Tribal, LOL, I appreciate the candor! The link actually works now. Hey we got our Ti GTs the same day, does that mean we are bruddahs now?
Lucky for you, OC is F-L-A-T. Else you'll be needing that handbrake to hold the car on a hill. LA for that matter is pretty flat too, though Cienega and Sunset might be a little tricky, good place to practice the handbrake/clutch-out maneuver.
No matter, enjoy the car dude! I expect a lot of regulars here to disappear for a bit once their cars arrive.

Great picture Tribal - I'm in love with the Titanium again (was thinking of changing to the red.)
Must be weird having never driven a manual - I can imagine the prospect made you pretty nervous at first.
Enjoy the car!:D

I don't mind telling you my shifting and clutch work was far from professional race driver quality on the way home from the dealership. We'll be working on it tomorrow. We're in our sixties, so it will be strange to see some gray heads through the window of an RX-8. What the heck, life is short!

Congrats 2 u. Kudos for buying the manual tranny with little experience. By the time you read this reply, you will probably be an excellent shifter. After a while, you shift gears without thinking . . . it becomes second nature to you. ENJOY!!
