New To the CLub - Silver 05, Touring

What's up club?

Just picked up an 05 Silver MT Touring with the appearance package, Spoiler, and tape player (what a stupid option).
Traded in the ole 93 MX-6 LS and sold the 89 MX-6.

Picked it up last week with 532 miles on her.

So far I love the handling, steering, styling, and RWD!!!

Milky dipsick (over 1 qt low), damaged wheel lip, paint flaws, no wheel lock key are the negatives - soon to be taken care of by the dealer tomarrow.
Not to mention my fear of scratching it, dingin it,etc....

Anyways, thought I would create my 1st post here since this is my 1st rotary, shizzle, it's the 1st car i've picked out myself (always wanted the 7's)...

Have pics, just don't know how to attach em.

Congrats on a great colour choice. If you hear something about a curse just don't believe it.

Welcome to the club!

P.S. Upload your photos below your post but they must be < 250K.

Yes congrats on your new RX-8!
Here is one way to post pic's.
First upload your pictures on a site like this one http://imageshack.us/
After you upload your pic cut and past whats in the "Direct link to image" box on "ImageShack" then come back to rx8club. Click on the "Go Advance" button then "Insert Image" button its right under "Font Size and Color". In the box that you see cut and past whats in the "Direct link to image" box on ImageShack.





The second way to post pics is by clicking on the "Go Advance" button then under "Additional Options" up load you pics from your desk-top or folders.
Hope that helps

I have an 05 Touring package myself, shes a little over 1 month old and I've put almost 1300 miles. Silver is definitely the best color and don't believe all that curse mambo jumbo lol.

Welcome. Great color. Had mine 14 months, 8 days, and two hours, and never had so much fun driving a car.

Watchout for the curse. I got a silver about 1 month ago and smashed the front end 3 weeks after I got it. Another guy just hit an animal with his silver 8 and screwed up his front end. I don't actually believe in the curse, but silver is now my least favorite color.

I wish I would have thought of that. Darn!!! I would have added that in. Oh well. I have virtually everything else in it. LOL

yeah, that is what i thought since i already had the tape adapter.
now i just need an mp3 player with more than 128 MB.

the spot for the tape actually fills a void in the dash quite nicely.
