Thumbs up saw a red one at the dealership

I was driving by and I noticed it right away.

I love the way these cars look. I thought the black was beautiful, but the red is sweet looking too.

The navigation system was pretty nifty to dink around with, as well.

Anyway, I was talking to the dealer, and he started telling me the story about the x-men movie. "We aren't allowing test drives, because this car is very popular from being in the x-men movie, it was all done up and it was awesome"
I said "I thought it was an rx-7 they doctored up to look like an rx-8, and then an rx-8 shell with no engine in it" heh, at least that's the way I remember it. I can't seem to find that article anymore.

he says "No we work for mazda, man, we know our car! It was an rx-8."

I love dealers.

blah blah.

Exclamation oh

and it was the same dealer that let me test drive the other one earlier this week.

but after talking to them today, I felt bad for taking a test drive, because those were pre-order cars.

How is a dealer gonna let people test drive a car that you have been waiting for for 4 or 5 months?

that is a bunch of crapola.

Don't feel too bad; just because the car was ordered during the pre-order period, it doesn't mean it was ordered for a specific customer during that period; it may very well have been ordered for dealer stock.
