I was just curious if anybody has gone back to their dealer since they bought there car. I went back about 2 weeks ago and my dealer had about 15 new Rx-8's on top of the 6 others they had not sold yet when i was getting mine.

I am so glad that not one of them was yellow, so far i am only the second yellow in my city and i have yet to see the other one that supposedly resides here.

 

I talked to my dealer about 5 weeks ago. He said he had sold a Ti.

Since I've bought my 8 I haven't seen another on the road where I live. I saw one red at another dealership getting prepped... so it must be out there somewhere

Still haven't seen Gord's Ti yet.

 

i've been to mine for oil change, cel light, and oil pan replacement

 

hye mike why you change youyr oil pan for?

 

I changed the pan because my vin fit the service bulletin announcement

 

I have a map light switch going bad, Mikeb. Is that what you had?

 

map lights......mine are red. I like the helicopter effect.

 

I went by my dealership about a month ago to pick up a brochure (they didn't have any when I took delivery and I still wanted one). Anyhow, they only had two on the lot that I saw (one in the showroom and one outside).

As for yellow, I've only seen one other yellow one on the road... actually, at all (besides mine). The one I saw on the road was from my office window which overlooks a toll road so I've never (yet) seen another yellow while I was driving.

BTW, do you find that bees are attracted to your yellow 8? For whatever reason it seems like they like to land on my car. It's probably happened 6 times while I was standing next to my car. Weird.

 

no i havent had the bee problem but yes they will be highly attracted to a bright yellow like our cars.

 

no map light problem
I changed mine to hyper white though

 

MikeB basically i was saying that i had changed my map lights to red bulbs for the effect and i actually like driving around @ night with them on because it lets me see everything in the car better without all the white light, just like the helicopter pilots use.

 

I go back regularly to get parts and stuff. I'll be havin g my first oil change next week.
All 8 of the RX-8s that were there when I bought mine in October still seem to be there as well as 10 others.
That is right - 18 RX-8s still on the lot. They have every color.

 

I guess the dealerships in Austin have a pretty good supply. As of today, Roger Beasley Mazda and Mazda South show 61 and 66 rx8's in stock respectively.

Funny thing is, I've only seen two in the wild.
