I'm hungry. I wonder how quickly I can get out of here..

6 hours later.

I'm starving, I wonder if the salesguy's arm will taste good (after eating 6 bags of chips and 4 sodas that I had the dealership pay for)

I saw it, and thought "WOH!" I sat in it, and thought "WOH!" I drove it, and thought "WOW!!!!!!!!" It brought back all the memories of my previous two RX-7s. Nothin like a rotary. :D

But, I carefully compared it to several other cars, the two finalists being the 350Z and the G35 coupe. The '8 won out for both passion and practicality. Never looked back since.

My thought... Finally, after 22 years a chance to buy a rotary again. Hey it looks good.... I wonder how it performs....

Wow it looks really good.... It is a rotary... I wonder if is feels like my first gen...

*******************
From there it took me 4 months to buy it and at almost one month of ownership, I can't believe I waited 22 years to buy another rotary.

There is my car. :D
When my 8 was delivered to me, it was the first, (and still is) the only one in my little town. I drove around town the rest of the afternoon, with the biggest ****-eatin'-grin... :D taking in all the stares, and the pointing, and the questions everywhere I stopped.
I've had it since October.
I still do this.
I love this car!
DDD

"That's my car!"

I had placed an order on a Winning Blue RX-8 back in January last year, so when I finally saw the Winning Blue pre-production car at the Houston Rev-It-Up event in April, it was a wonderful confirmation of my decision.

Like some others, I too was going to buy a 350Z.
I happen to drive by the Mazda Dealership at lunch one day and they had an RX-8 parked out front.
That weekend I drove to the Dealership and walked into the showroom to get a good look at one and my heart just stopped.
I knew at that moment that owning an RX-8 would be my next mission in life.

One of the best moments of my life was when I drove MY RX-8 off the lot 4 months later. ( I had to order mine to get it the way I wanted )

First thought?

"Hmmmmm...that's a funky looking car but let me take a closer look"

Have you taken a look at the new Crossfire? I saw one today and thought the same thing. They do resemble each other if you squint your eyes a bit.

When I first saw the RX-8, I thought that it looked like sportscars of yesterday transported to 2004.

I first saw MINE yesterday after it came off the truck. I've been waiting 2 or 3 months, so I'm pretty used to sucking it up and just waiting for this day. That made it hard to get really freaked out when I saw it, but already, without even sitting in it yet, I can't stop grinning, and drove over again today just to look and take a couple more pics (it is still in the prep lot).

Now, I'm so anxious to take it home, I'm hanging out here on the forum just to give me enough fix to wait till Monday. I even thought about camping out next to the "baby" to keep it company overnight. Yeah, nuts.

Dang, what are they putting in the cars to have that effect? Some mysterious molecule called zoom-zoom...

must...
......hold........
.....on........ :D :D :D :D
