I would still like an RX8 some day, but a friend of mine made it obvious that the majority of RX8 owners in his Metro are female... I was like no way.... sure enough I've noticed prolly 1/2 to 2/3 of the ones I happen to see are chix.... so are RX8s becoming chic cars or what.... anybody else notice this saddening truth... for me even more of a reason to not buy a used one, enuff rotary ignorant owners out ther as it is. :banghead:

You are sexist!

if its a chicks car thus meaning they love it
ergo... buy one and they'll love you

The majority of them drives AT. :)
Also, same thing to be said about the Scion tC, Toyota Celica, and the Mazda Miata... they all seem like chick cars to me.

Rx-8 chick car? wtf?

seems like the girls LOVE it, I dont see that many driving it (wish there was more XD)

I must agree with the OP though, the RX-8 really seems like a chick car.

This is my lady friend trying to steal my ride:

As you can see, a chick looks alot better in an 8. :)

Chicks like my car... so I would say yes - it is a chick car.

Your reasoning is beyond mine. :p:

Your reasoning is above reproach. You may be the smartest man alive; maybe the smartest person in history :p:

.....but IMHO the more girls who drive this car the better!

lol its not a "chix" car. A Miata can be considered one i guess. But the whole chick car thing came up in the muscle car era didn't it? so if u drove an econo box it was a chick car.... now a days it isnt so cut and dry.

If it's a chix car then why are the club meets sausage fests?

chick magnet maybe

< Speaking of being a chick magnet, there's one stuck on my hood.

^^^No doubt! i wish more ladies would get they asses in an 8 and partake in the meets.

Where are all these "chick" 8 owners?? I have seen 2 in my lifetime (in person). Other than the few on this site, i just havent witnessed any evidence to support any claim of the 8 being owned by a marginal number of females.

IMO there is 1 reason and 1 reason only why any mention of the 8 as being a chick car and that is because of FF: Tokyo Drift. This movie gave the haters a reason to put that "label" on the car.

Lot of Chix drive "8's" around were I live. -I think its time for me to break out that Ford Pinto stashed in my garaged.

No, the RX-8 has become a car for ignorant 17 to 21 year olds who buy it off a used lot because "it looks cool".

hey, im not ignorant. much. anymore. and i didnt buy it cause it looked cool

It's been a chicks car. Honestly, 3/4 of the RX8s i bump into on the streets are driven by girls/women. Hell, my mom is looking for an AT RX8 right now.

I've only seen one female rx8 driver at the meet..............and she was kinda insane........and drives a stick, and can't reverse park.............

Become? No more than it has ever been... I've always seen a pretty good percentage of RX-8s on the road driven by females. However, that doesn't make it a chick car in the same sense that the Jetta or Beetle is a chick car. However, the argument could be made that an AT RX-8 is a chick car in the same way an Eclipse GS might be a chick car but a GSX is not.

We havea few female RX8 drivers locally. Most of them do not even know what the car is, and they drive autos. The women who drive 6-speed RX's are a little more in to their cars, and will usually recognize other 8's on the road.

In my area I have seen about 15 other RX8's around, only 3 have had female drivers, and only 1 of those women was a car enthusiast.

False about the 6speed comment. I drive AT-6 and notice every other 8 out there...even say hi or thumbs up to all...

Oh...BTW...yeah the MazdaSpeed rims, spoiler and MSBumper is a chicks car...

Then please move out here. The only women I see driving 8's will never notice another 8 even when sitting next to eachother at a light. If you try to say HI they turn away as if you are a stalker. ( I am stalking the car, not the driver)

Today I went to the mall before work and there was another 8 parked with a parking spot right next to it. I parked right beside it and the store I had to go to was all the way at the other end of the mall...go figure...

Has the RX8 become a chix car?

I think its 50/50. Where I live, every day I see more and more Girls driving RX-8's

So you adding a bunch of show and no go makes it less of a chick car?:dunno:

most of the rx8s i see on the road seem to be driven by females. But this is hardly a scientific way of calculating, so it means absolutely nothing.

That's due to the fact that all you do see is skirts and boobs.

chics like the car,,,,yes. Better than guys likening it.

In that case....any pics of ur mom????:dunno:

... for me even more of a reason to not buy a used one, enuff rotary ignorant owners out ther as it is. :banghead:

yeah, better not buy one. we dont need another ignorant owner.

I didnt bother reading this whole thread but I will say I cant believe the mods let you get away with some of the STUPID crap on here. Just because we are female dosent mean we are ignorant rotary owners. I probably know more about my car than half the guys who own them.... And mines a manual, imagine that! Lil ole' me driving a car with one of those shifter thingies!

I am an 8 stalker to BTW, I always wave and get no response... Today a girl was right in front of me in a VR and acted like she didnt notice me...:icon_no2: She was not feeling the zoom zoom... I have gone up to 3 guys in 8's and told them about the forums, they where all really nice.

Women account for more than 50% of the population, If this same principle applied to car ownership, more than 50% of rx8's owned are by females. Hence by majority, its a chick car.

i swear i've outlined this before?

Thats when you get beside them and drop it down a gear, jump up to 8k or so and leave em in the dust....bet they notice you now!.....dam prudes

[QUOTE=lol its not a "chix" car. A Miata can be considered one i guess.[/QUOTE]

I never understood why a Miata is considered a "chix" car, because so many are raced and autocrossed, and the reputation started when they were all manual ragtops. Still, I enjoyed a scene on a 1996 TV show where some guys were looking under the hood of a Porsche 944. A young kid said that Miatas were nice, too. The self-appointed expert said Miatas are chick cars, and the kid looked surprised. "Didn't you know? When you by one of those, the dealer gives you a gallon jug of perfume."

Nothing wrong with some girls having good taste. :dunno:
More girls = more female members here. Otherwise it be a sausage fest. :)

Well my gf can drive a stick and she occasionally drives my 8 when her civic si is low on gas. She gets really pissed when people assume she cant drive a stick.
The salesman that sold her her si made a comment about the si being a stick. I almost laughed out loud because i knew she was pissed.

yeah, better not buy one. we dont need another ignorant owner.

I've been up n down with rotary a ton man so no need to assume anything here... heck it'd be like me assuming your some thumb sucking mama's boy that was given an RX8 cause you went a week without pissing your bed... so don't go assuming you know whom your talking about. I was merely starting a peaceful thread to bring peeps together from all over the world to state there input on how many guys vs girls they bump into driving an RX8... because I was impressed by what I noticed in my town.

Well I certainly didn't say all female RX8 owners were rotary ignorant, but I wouldn't doubt there's a lot of them that are... like the ones I've heard about not filling the oil and thus burning up the motor. And if they don't even recognize another RX8 when they see one, what makes you think they know the basics of rotary engines. Believe me there's plenty of guys that are rotary ingorant too, saw an RX8 with a toasted motor due to lack of oil come caused by a guy.

This thread is a complete waste of time.. I see *chix* driving Camaros all the time... Add that to the list.. Another thing is *chix* driving big ol' lifted trucks.. Damn, add trucks to the list..

Holy cow, there are ignorant people buying cars everywhere.. My girlfriend & I own our RX8 and pretty much everytime we are in the shop working on it, she tosses on her dirty jeans & gets right under the car..

i have yet to see a woman driving an 8 in mobile, al.........so far ive see 2 old guys(40-50) and an asian.........no women though

Hmm Ive owned my RX8 since 2004... Ive done extensive modifications.. I have taken it out around skidpan and track the car along with a lot of the rx8 boys down here.. I never thought of it as a chicks car considering I am generally the only chick driver at cruises and stuff..........

If any guys think this is a chicks car I will just assume they are insecure about their manhood.

I think so, it's not really a very good penis extension if it is one. Or is it?

If it's a chix car then why are the club meets sausage fests?

Thats hilarious... lol Its also like that on forum.. and once theres few females on here look out if they are single.. :uhh:

That's due to the fact that all you do see is skirts and boobs.

:lol2:

The other 8 in my town is driven by a women, it is a auto though.

ohhhh c'mon Rasp, now thats not what you meant w/ your post so dont try to spin it. Ur intentions were evident by you saying "...anyone else notice this saddening truth?" regarding the 8 being driven by alot of "chix". That was what you said and is how you feel, so stick to it.

FYI, You will get more respect on this forum if you man up to what you say, even whether or not it is a bit offensive to certain members.

I can see the stupidity seeping thru my screen at some of these respsonses.......Damn this shit is messy too....

Hey - I was just being honest.......

Correction, you meant fat ugly redneck female sub-species that goes by the name of Norma Jean. :lol:

blah...blah...blah.

are you still talking?

Retarded thread, retarded comments. This site's going to shit.

retarded post above mine^^

anyways on topic, I own the only rx-8 in my city (20,000), so I can't say anything here, but every time I go to a real city, I hardly even see them, and when I do it's driven by an older guy.... wish I could see some chicks so I'd have an easy in :)

I'm not going to try and define "chick car". There's no point in it since definitions vary so much from person to person.

To your average person, no I wouldn't say the rx8 is a chick car.

To your average car enthusiast, the rx8 is definitely a chick car.

When I sold my 8, practically everyone in my local car clubs told me they were glad I didn't have a girl car anymore. Keep in mind that there is no bias between import, domestic, autocross, drag racing, drifting, etc in these clubs. I would always ask why they would say that. Their responses would always go something like this: "The rx8 is cute and slow. It should come with a lipstick compartment."

LOLOLOL!!!!

You are so cool for doing that... I envy your husband for having such a cool wife!

That compartment would have come in handy for all da Ho's i be slingin. Know what i sayin Slay dog??? ....oh wait, no you dont cuz you and your Nerd Herd are prob too busy greasing each other up at your weekly Saturday night meets.:yesnod:

Haha, no need to attack me for the opinions of others. I think it should be obvious that I like 8's considering I chose to own one. ;)

Your right, that was uncalled for. Taking a personal shot at you is not the correct course of action. Sometimes when i dont agree w/ something someone says or how they say it, i feel i have to demean them personally in some way and that is wrong. I am working on that.

I always thought the Honda was a chicks car. Like the 98 99 looking models lol

i have a VR and my boss always tells me its a chick car, and i ask why, he says it looks like a Barbie car,cause it looks pink and cute, i wish my name was ken.... still i love my 8 and would never trade it in for anything else.

every car is a chick car........unless u kill off all the chicks
