I wonder if it was stick. miatabich 10-21-2003, 10:54 PM lol i saw that too. and i bet it was. hmm.. wonder how much it'll go for with her sig on it. CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 02:12 AM I'd buy! CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 02:14 AM is this GOOD advertising? maybe... It's actually the most MAINSTREAM exposure the car has gotten... CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 02:14 AM Probably an automatic... I hear she doesn't like stick... ;) CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 02:15 AM Though she does look pretty happy... CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 02:16 AM Think someone should Zaino over that... CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 02:17 AM And look at those lines! (whoops... how'd that get in there?) CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 02:17 AM I guess the car wasn't the only marketing gimick in the video... CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 02:19 AM Sorry to expose you all to this, I know how she is regarded by most... :-) But it IS two of my favorite things together... the RX-8, and latently lesbian blondes.... mikeb 10-22-2003, 02:52 AM OMG great pics mikeb 10-22-2003, 02:52 AM All I can say is they wrote on the hood Elara 10-22-2003, 07:49 AM ACK!!!! NOoooo!! Get her away from the car!!! eclps0 10-22-2003, 08:12 AM any pic said7 10-22-2003, 08:18 AM Saw it last night pretty cool. Wonder how much mazda forked over for that plug. RobDickinson 10-22-2003, 08:24 AM Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa, talentles bimbo ruins car credibility, news at 11! As if formula women wasnt bad enough. zoom44 10-22-2003, 11:41 AM sunlight silver of course! i have to agree with crazifuzzy on this- madonna+ brittany spears+rx8= my kind of zoomzoom fun!

It had a manual transmission, and she downshifted into second gear at around 80 mph - blew it up real good! Regards, Gordon ranger4277 10-22-2003, 03:35 PM That is the second most effective method of tarnishing the image of the RX-8. Fortunately the RX-8 is immune to STDs and peer pressure. djmano 10-22-2003, 03:38 PM Originally posted by Gord96BRG Highly unlikely.

Regards, Gordon your telling me a 360 modena cant go 80 mph in 2nd gear? sorry if im mistaken, but i thought exotics have super overall long gearing, due to the fact that they must have super high top speeds to please those who are seeking expensive thrills. i knoe for a fact that the murciealgo can hit 60 in 1st gear......why couldnt the 360 hit 80 mph in 2nd? tribal azn2 10-22-2003, 04:04 PM Originally posted by Gord96BRG Highly unlikely.

Regards, Gordon yep, ended up costing like $25,000 to fix x-mobile 10-22-2003, 04:15 PM ahh...she's writing on the car!!:eek: ..thanks for the pics!! ELX13 10-22-2003, 04:25 PM how'd they get the fog's to not turn on with the headlights? speakin oh headlights... ;) zoom44 10-22-2003, 04:33 PM Originally posted by ELX13 how'd they get the fog's to not turn on with the headlights? speakin oh headlights... ;) rotated the switch on the left wand to "off" or "played with the wand until they went off" you decide ;) ZoomZoomH 10-22-2003, 04:35 PM can somebody TiVo that and host it up :D :D I miss my MTV!!! pmacwill 10-22-2003, 04:39 PM http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13197 better thread for this conversation (with pics) ELX13 10-22-2003, 05:31 PM Originally posted by zoom44 rotated the switch on the left wand to "off" or "played with the wand until they went off" you decide ;) i just checked for that switch and don't i feel dumb! this whole time (almost 3 months!) i thought the fogs turned on with the headlights using just the headlight part of the knob. :eek: (i guess i should RTFM!) ;) thnx zoom! (please don't flame me! i'm a fanatic owner...really i am!) CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 06:31 PM Originally posted by ZoomZoomH can somebody TiVo that and host it up :D :D I miss my MTV!!! I do have the video itself on VHS, but obviously, the quality isn't great (as seen from these stills)... My wife was watching the Making Of show last night and yelled to me that she saw a glimpse of an RX-8 during the "after the break" preview, so i ran out there, popped in a tape and recorded it... sorry... no TiVo... So all i got is a little bit of the making of (fortunately the car part) and the whole final video... I can try to bring the whole thing into an MPEG, but I'm not sure on how the quality would be, and I don't really have a good place to host it. But if someone is willing to host it up, i'll give it a shot... loco4rx8 10-22-2003, 06:50 PM No matter my regard (or lack thereof) for Britney, this is GREAT exposure for the RX-8. Every little kid and teenage will want one now. For those of us who want the car to sell well and do well, this sure can't hurt. Elara 10-22-2003, 07:09 PM I had three people come up today and tell me that my car was in the new Britney Spears video. I'm so humiliated. CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 07:34 PM I wouldn't be too embarrased... I highly doubt it was brittney's idea to have the car in the video... that deal was probably struck at the producer level... They probably told her about it, and she just kinda went... "OK.. whatever" Anyways, this is definately the most MAINSTREAM exposure the car has gotten, which is probably because now is the time they are probably going to start trying to ramp up the numbers they are selling... Can't let supply get higher than demand, that causes prices to drop.. :-) Zio 10-22-2003, 07:58 PM I doubt it was a stick. zoom44 10-22-2003, 08:16 PM it did have 18's, which i know are available on the low-power but ya never know. CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 10:39 PM Here is a link to a DivX .AVI file of the video, but i don't know how long my bandwidth will last, so if someone can host a mirror of it, that would be GREAT... The quality isn't bad considering I had to clean it up from a really bad VHS recording... you can at least get the jist of it, and you can see that it isn't exactly a GIRLY video... OK It's Working Now! Britney Spears - Me Against the Music (DivX).avi (http://home.comcast.net/~fuzzyrx-8/Britney_Spears_DivX.avi) CraziFuzzy 10-22-2003, 11:44 PM OK, the link should be working now! eccles 10-22-2003, 11:49 PM Originally posted by ZoomZoomH I miss my MTV!!! I miss the days when MTV actually played music videos! eccles 10-22-2003, 11:57 PM Originally posted by CraziFuzzy Here is a link to a DivX .AVI file of the video, but i don't know how long my bandwidth will last, so if someone can host a mirror of it, that would be GREAT... Done. http://www.snikte.net/RX-8/Britney_Spears_DivX.avi Haris 10-23-2003, 03:56 PM Why are people embarassed that their car was on TV in music video hit? This is weird. It's like saying I feel embarrased cause I have ferrari, and many movies and music videos have ferrari's. You should be proud of the accomplishments of the rx8, that producers of the video actually chose RX8 over many many other cars to be in the video... mikeb 10-23-2003, 08:05 PM Originally posted by eccles I miss the days when MTV actually played music videos! thats what mtv2 is for Blue87Sport 10-23-2003, 10:35 PM Wow, is that the sexiest body you've ever seen or what! I love that lean but curvy look. And talk about a great set of headlights. What? Brittany is in it too?;) MEGAREDS 10-23-2003, 10:41 PM The shot of the hood ornament settles it. I see where my $329 "advertising fee" went. P00Man 10-24-2003, 11:03 PM good add this to the fact that it was in a rap video and its good for everyone to buy, not just "crazy computer geeks that like bizzare gizmos" if you know what i mean, i forget who said it, but i think they said it best the rotory is kinda like macintosh ________ affair Webcams (http://www.girlcamfriend.com/webcam/housewives/) moogle 10-25-2003, 07:06 PM Originally posted by CraziFuzzy Sorry to expose you all to this, I know how she is regarded by most... :-) But it IS two of my favorite things together... the RX-8, and latently lesbian blondes....
