Green? I can't even picture that, don't remember seeing a green RX8 ever. Mine is Red. You know where Memorial pkwy and Hollywood blvd intersect? I'm a few houses south on Memorial. I saw a blue one yesterday with the plate "RX8 U P"...lol
I went to UWF too but graduated in '07. I was in Pensacola today, so I was going to go to Bayfront tonight but forgot. Do people still go down there? or just Burger King on nine mile?
Here she is...

I love them. But I can see how people could hate them with exaggerated side/hip bolsters and no height adjustment. I get in carefully so I don't crunch the left bolster over time. They really hold you in there, and I like.
I would say go to the dealer and try them out, but FWB doesn't have any RX8s, let alone R3s. Pcola should still have two R3s. If you see me around, honk. I've only passed 3 RX8s in FWB since I got mine.
Are you, or anybody else going to the car show at the Armament Museum next Saturday? I entered the DeLorean in it last year, but this year I'll just go as a visitor.

i haven't heard anything about it, but i'm going to be out of town, so i won't be there. but when i was in orlando i sat in an R3 and i loved the seats as well, i just sat in it and the lady working there got all pissed off and came out there hassling me. i told her i had an '04 and she asked if i had messed it up or something. rude people i swear, but yea i'm curious to see what it's like driving. i tested a new one in fwb, just not the R3. it was a grey one, but that was a while back ago. sounds a little beefier.

Quality Imports only had one 2009 that I know of, it was silver and was sitting on their lot for almost a year. I sat in it too. I guess its the reason they gave up on the RX8s all together. It was a sport model, automatic
.Still haven't seen any green RX8s around. I'd like to do a swap test-drive...I wanna see how the pre-09s compare. I just hit 1,000 miles in mine...aww, and received my quart of Idemitsu premix that I'm gonna try out for a while.

I was at Sandy Sansing on Oct 2nd about to buy the black R3 they had. Yours was sitting right next to it. They didn't come off the price enough so I went to Dean McCrary Mazda in Mobile and bought a red R3. I haven't seen any R3s besides my own since. And only one '09 at all, it was a white sport model. These little cars are rare.

I sent you a link to read to start down the road; there is another boosted 8 in Eglin area; I started tuning it when I was in PC for 1st Class School.
I tend to get back down in that area once every year or two - who knows I may be back again when you're shopping.
