Now I belong
I just got my RX-8 from the dealership on Friday. After reading this site for 3 months and scouring the differences on all the other cars I wanted I decided on the RX-8. I am so glad I did. This car is fast... like... unethical fast... I had a friend who works at the dealership, and he helped me get a deal on a late model 05 with 7k miles. Touring edition w/ Pearl exterior, with custom leather interior of my choice (haven't decided yet, thinking two tone of pearl/bone, black/pearl, or black/doeskin, colors from katzkin.com the dealer's leather people), also having the icelink thing put in by the dealer, got fleet pricing on the signature finish, lojack, extended warranty till for 7 years or 75k mi. and it is one of my most satisfying purchases. Thanks to everyone's help here on the site in making my decision!

What's nice about our cars, is that unlike Evo's or WRX's, it is not a three box family sedan with a stiffer suspension pieces- it is purpose built from a clean sheet of paper (not that they use paper anymore) to be what it is. I can drive pretty much what I like. This car fits ME- and I really don't care what the timing slips say.
