Is that 100 shoes or 100 PAIRS of shoes? Wait... female... right. 100 pairs it is.

Since you live around Scarborough, Scarboro Mazda will be a natural choice - they are also the most active rx8club dealership here...
For example, they hosted an event at Mosport in early May...
I hate mondays and I have to post, blood, toil, sweat and victory @ Mosport
Oh btw, a bunch of us are also going to the track this coming Friday!
See ya around...

Welcome! Welcome! Your wallet will start hating you...NOW
j/k the car is thirsty, but as everyone says on this forum, this car has a way of growing on people...it's just that good! Everyone here is extremely friendly & helpful, you get the best of both worlds, friendly Canadian's (+ dozer :p) and car ppl all in one package. Not sure if anyone mentioned 01racing's name, so ask for Al at the dealership
One last thing, do us all a favour and drive this car hard!!! (unless Kafka...*ehem* pedo has other favours to ask :p)

Great choice in color, easy to keep clean, and looks mint even when dirty. Car is great as it is. No need to jump to mods right away. Just enjoy the car, but if you are interested in mods, the other guys have a ton of mods you can check out at the meets.

you might want to do some tune up and change the oil pump/gas pump to save yourself some gas.
Checkout how much you got a tank, and see if your wires are still fine.
my best record was 420 km for a tank.
