You know you're an RX-8 owner if:

-you're not single

-you have a family

-you're claustrophobic

-you love the rotary engine

Or if you just own RX8, most people consider you an "RX8 OWNER"!

You are crazy thinking about this car....even after you take delivery.
You enjoy attention.
You are unique and like to be different.
You are creative and intelligent.
You are good looking and hip even after you have kids!!!

The whole supposed "torque issue" doesn't bother you.

You know your an owner when you get out of the car with a hot chick next to you, and as your walking away form it you keep looking back at your 8 and not the girl!:D

And its completly obvious that your an owner when you get caught hugging your car by your girlfriend or wife.... :p

And all of the rest above....

IF...

After you put your baby daughter down to sleep, you go out to the garage to spend some quality time with the 8.

I do this every night. ;o)

.....you turn heads like there is no tomorrow

.....the guy in the new 350z or M3 is jocking your ride (not a flame statement in anyway shape or sort)

......your workplace has lots of mirrors that allow you to see your car while you are at work, and you get in trouble from your boss for staring at your own car too damn much

......you shift just for the pure joy of feeling the short throw shifter snick into gear

.......you feel like you can conquer any twisty path with your superior suspension

last but not least.........you feel like your heart doesn't beat anymore.....it spins like a rotor.

You drive slowly along the city streets when its quiet so you can see your 8's reflection from the glass panes of office or shop fronts...

That is so true. And the one about looking back when walking with a hot girl, that is also true. Good thread.

you drive in the left lane a little close to the median wall to accentuate the rotary note coming from your car

pmacwill
10-20-2003, 12:19 PM
when the girl complains "it does feel sometimes like we spend a lot of time talking about your job and your car and your friends and your trips and your dogs and your new clothes"

but you really know what she meant was "you talk about your car too much"

You know you're an RX8 lover if.......

Part of your daily hygiene involves making certain your 8 is perfectly clean before you brush you teeth.

You keep a constant eye on the weather when you 8 isn't parked safely at home.

Your ring up the service department to ask then how your 8 is when it's only in for a standard service.

Your mental shopping list for polishing cloths, wax and tyre shine is more deeply engraved than the normal bread, link, eggs and o/j.

You spend more time thinking about the next accessory you're going to buy for your 8 than you do about the kids christmas presents.

You daydream about nice locations and backdrops to take artistic pictures of your eight.

The only better car you can think of is an Aston Martin - and they're a stupid price anyway!!!

you know your an 8 owner if you have slept in your car...

you know your an 8 owner if you wash your car 2-3 times a week

you know your an 8 owner if you have a baby photo album just for your car

If...

* You only heard of Zaino once you bought one.
*All RX-7 drivers hover around and wave at you when you're driving it.
*All RX-8 drivers hover around you, just to hear the tune of 2 RX-8's mufflers reverberate against each other.
*All BMW drivers cut in front of you to show they're better than you, but really they just feel insecure.
*All 350Z drivers just ignore you because they sold their RX-8s to get one.
*Everyone else says, "damn, nice car!"
