Awesome! A pleasure to meet everyone! Thanks for showing up and a special thanks to Berny and Gary from the SoCalRXClub for hauling their cookies down to Orange County to greet the new owners!

Last ones











Again, thanks to Berny (Prez of SoCal RXClub, orange shirt on left) and Dave Lemon from Mazdatrix for coming out and supporting. (Dave has lots of interesting RX-8 products soon to be released). Too bad we had no red or black ones attend. TribalAzn showed up in his Titanium(left of Berny). You can smell the coatings burning off the cars in the parking lot, and it's a great smell! We attracted many people wondering what the heck is that sexy car?

Berny/Dan help yourself to any pics.

Damn straight! Had to beat Eccles, IBFUBAR, and the other Texas bubbas. :D
The pic of TribalAzn's titanium came out blurry but here it is anyhow with sharpening. It is verrry sweet in person! The silver one left before we could compare the colors.



Nice pics, Dave!

Well there would have been a black one there if my car had arrived at the dealership this week like it was supposed to! grrrrr! This past week has been torture!

It was great seeing all the blue ones there and great seeing the yellow and nordic green in person for the first time! All of the colors looked very nice! I thought I'd post another pic of the green since we haven't seen too many of them yet (hope you don't mind, DisneyDestroyer )

It was nice meeting Gary from the SoCal RX-7 club. Sorry I didn't get to meet you while you were there, Toadman!

Nick(DisneyDestroyer) hadn't had a chance to wash his Nordic Green yet. Remnants from Hurricane Claudette made a mess of his car in San Diego. Nordic Green is really sweet, almost like a Montego Blue FD. I'd like to see it at sunset/sunrise.

A 2-second quicktime video.

Great job guys. This weekend I am in Vegas for a friends wedding, so I wasn't able to attend. Besides my car is still in Hueneme. The cars look great. I was surpised by all the blue and yellow, especially when it seemed everyone was ordering silver, titanium and red.

*edit* What are you trying to say, Tribal?

Consider yourself very lucky you can afford a 30k+ car at your age. Gotta love that gorgeous titanium! Enjoy the paint/fabric protector you got sucked into buying, also. :D -jk- -TM

Congratulations new US owners !!

I feel, The sky and the sun in the US show blue more beautifully than Japan.

BTW I can attach nothing to the front window of a car by the Stxxxd Japanese law. :D

thanks

LOL

Sorry I missed it. I was surprised by the single TiGray. I was under the impression a couple of months ago that everyone was getting gray. I'd also like some comments on the green car there. I've still not seen it in person. AND I've still not seen another one on the road yet...I must be cruising in the wrong neighborhoods.
