Hello from a new RX-8 Owner in the west!
Hello! My real name is Jon and I just got a used 04 Rx-8 yesterday! (well, technically about 12 hours ago). Just wanted to stop in and say hi to anyone else in the Vegas area with one of these.

Hello All,
I was going to start a very similar thread, but Eihort beat me to it. My name is Dan and i'm a proud new owner of an 06 galaxy gray mt. Just wanted to say hi to all. Hello especially to anyone in the Los Angeles (san fernando valley) area.
RX8 rocks!!!

Okies. I changed the subject line to a general "Hello world!" type message so all the new owners who found this place can come say hi!
EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently I can't do that.

No worries Eihort. Las Vegas, Los Angeles, its all good! I just did not want to gum up the forum with a bunch of "hello there" threads! How are you enjoying your rx8 thus far?

no burn outs yet for me.....peel outs here and there though. I just cant help it, i get in the pilots seat of this car and its instant-jackass.
I find myself going to redline for no reason what-so-ever (aside from the pure, unadulturated pleasure of 9000rpm). Thus far i've been relegated to the rush hour commute and have not had much chance to really go full-tilt, but cannot wait till i'm able to do some canyon carving.
The one night i was driving down benedict canyon/mulholland, it had rained, so after sliding the read end out on some turns, i decided it would be best NOT to total the car before the new-car smell went away.

Naw. No burnouts here. I had a nice scary moment when I was test driving it where I hit an oil spot and fishtailed a few times. I'm transitioning from an 06 Accord with the inline 4 piddle motor. I have some bad muscle memory habits to break and learn how to finese the rotary engine. Still trying to adjust to much higher RPM than I'm used to.
Although my "jackass factor" has gone up a bit on the 215 now that I have the power to get around those pokey folks who don't know how to merge with traffic.
