It took mine a little over 2 months to get repaired... was the other person's fault and they never reported their side of the story so the insurance company couldn't determine who was at fault until 1 month after the incident.

I did nothing with my 8 today. I handed her over to her new owner on Saturday

I used to polish my 8 once a month back when it was my daily driver.
monthly zaino would normally just consist of 2 or 3 coats of Z2/Z5. I usually clay bar once a year before SS

WTBRotary: unfortunately there is no such thing as a "quick" zaino treatment

Rotary-RX8: now a days I zaino it 5 or 6 times a year considering I only drive my 8 on the weekends these days.
No new pics but I'm sure we'll get plenty of pics at GreddyFest this coming Sunday.

Hmm, tried to find someone who is selling their RB exhaust and drove to work. I walked out a few times to admire its sexiness and then drove it home.
