I don't care if all those 8 buyers know what they have, as long as they keep sending lots of $ to Mazda and keep the Hiroshima plant running. WE know what it is, and I hope the line continues for a very long time.

Here's the 5 questions that should be asked/
1) Did you know this car gets horrible gas mileage?
2) Did you know this car burns mucho oil?
3) Did you know this car floods easily?
4) Did you know this car stalls in the heat?
5) Did you know the AC in this car is inadequate?
Affirmative answers to thesed 5 questions would save Mazda dealers plenty of headaches from people coming back and complaining later.
Just being a smart@$$, I still have my 8. For now. :p

Anwser for 4. If it floods in the heat it can't run, hence can't stall because it won't run.
Anwser for 5. It's HOT here. ANY A/C is inadequate
Question 6) Did you know that the engine *MAY* fail before 20k miles?:p

Only word of caution for this car is .."Warning: It is IMPOSSIBLE to keep this baby under the speed limit!"

Oh, and actually the A/C worked just fine, all things considered. I LUV my Shinka!!..thankyaverymuch!

Ofcourse I could not duplicate the tranny sound for the service guy this morning. I asked him to let the car cool and try it again since it's always louder in the morning. Hopefully it's nothing. Also asked him to check for signs of damage related to next months recall.

Yellow "ZUKEEPER" spotted at Brennan's tonight
Dammit I've seen your car several times by now :D I wrote up on a napkin how to find us here at RX8Club but when I went back out your car was gone~ (again) Obviously Brennan's is as much a neighborhood place for you as for me but I can't figure out who you are. I'm thinking you're a ladie tho!
I saw you! :D
