Who doesn't love a good haiku? It's poetry that doesn't rhyme, all you have to to write one is be able to count! Any idiot can write one, but there are masterpieces such as:

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death
No one hears your screams.


So, here is the RX-8 haiku thread!!! For those of you who don't know the basic rules of a Haiku, it is a three line poem. The first line must have 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. The third has 5 syllables. And that's it. If we wanted to get technical there is supposed to be a reference to the weather/season in there somewhere, but let's not worry about that! Bring on your best haiku!

Some submissions to get the ball rolling:

I don't care about
What Z owners say to me
I love my new car.


Unlike the piston
Rotary engine is good
Hear that baby scream.


Runs the quarter mile
In about fourteen seconds
Fast enough for me.


Unlike some others
My RX-8 goes quickly
With nice interior.


Bring on the haikus!

The Cartalk guys (Click and Clack) did a feature on automotive Haiku a while back. They published a bunch on their website:

Here's mine. Not specific to an RX-8, but I'm sure we can all relate:

Glistening like new
Fresh wax job like a beacon...
Birds perfect their aim.

LOL. Birds perfect their aim. That is a classic.

Mazda RX-8:
Dyno says it is a dog,
but we know better.

Small pools of water
Dancing right before your eyes
Please don't crash your car.

Freestyle doors are great
They want to give you a hug
Just give it a spin


My inside has three
You know you can't go without
I'll give you great joy

WRX:
Faster than my RX-8
Looks like dog vomit.

Simple solution:
First, rob a federal bank
Step two: buy the car.
