I got my baby!!!!!!!!
Woooohooooo!! Add another Winning Blue to the US roads. 
Had the opportunity to drive it for 150 miles today....and was it sweet. Loved the looks I was getting from other cars! :D I'll post pics in the other forum as soon as I take some.
The sales guy admitted that I knew more than him about the 8! hehehe Gotta thank the RX8 forums for that! The dealer was great. They even ordered a new pair of fender strakes cause the ones they had installed were crooked. So I had them mount it but didn't take the double tape out because the one of the lower strakes is not hugging the body. Will follow the DIY on installing in the DIY forum. So I already have a project for this weekend.. hehe Ok talking too fast, too excited..... gotta calm down. Maybe a spin in my 8 :D or maybe not :p

The cops will tell you it's not. :o Hehe. I was pulled-over for the first time in 18 years, that was about 1 month after getting mine. Just a warning though. Whew!

Yeah, and I couldn't use the cruise since I was trying to follow the break-in rules in the manual. Can I complain about mileage now since I own a 8? :D hehehehe I'm going to hide now.

Congratu F'ing lations! I am glad that you now are TRULY a member of the club. :D <--- See that smile? This will be you every time you get out of your car after driving it, every time you park it and look back at it, every time you walk towards it to get in it and every time you open your garage door and mavel at it's beauty. Dude! Your face is going to hurt for a while due to smiling all the time. Don't worry, your facial muscles will get used to it! Have fun, stay safe and ENJOY! :D
