I've wanted a Yellow Mini Cooper for a while, and now at last... HEY!
:saywhat:

Ok, I love the Mini and making a choice between that and the RX8 was killing me because of the difference in price and practicality. But tonight all the stars aligned (2004 inventory, end of the month, rebates) and the dealer made us an offer on the RX8 that we couldn't refuse. So we're now proudly in possession of the last 2004 6 speed Lightening Yellow RX8 within 150 miles of Columbus. :D

Thats a very nice car. I have not driven one (yet)

It's alot more car than the Mini. Mazda is dealing eh? Mini dont deal, as you found out Im sure.

Very cool, like the color. Put some real thin blue lightning bolts down the side ala Shirl Greer

ford employee discounts work on those. ;)

And that car kicks a$$. fits like a glove, and watch how far that tach lets you rev. i wanted one bad. thing flies, and a great deal for the money, if you ask me.

anyway - you have a nice choice of color there too. :thumbup:

congrats.

Very Very Nice. Great color. :thumbup: I was really looking seriously at the Mazda 3 for my daughter, but I am opting for AWD for the East coast weather.

You sucka! :thumbup: RX8 rocks. IIRC, the RX8 won the big shootout deal on one of those car shows that TK hosts on Speed. A little low on low end torque (so the show said) but the rotary rev's rock when you wind 'er out. Great car and sorry about having to make the choice on the mini. Maybe grrl could get one of those next. ;)

Congrats and have fun! I envy big time.



Not much of a yellow car guy myself though. :saywhat:

I dig the yellow. Cool car nrc. Maybe Racegrrl will get the new Miata that's due out. :)

We share the cars, but this will be primarily his. When we first started looking, we drove the new Mazdaspeed Miata, but the RX8 felt more like our old Miata than the new Miata does. Since we both have an affinity for yellow cars this one was perfect. I'm a happy grrl. :)

Or maybe I'll throw an RX8 nose on my MX5!

that's a sweet pimping ride.. I sold my a4 cause it was causing problems and bought a geezermobile (2004 maxima sl) and am looking for a new car too.

Congratulations!

What a great car. I had a 3rd Gen RX-7, and had the stars line up a little better, I'd be driving an RX-8 now.

That's the best color I've seen on that car, good choice!
