I got my Titanium Gray 6M with the sport package! Picked it up Monday night just in time for Christmas. The wife gave me the choice of putting the cargo rack on the MPV, or driving the RX8 full of gifts and her driving the van up to the in-laws. That wasn't too hard of a decision. Looks like it's going to be my best Christmas ever, and I get to brake it in too!

 

If you visit the goldcoast you can drive my yellow baby.

I want liquid chic for X-mas!!!

 

My wife got me the rotary accents front and rear, and a set of clear corners for christmas/birthday. My birthday is the 13th. I'm trying to get a set of all weather mats, but they have been on back-order for ever.

 

I want nice rims... My wife still didnt get over me buying rx8 so I guess wheels have to wait a while, unless she will not notice... meanwhile I got gap boxers...

 

Do you have a price on the all-weather mats? My dealer quoted me $70 and that is supposed to be their cost unless they're giving me the BS. They said all accessories at cost when I bought the 8.

I looked on Edmunds and if you configure a new car w/ the all-weather mats, it shows the MSRP at $60 and invoice at $45 for those mats. Do they cost that much more if you don't get them with the car?

 

Ok, now that Christmas has come and gone, did you get what you hoped? I got non-8 shirts and pants, no sunscreen. If you posted earlier on this thread, go back and edit your post to say whether or not you got your Christmas wish.

 

My youngest son organized for his eldest brother to change my avatar to the one on show now, new year new avatar , its growing on me.ha ha ha

 

I got footwell lights, front and rear accents and red leather console box covers. I pretty much scored.

I'm going to use the $500 from Mazda to buy the illuminated shifter in red, a red leather parking brake handle and exhaust finishers.

 

Did one of them create the avatar? If so, it's very cool. Merry Christmas; the greatest gifts are always the one with such a personal touch.

 

Yeah in an age were people believe that you have to spend big in order to be happy its a great gift from my kids i think they found the avatar cartoon somewhere on the internet.

My greatest gift all year round has always been my wife and my 3 boys.

I dunno what dealer cost is on those mats, but I was getting 20% off and it came out to $58.

 

I got the best present of all for Christmas....too bad I had to buy it for myself. After more than 2 months of waiting, my Velocity Red GT RX-8 arrived and I picked it up on Christmas Eve. I'm finally an official member of the illustrious RX-8 Club.

 

I'm thinking of selling my 2nd gen. It's a GXL so no turbo though. I'm probably looking at getting $2k or something for it.

Cheers,
Simon.
