The local dealer a mile from my house has 4 rx8s on display. I

drove one

yesterday. All of them are stick, one red, 2 yellow, 1 gray. They want
$3000 over list, all of them were $36000, all had GT packages.....nice
but too pricy. My wife liked em, but she is not ready to turn in her 94
rx7 for a 4 door yet. One of the stupidest things is putting the front
license plate front & center of the air intake! Hope most of the air
comes from beneath,,,,,

I ordered mine back in January, before the dealers started upping the MSRP.
Got it for sticker price! My dealer is now asking $1000 over sticker for
them. I still owe $26,700 (plus tax) after a $500 down payment. Reasonable,
I believe .. (and I'm a miser!)

And mounting it below that, it'll drag on my driveway when I turn in
(uphill, and over the rain gutter in the street).  I mentioned this to my
dealer and he said there is a form I can sign and they won't install a front
plate (of course, that's to protect them, and not to make it legal! <G>).

But, I'm going to sign it...I think I have enough ammunition from Paul's
list here to defend not having the plate over the grill if I ever have to
defend my choice to a cop.

They let me keep it overnight ... still not prepped <G>.  It had a relaxing
night sleeping in my garage <G>

Where do you live Harley? Maybe some of us might like to go there and get
a good price. Hinge the license plate so it bends back out of the way
of the air going in the rad opening at speed. When stopped the cooling fan does
not suck enough air to move it.
