50 and getting younger .

Growing old is mandatory , growing up is optional.

A man is only as old as the women he feels , and i am feeling young .

Youth is wasted on the young and money is wasted on the old.

yea, my insurance company didn't know what the hell an RX8 was either... I think they looked at an 3rd gen RX7 (because the name sounded the same), then a Miata (because thats a sports car), and figured something between them :p

10-16-2003, 06:18 PM

I pay $1800 for a full year, but I had 2 claims in the past 3 years and I got 2 moving violation tickets this year.

I have the high $100,000 / $300,000 / $50,000 coverage with $500 deductible from AAA.

AAA rates the RX-8 as a "sedan" :-)
Needless to say, I'm happy.

24 here, pay $1283 for 2 cars every 6mo.

RX8 is $851 of that (includes discount from having LoJack) so $1700 a year with 100/300k Bodily Injury, 100k Property Damage, 5k Medical 100/300k Uninsured Motorist..

not bad considering I totaled a car less than a year ago (my poor Z :()

Geico wanted ~1600 every 6/mo just for the RX8 and a ton for my Eclipse which had libility only with them (i totaled the Z with them) so i moved to 21st Century Insurance and now have full coverage at the amounts above + 5k of additional equiptment insurance on the eclipse for the $1283/6mo

I guess Geico just doesn't like RX8's...they overcharged me as well, so I switched. Geico originally quoted me at $1600 every 6 mos for the RX8 as well, but then later told me it'd be $2400. Those bastards!

Anyways, i forgot to mention that i also have a house,boat,Honda prelude,01 dakota all insured through Geico. I'm guessing that i am getting a killer discount because of this.
from what i have learned it pays to put everything under the same insurance carrier.

Yes, definitely getting a killer discount...wow that must be nice. The more vehicles you carry under one insurance provider the less you pay, typically, because you can't drive all of the vehicles at the same time =P. That's my theory anyways. If you're in the boat...the RX8, prelude are safe...if you're in the rx8, the boat, house, prelude are safe, etc etc.

I was expecting to see RX-8 owners mostly in their 20's at SevenStock this year but the majority were in their 40's and some in the 50 range.

Yet based on the replies here, the owners are mostly in their 20's.

I think it might be possible that most 40-50 range owners do not spend any or much time surfing here.

Anyway, I am 43 and pay about $1,200/year for insurance in California for the RX-8.

SpacerX

10-19-2003, 02:20 PM

That's an interesting observation, RP, and a reasonable correlation between surfing and 40-somethings.

I suggested in another thread (very complimentary to this one, BTW -- Owner, Know Thyself (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12023)) that, IMO, the RX-8 seems more geared toward "Gen-X" drivers (ages from late twenties to early forties, probably), as opposed to "Gen-Y" drivers (teens and early twenties), for which cars like the Neon SRT4, Evo VIII, and WRX/STi will be more appealing, generally speaking. Of course, individual tastes will vary...

It would be interesting to learn what sorts of demographic and market assumptions went into Mazda's calculus for the final design...

I really don't mind if the majority of RX-8 drivers are 18 or 55. I have always enjoyed cars for what they are, demographics are unimportant.

This is a great car and if an 18 year old can enjoy it as much as me (43 years old), hey that tell me Mazda engineers made a cool car for everyone.

Jhouse

10-20-2003, 03:45 PM

oosik, i'm affraid you wont know the meaning of wrong until you get your first insurance bill. Since you are only 15 you are going to be a prime target for the insurance companies.

Lets put it this way. You are going to be sort of like those guys that own the Ferrari or Lambo or even a Viper and your insurance payment is more than your car payment.

Something you might want to consider is having your mom be noted as the primary driver. I am not trying to knock on you but seriously @15 you are going to be getting nailed on insurance.

P.S. But obciously if you are 15 nad can actually afford this car then you must have the income to pay for the insurance.

Jhouse

10-21-2003, 09:54 AM

Have any of you with multiple cars ever considered telling your insurance company that you only drive the thing on occassion like maybe a few thousand miles per year. this really helps your rate go down. Also if you are married put your wife as the primary occasional driver. FEMALES still get the best damn rates.

Elara

10-21-2003, 10:34 AM

Also helps if you raise your deductible. I raised ours from $200 to $500, and it dropped our insurance from $1,800 for my husband & myself on a '93 325i and the 8, to $1480 a year.

Jhouse

If you say your Parents bought it for you or they are the actual owners, Im gonna be jealous. I was driving around in an 84' Chevy Celebrity when I was in school and I felt lucky to even have a car.

375 Years / 11 Age Posts = Average Age Of 34.
Yes... I did pass general math in the public school system!

I expected that the average age would be about 36... but I did not account for the younger professionals (Drug Dealers ;)) and the wealthy kiddlings that mommy & daddy h00ked up! [Just kiddin don't chuck yer Lego’s at me]!!!
Not all of us are like that. I want to be able to say that the cool car I own, is mine. I could prolly get my dad to help me out via helping me with money, but the only help i'm asking from his is for getting the discount he gets from ford owned car companys. IMO, a lot (not all) of people that their parents buy their car, don't respect it as much. They know if something happens, the parents will fix it. I know someone that's had 3 cars, that are between $25k and $35k, within 3 years because he didn't like the first two cars as much as the 3rd one.

i like that, "board mom". Board mom, im going through a rough time: My girlfriend broke up with me because she thought things were getting serious too fast, yet im still talking to her all the time, and still going to see her for the long weekend (first time at her parents house). She keeps insisting on just being friends but im not sure that she's sure, im very confused and conflicted. Help mom, i need to know why women act like this!

Well, if I could explain why women act like they do, I'd be one wealthy woman as a result of all the books and talk-show appearances I would be doing! Some women need alot of space, usually as a result of past mistakes or what they've seen their friends go through. Some are afraid of serious commitment because they believe in the sanctity of monogamous relationships. All I can tell you to do is ease off without whining or outwardly showing your disappointment. Be sweet and attentive this weekend without smothering her, and after the weekend is over, become a little less "available". Do things with your friends, don't call her as often, think more about Feras and less about whats-her-name. If she senses the change, one of two things will happen: she'll either take the out and move on, or start showing more interest. Kind of a tough love situation, but the only solution I see. Good luck, Feras, and I hope the weekend goes well.

So you're 18 and own two tattoo parlors...where did you get the money to start those? did you just grow the money on trees? i'd like one of those trees if so..

and was it really necessary to put, "yea i didnt pass spelling class in school but its alright cuz im sure im aking more then most people on this forum no pun intended ?" I mean, who cares how much you make, and how much other people make on here...geeze..you give teenagers a bad name.

Well morgan ... The money did not grow on trees so ... sorry cant give you one .. But i first started getting into tattoos b/c i have always loved them .. So how did i get into doing it .. i started when i was 15 learning how to pierce . from there i started to tattoo ... when i was 15 in 10thgrade i was in work realese where you get out of school at 10:10 and goto work ... you can only do that if you ahve the needed credits i did ... and yes i passed spelling i jsut suck at it .....(morgan) ..So from there till now comes money then the two shops ..... and the reason i talk about money is b/c people have said how much they owe on there 8 so i was just letting people know cuz damn right im proud of it .... And accually it makes us teenagers look good when im 18 and own two buisnesses ... and make a hell of alot of money ..... now many 30 year old can sya that for them selfs .... But anyhow ... here are some pics of my 8 and the gucci interior .... and also a pic of a tattoo i did earlier today and also a piercing that i did i while back sorry about the pic of the tattoo it is poor quility ;)

Thank you by the way phee

1846 Years / 61 Age Posts = Average Age Of 30

That was my best figuring with all the non direct posts. And also assuming that Phee is like 100 :) just kiddin 34! So I am guessing in total the average age of an 8 owner is between 30 and 32, NOT 36 as I suspected.61 isn't enough of a sample to be conclusive and even if we get 2000 responses here, it may be skewed (the average rx8club driver may be younger than the average driver not on the board).

I think it's more marketing to the kid in us, the "Zoom, Zoom, every kid knows it." thing Mazda puts out. So, I'd agree, 30 is about right, which justifies the pricing also, IMO. Just look at the little things thread, people (me included) are talking about the car like we just got a brand new set of Legos or a Red Rider BB Gun. :)

BTW, when I get in the car, I do feel younger, right around 30. :)
