Hey kids!

Finally stopped being lazy and decided to post here. I've been driving Mazda's almost exclusively since I was old enough to drive. I started off with a Mazda B2000 Pickup truck, had a stint with an '81 Toyota Celica Hatchback, and an '89 Chrysler LeBaron. After that I moved on to Miata's. I've had a '90, '91 and '92. Now I have a '92 Miata and an '05 RX8 Shinka. Mada's have always been reliable and fun to drive, so it was a natural progression. I also own a '48 Willy's that is in need of a rebuild.

So far I have been to one meet with this club, and I must say I am alot more happy with it then with other meetups I have gone to. I like the sense of "family". Everyone here seems to be a lot closer, and people don't mind if you ask questions, unlike rx8club.com. I got a lot of good ideas at the meet and found some new projects for my 8 that I hope to venture into.

I plan on attending as many meets and functions as I can, and thanks for the opportunity to be in a great club! So far I don't see a "my model is better than your model" attitude, it is all about the Mazda's!

Welcome, you will continue to love this group more and more.. they are always willing to drop everything to help out another "mazda member"
It was nice to "meet" you at the rx8 gathering.. I was the 3 hatch... even though we didnt get to talk, you have an awesome car there!

I really like that color.

Welcome
And Ditto on the color. That black cherry is the hottest color Mazda makes.
I almost talked my wife into getting a Shinka Edition Black Cherry RX8. Obviously you got better taste than her. Her loss.
