04 VR RX-8 GT owner

Greetings,

First time rotary owner and love every minute of it. I've always had a fascination with the rotary engine and RX-7s. Then the RX-8 came out and almost 3 years ago I traded in my Mazda Protege 5. I have a family and thus the 4 door/seating capability was top priority. I could not think of a better, more unique and sporty car to own.

I've been part of a local Mazda club called NEPOC for 6 years. Great people, good fun, and lots of meets and events. We attend many car shows and this past year was the best as I took home 1st place in every show in Mazda class, all except one which I took 2nd. I may not have the most modded RX-8, but I take great care of my car and do all the work myself which as many of you know is great satisfaction.
