n00b here! Hi!
Wow this is strange! I've been a BMW owner for the past 6 years. Before that I owned two 84 Rx7's (one auto, one 5 spd) and a b2200. Last year we purchased a mazda 3 for the wife. This year I traded in the 540 for a rx8 (last saturday). So far I'm loving the car and since the email activation wasn't working i've had plenty of time to poke around the site and read up on a lot of useful information.
What's the strangest part is that i was on bimmerforums.com for 4 years and it's weird to not be there as a bmw owner. I hope my new home will entertain me as much as my last one!
Anyhoo, my car:
2004 Titanium Gray
Gt package
Navi
6spd
So far i'm loving it, here's a few pics i took the other day.
Sorry bout the lighting, I was so excited that I didn't want to wait for the sun to cooperate!
