Doesn't anyone in the NW like the RX-8 besides Zoom44 and myself? Hmmmmm....

 

No. Fun cars belong in fun places. So cal and florida only need apply.

 

Shaddap Puppy!:D At least with so few of us around we have that elusive exclusivity you cali boys are always looking for:p

anyways Magar there are only a few of us and we don't talk too much yet.(well except for me:o ) Welcome aboard! so what color, package etc have you ordered?

 

Yeah ... I like it, and I'm from the NW, though we're few and far between around here ...

 

Very Well Said Viper and Zoom!

I've ordered Red Mica with all black leather interior with the GT package. I'm hoping it makes it here in July. I haven't heard from the dealership in a while! How about you folks?

Puppy
Fun places like Cali and Florida? Puhleez, Oregonians just go there to use the amenities and come back to our lovely, untainted homes! :D

 

read my sig dealer still says car will be here in june

 

There are more of us lurking, I'm sure... I read pretty much every day, but don't post all that often -- when it comes to answering the info questions, there always seem to be others that know more than me... And most of my questions have been answered, so there's little need to start new threads...

I'm just trying to be patient, and hoping for an early release (of the car, not of my 9-5 sentence). I want to break the car in before mid-July, as I've got a road trip to Denver planned.

-ss

 

I knew that if I spouted off about how great Cali was , that you would get other NW's to chime in.

YOU ARE ALL WELCOME.

 

Seattle area here.

Us NWer's are here, I just dont post much, I lurk mostly. Thats due to I wont be able to buy my Rx 8 till next summer. I love the RX 8, and cars in general, but im not very savy when it comes to the technical aspects of cars so I dont have much to contribute.

I do look forward to seeing your Rx 8 on the road, and reading the experiences you have with them.

 

Hey guys, just found out the NW forum. I'm from Tacoma, WA. Can't wait to get my car and looking forward to a first NW RX-8 meeting!

 

well heres one new guy from alaska,cant wait for mine.must not be to popular up here yet because our dealer has 10 cars coming and only 2 were pre order and i just put my deposit on #3 on 6-6-03.

 

Has anyone got a confirmed-solid-iron clad-to die for-you can bet the farm on-definitely not Jeopardy-date for their ride yet? Sheesh! What is Mazda thinking?

 

You guys can add one more NW RX 8 junkie
to the short list!

 

welcome dmh,so you waiting on one also?

 

A good buddy of mine said that he saw a RX-8 at the Vintage race in Portland this last weekend! Could it be true!!!

 

Isn't that 3Rotor? He went down there with his 8.

 

yep that was his i got to see it on sunday. still got to wait a week or 2 for mine.

 

Alaska here!

Can anybody help? I didn't pre-order one... right now I'm trying to get a hold of the dealer here...don't give me the time since probably I live in an island (Kodiak)...Is there any available RX8 in Washington area???

 

POD,

There was one available over the weekend in Kalispell, MT! Red and ready for purchase...it's just a short flight and a great drive back to Alaska!

 

Another NWRX8 here - I'm in Oly, just have not viewed the NW forum much. Is everyone going to Izzy's this month?

 

Howdy! I'm an RX8'er in Eugene. I haven't seen very many here; maybe a total of 5. I kind of like the fact that the RX8 is somewhat rare. It makes it stand out as the very special car it is.

I bought mine last April...used, with only 2,300 miles on it. It was being offered by Lithia Hyundai in Renton, WA. The previous owner obviously didn't appreciate the car but he didn't do too much damage to it and all the running gear seems to be in great condition. Little by little, I'm healing her wounds...mostly to the interior.

 

i'm usually in the seattle/redmond/bellevue area... and they are not as rare anymore, i'm seeing alot more on the road now... infact i've seen 2 other yellows now...

 

Yes I love the 8 and will be getting one ASAP. In fact I just saw 3 of them, 1 black, 1 silver, and 1 gray on the freeway last weekend on the way back from Spokane. Great weather for driving, and on those mountain roads...drives me nuts to see them.

Also anyone who has an 8 in the Tricities, WA please speak up. I've seen red, black, and gray, green, and a beautiful winning blue mazdaspeed, plus a yellow one I know belongs to someone at RHS where I graduated from. Some VW guys had a get together at DQ in Richland, I think we should show them up with rotaries, and the more 8s the better!

 

Post a time and place. If the job doesn't have me traveling (and I'm not on a 5K mile road trip :D ) I'll be there.
