it is great when you blow passed a new Mustang since they are all over the damn place!! Our 8s are a real car that gets allot of attention, I would say It gets looked at almost as an exotic considerign most people do not see them allot.

When I was driving to work today, I got stopped at a red light. I wasn't really paying attention to much other than the radio, but then I realized that these two hot chicks in the car directly to the left and about 3/4 of a car length in front of me were giggling and looking back at me (or, perhaps, the car). The blonde one looked over her shoulder again and sent a coy wave my direction. I blew 'em a kiss. The light turned green, and like that..they were gone....
But still, what a great way to start the day, huh?

Embarrassed from stalling is the only thing I can recall, but that's gone now.

FYI for those saying they never had a flood problem, I didn't either for 14 months of ownership. Latest flash, warmup procedures etc. Basically you are doing no different then most so count your blessings because it could very well happen and it is very annoying to have a new car flood so easily when it finally did. Deflood procedure was worthless. Complacency may bite you one day.

i flooded once, my own stuidity, priming the turbo with oil and disconnect the spark plug wires to keep it from starting and messing up the turbo, but of course, flooded it like crazy. Mazda flood start did not work, so I took out only the leading plugs, cleaned them cause they were fouled like crazy, put them back in and did hte mazda start, started right up,
so I have never been embarassed by a flood cause that was in my garage at home.
