Hmmm.....
Maybe he's getting ready to post his car FOR SALE on Ebay. Let's see.... the first RX-8 delivered in the U.S. could probably ****** up at least a 10 grand premium for some collector looking for bragging rights.... yea... that's it... that's the ticket....
NOT!!! likely :p
Have fun!!

Have fun with that car! It's good news to us all, to hear the RX-8 has finally arrived.
I've been so wrapped up in this whole thing, I thought I saw the rear of one about four blocks away today. I think the only remedy for these hallucinations will be to get my own!

Hey guys, thanks for all of the congrats - it's a little overwhelming...
I am heading down to a big car show in the early hours of the morning. I have only been able to drive the car about 30 miles or so - pure heaven. In about five hours I will be heading down to the Baxter's Portland Historics at Portland International Raceway, where RPNW will have the RX-8 and 19 other rotary cars on display - along with about 500 plus other cars. I plan on keeping my thoughts written down and will post something Sunday evening when I return. In short, I offer the following initial thoughts:
1. Wow!!!
2. Yes indeed, it is even more stunning in person than any photograph!!!
3. I am a rock star - everywhere I have gone today I am a celebrity!!!
4. Smooth, smooth, smooth!!!
5. Mazda has nailed it!!!
They kept saying "You won't be disappointed," and I definitely am not.

So how's the stereo in that thing?
I am very curious about the noise reduction system that Bose puts out (similar to their noise canceling technology used in airplane headsets) equiped in the RX-8.
Did you notice a difference?
...must have been a sweet afternoon!

So while one measures the noise outside the listening space (the headset) and outputs audio program + "antinoise", the other measures the total audio inside the listening space (audio program + noise), determines the noise component by subtracting the audio program, and adjusts the audio program level to maintain a given signal-to-noise ratio.
Clear as mud?
