I know what you mean.. i have run down to the parking about four/fives times to take a look at the car.
I was not happy it rained though here in Sydney got a few ugly acid rain black drops on the back bumber. Im going to take a towel everywhere i think to, give it a quick dry after it rains.

Now don't get paranoid about rain please, Choppy: it is only because it has rained in the last few months that I could afford to upgrade to an 8. (Guess my occupation.)
Just between you and me, don't tell Kev or L&L, they probably do look prettiest in silver. As 3 of our last 4 cars were silver I was told we needed a change, so got the closest colour.
Enjoy, jack.

Welcome .... as a Titanium Gray owner, I guess we are kin!!
After 4 months (and 13000km) I still get a buzz from seeing the car ... but a bigger one from driving it!!
As for keeping it clean, I've found keeping it waxed makes it simple to wipe of marks with a moist chamois ...
Enjoy,
Rob

I was told by the sales guy/ head of mazda service department/ manual etc that she doesnt need breaking in really.. but dont have her cruzing to long at the same speed, avoid cruiz control etc.
But im sure everyone else would have there own opinions on everything they can share with you on breaking her in.

Its very nice but i think my 8 has enough stuff on it, as you see on the pics it has alot of extras (air dam, side skirts etc..)
also it has a aftermarket exhaust system and the rims not sure if their 17 or 18inch.
so thats enough for me.

$62000
But as u can see it has like around $10000 worth of extras, wheels, exhaust and factory extras side skirts, strakes, air dam, rear deflector, rotary symbols front & back and a few others.
it has 15000k's on it but for me to by brand new and get those extras which is basically what i wanted except for the wheels and exhaust (but now that ive seen it i like it) i cant find it anywhere to buy.
So to me its a good deal but also i need to goto melb for business also so kill 2 birds w/ 1 stone.
