UGH!!! ******* Dodge Avenger rental car! You would think that if Mazda is going to give you a rental car that they would rent a Mazda for you. Even an older one.

Not looking to complain too much, the bigger picture is the new engine. But having driven this piece of **** I wonder how the hell Dodge sells thousands of these things a year?!?

pushing a non running rotary, surprise

ER says looks like torn calve muscle but have to get to specialist grrrr I truely dislike doctors. Have already made an appointment and cancelled it as I was not up to the gyrations and hoops to jump through, good thing I have health insurance grrrr

Good thng the DD is a huge beast as I have to put the seat all the way back and drive with my finger tips or my foot would not come of the throttle, nothing like revving up to the like trying to stop

That's because its from Enterprise Rent-a-car... Mazda itself only have a few "loaners" to give out...if any at all. I should know, I've gone through 3 engines.

Good luck on the new-to-you engine. Is Doug your service rep?

Chris and Doug are my service reps. So far so good. Hey how is it you have been through 3 engines? Do I get another 100K warranty on my new engine?

Hello fellas,

It was fun while it lasted. But I must say farewell to my 8....actually said farewell last month. She will be missed... after going through 2 rx8's i must bid adieu. If you see her driving by, it won't be me...







So i guess my rotary pass is now expired.

Good luck with whatever you run with next!!!

If any of the local 8 wish to help with WHiV4, meet us at the Orleans on Saturday at 8am. We will meet on the west side of the Arena in the Arena parking lot. As always all are welcome.

3 engines = dunno. Every maintenance schedule was done at the dealership and they had all the records... unfortunately you do not get another 100k...

Doug was my rep for the last one. Peter was my initial rep but he's a finance manager @ courtesy hendo now since they switched again.

The messed up thing right now though is that the dealer which i originally purchased the car through (Peoples Mazda) is out of business and i'm due a refund for the GAP insurance i purchased. But the insurance company says that the dealer has to initiate the refund. Ugh! So annoying

That is crazy. I'm in the same boat with another car right now. Going to call the GAAP insurance provider on monday about this.

If that doesn't work, I'm going to write a letter, with copies of the contracts, to the State Attorney General's Office.

i had 2... first was a '04 GT VR - purchased in late 2003 traded in 2005. Second was the 2006 BB Shinka. Had no probs w/ '04, but traded it in w/ about 30k... the Shinka was purchased in '08 w/ 25k... and I didn't race/drift the cars...just "spirited" if you know what i mean

Hi local Peeps.........I believe that some of you are coming to WHiV4. If you plan on attending even if only a few events then let me know so that we can plan for you. All you have to do is post that you are coming or PM me. Be sure that I have your screen name and real first name. You must have a badge to attend.

NOTE:

A badge will be required to partispate in any of the events that are part of WHiV4. The badges are free - no cost. They will be available Friday from 3pm until 8pm, again on Saturday from 9am until 10:00am at the start of the drive.

Coming to the Friday night party in the Penthouse? You must have a badge to get by Hotel Security.

Parking in the garage area......Security may ask to see your badge.

If you do not have a badge you may be asked to leave any event or to move from the partisipants area.

If you can't make the friday or saturday times, pm or post me or 13X for special arrangements.

In order to obtain a badge we will need to know, State your from, your screen name, real first name and type of Rotary you drive

She's home!!! She's definitely faster and I am holding back on the throttle for now AND the transmission noise is even gone! Guess I had the thing misaligned. New motor mounts got rid of the idle vibration too.

My baby is brand new again!!!
