grats on the new purchase, awsome car, though one thing you should look into is make sure it had the recall work done, they recently had a massive recall to replace the motor mounts, apparently the car has too much torque and breaks them.
You know what this means right? you cant bash on the 8 anymore, cause you've got the baby of the family, respect your elders.
Also, take that thing to an autocross and test out the handling, it has a very good suspension on it, that what mazda is good at, so be proud of it, cause that is an amazing car there.
Grats!
