Howdy Folks,
just financed a titanium gray 6 speed with leather. interior is mint, exterior shiny and like new. 79k miles on it and got it at a BMW dealer who had no idea what they were doing with this beauty on their lot. drove great till earlier today when i was downshifting and heard the clutch pedal pop... damn clutch pedal assembly I reckon! Lucky for me I called mazda customer service, updated the vin with my info as the new owner and made sure I could still get it replaced under warranty. Appointment set for this weekend and will hopefully have it back in time for a nice drive with some friends for memorial day weekend. Yes I will be getting the reinforced bracket for the assembly for insurance and the future. But it is nice to know that the stock one lasted 8 years
picks attached for oogling

Super sexy car man, do you anticipate having a lot of problems with it? I'm picking up a 2004 with 80,000 on saturday. I'm just nervous that this car will have a lot of problems. I don't want something that breaks down every time I drive it, or a car I'm scared to take on long distances. Is this your first Rx8? Have you had good experience with these before? Thanks for any input
