to the stereo... after that will be exhaust/intake/rims in some random order. Maybe a few years down the line I'll take a look at forced induction, but not now.

It's a beautiful car--sex on wheels. What a pleasure to drive. I'm really glad to have it and very thankful for it. I'm also glad to be a part of a community that can help me learn about my new beast. Look forward to absorbing your knowledge.

And the pics ( dealer pics, gotta get some decent ones tomorrow)...

 

congrats and welcome

 

I won't beat you up about the autotragic. Nice car though, andI know you'll love it. If you really want to see why they call it a sports car, wait till you need new tires, then tear it up at a track.

 

i won't beat on you about the automatic...but those rims gotta goooooooooooo

 

Welcome to the club.

welcome!!

 

Welcome and enjoy the new car. I have an AT and I love it. Drive it in manual shift mode and have fun.

 

What's that extra tag on right hand rear? Above the Mazda badge?

I hate it when dealerships actually tag their cars, I really hope that they didn't do that to you.

 

welcome!

 

congrats and welcome!

 

Welcome and thanks for the pics.

Get rid of the dealer tag and get new rims. The AT rims are just so not happening.

 

congrats & welcome

Hahah yeah it's a mitsubishi dealer tag. They didn't put it on too well so it's starting to peel off. It should be easy to get it off.

Now I need to look at all of your VR RX8s and decide what color rims go best with it .

 

Good buy and welcome!

 

congrats

 

congrats on the rx8 but i have to agree with everyone else .... got to change those rims

 

Welcome to the VR club.

 

My kind of color! Welcome!

 

Personal pictures:







I'm getting more used to driving it. It's so quick... especially in those upper power band ranges... in the higher RPMs it just... zooms :P.

 

Start with DeeDubb's and MissyK's VRs ... different wheels and color ... in my book the top two VRs on this forum. Plus those two have tons of pics here.

Almost forgot, welcome aboard
