Just drove home my new 8!
After long deliberation and a month of car shopping, I finally bought an RX-8!

Brand new 2006 Sunlight Silver, manual transmission, Grand Touring package with black leather interior. The car is so ridiculously gorgeous... I have had a huge smile on my face all evening.

It's been a blast to drive already. Thanks to this forum for providing all sorts of invaluable information. The "Little Things" thread should be shown to all people who are in the market for a sports car. It really shows all the great parts of the car.

Love, love, love, love it!

I've changed my custom user title to reflect this pertinent information.

Also, I will post pics here (and in the "calling all sunlight silvers" thread) soon!

Nice 8! I recommend throwing a spoiler on there, if you can afford it. My personal opinion that the spoiler really is essential to increase the look of the car.

Other than that, enjoy! It's a blast to drive......you'll never get sick of it (I sure haven't)
