Any more Rx8 R3 in SoCal
Just wondering if there are any new 011 R3s left looming around. Called Mazda of Orange on Saturday which had one left, but unfortunately got beaten to it by one day. I wanna try for a new one before I go the used route.

Well...try calling some Mazda dealerships around your area and ask if they can get you one from the other Mazda dealerships (extra fees may apply). Anyway, Carmax does it when your searching for a vehicle that you wanted, but is not available in your local Carmax dealer. Good luck.

Don't trust the dealerships if they tell you there aren't any available. My local dealership said there were no '09's in the Southwest in the color I wanted. I found one in San Francisco browsing the inventory on Mazda USA site. My dealership still said it didn't exist, they only admitted it after I had them call the SF dealership in front of me. The moral is: don't trust the dealerships!
Are you willing to expand your search outside SoCal? It only cost me ~400 to get my car shipped from San Francisco to Phoenix. You can easily make up that difference by getting better/competing offers from out-of-state dealers. Mazda USA's website limits the search to 250 miles though so if you want to expand your search beyond SoCal you will have to try a few different zip codes.

It wasn't easy to get, and I have a good story to tell.
I drove up from San diego two days in a row. When I arrived the first time, it could not be started because of a blown main fuse, someone tried to jump start it with the cables crossed. And they did not have the fuse in stock.
They could not even tell me the miles on the clock.
