i have been around the forums for about a month or so, and i have learned so much from you guys. Just wanted to thank you for that. Secondly, thanks to all the great posts i was able to find an 8 that i like and i am flying down to florida to pick it up on saturday. I live about 10 hours away from the dealership that has the car(a buddy of mine owns the car dealership)so i got an incredible deal on the vehicle. Its a 10 hour drive back so i am going to have plenty of time to bond with my new baby, but i will be gentle with it! Just wanted to thank all the folks who took the time to put out some great posts for a newbie like me to read and learn from. I am sure that i will have more questions to be asked once i get the car, and i can rest assured that i will get the answers that i need right here. Just four more days before i join the RX owners club!

 

Congrats!!! :D

 

Welcome and congrats!

 

Congrats. Enjoy your new ride.

 

Congrats!!! Wishing you a safe drive home and atleast 20 MPG.....

 

Congratulations. You're going to love the car!

 

thank you guys! I cant wait to sit in the car and drive off into paradise! Any other time i would dread driving for 10 hours, but i cant wait for this trip. Talk about a long week ahead of me...saturday wont get here soon enough. I do hope that i get some descent gas mileage because if not then i will be forking out some money for the 600 some miles that i have to drive. Oh well, i got my new little toy so who cares. i was told to make sure and change up my speed on the interstate to break the engine in. I am going to follow all instructions to the "T". Anyways, thanks again for the warm welcome. Pass along any advice that you might have, i am all ears.

 

take some oil just in case

 

It's like flying somewhere to meet your long lost love! But this one won't talk back & will let you pick the music!

Have a great/safe drive. You ought to get 20-22 mpg if you don't goose the gas too much.

 

Just wait till you get your engine broken it and you can do the buzzer run at will...its all good!

 

Congrats! You will love the car. Funny you should be flying to pick up your new car...as for me...

I loved my last one (totalled) so much that I wanted the identical car again. And I didnt want to wait 3 months to order one. I found ONE in Kansas. So this Friday I'm flying to pick it up.

This is the only car I would ever think about flying to pick up. Good luck to us both! Drive safely.

 

well man good luck with your travels as well. I never thought that i would fly somewhere to pick up a car, but it sounds like this isnt just any car, so i am sure it will be worth it. have a safe trip, and congrats on the new car as well.
