Northern Alberta.
Yellow/black GT (seems everyone else is jaded by all the yellow prototypes, but I still think it looks great!)
Deposit in- March *2002*.
Will replace my yellow Legend.
Have missed rotaries since I bought my RX3 in 1975 (my age is probably showing!)
Went to Jarman in Edmonton because of the fantastic service they gave my '3', the engine developed an internal antifreeze leak problem at 104,000 miles, (and I was the second owner!)
"It is covered by a warranty extension sir, bring it in and we will put a new rotary in for you." My cost $110 for some other parts. (It WAS a long time ago!)
I still cannot give Mazda enough credit for that.
Anyway, I am back.
(My GT seems to be coming in at $2652 over the $39595 MSRP at $42047 plus GST..... seems like a LOT of beer money is included.)

Sounds nice Doc, and welcome to the boards..
My personal favourite is Black, but thats because my 83 RX-7 GX (that was the loaded model in 83) was black.
I have been doing some very serious money numbers crunching and weighing all the possibilities of what to buy and so forth.
The RX8 is still high on the list, but I am afraid it is loosing ground to the 2004 WRX-STi arriving in May. I don't want a car that has to sit winterized for 6 or more months and keep driving my old **** box Saturn. So the verdict is, new car this year, and loose the Saturn. I don't want to drive an RX-8 in the winter, especially after this freaken long cold winter we have had in Winterpeg this year.
FYI - This WRX bad boy runs 0-60 in 4.6 with a 2.5L - 300HP turbo engine.
Now I know what you're all thinking "Benedict Arnold" well not so. If the money crunching works in my favour, I'll have both cars by early or mid 2005 :D I've waited more then 3 years for that stinken RX-8, whats another year or two? Not alot in the big picture.....And who knows, maybe the RX-7 will be coming by then.
Well thats my dream for tonight and thats the work load for my accountant.

Beer Money
Freight & PDI, obviously, but no prices spelled out,
Block heater & tank of gas,
Floor mats(?)
and "Jarman Advantage" ("Whats that?" 'Oil changes and routine stuff' "I don't want it" 'It has no dollar value, so no discount. Take it or leave it.')
Must be some pretty snazzy floormats!

24 yrs/ old, I'm in Ottawa.
I'm glad to hear demand isn't very large here............
I'm purchasing a car after my lease expires june 01 2004. Still debating on G35/RX-8/350Z/A4/Mazda 6/9-3/Altima or something else like WRX (don't really like body style).
Or I might just use common sense and get a "regular" 25K priced car.

Edmonton, checking in.
Edmonton area, deposit on Winning Blue in December,
I love the interior, and the SatNav (- does anyone know whether it incudes a trip computer function?)
I am also psyched to open up the stock air box, possibly add a K&N, and see what the intake howl really sounds like! It must be phenomenal with three tuned resonator stacks on the induction system! Guess I will have to wait and see, there is not much chance of anyone posting the actual sound (and the available sound files - like the 'Japanese Gear Shift Revving' one - sound way too much like an angry sewing machine.)
