Talking Finally an RX

Hi all, Just joined and picked up a new 06 Gal.gray Shinka(?) with Aero pack. and wing. I have wanted one since them first came out in the 70s. I was stationed in Japan and read all about them. As soon as I got back to the US they were starting to arrive at the dealers. Put down $500 and waited over 6 months but never got one. I wanted it at MSRP. Never stopped reading about and wanting one.

Others cars in the mean time included an Audi TT, C5, Mach 1, mustang GT, VW Passat, Nissan Altima Ser( traded in on RX8 ), Nissan nx2000, Impala and Monty SS,Datsun 280z, 3 VW Sricocco's,and on and on.

Im very so glad I found this forum. Having found this place I felt comfortable getting the car. Its so nice having a place to lean and share the RX8 experience.

The car had 24 mile in the showroom and now has 75. Order parts from Rosenthal Mazda which I found here and saved a lot cash.
Again thanks for being here.
In the Canton, Oh area, don't plan on driving the car in snow or rain. Got a B3000 for that.
