I had my wife take a video of me at the track. The car looked sick going into the corners, the best purchase I ever made.

Looking at my 8 in a dynamic reflection is parallel to the pleasure of watching yourself and your partner 'doin' it" in a mirror as long as your partner is as hot as the 8.

There are tinted windows at the top of the parking garage where I work. When I go by them, I am making a sharp left turn into the parking space and get an awesome view of the right front 5-spoke factory 18" spinning slowly into the front wheelwell. It rocks.

Sneaking a peak

Guilty as charged. I'm always trying to sneak a peek of the 8's reflection.

Not only do I try to take a look at the reflection in store windows of me in the 8, but I seek out other 8's in parking lots and try to park next to them.

Case in point: tonight I went to the movies. There was a black RX-8 GT with the appearance package (exactly like mine except the color). The 8 was parked way the hell away from the movie theatre, and there were plenty of spaces much closer. I had to park right next to it.

When I got out, not only was the RX8 still there, but another 8 parked right next to me (3 RX-8's in a row). It was odd seeing 3 8's at once....barely ever seen any on the road. Gotta say, I definitely felt like I was in an exclusive club seeing them all lined up like that.

God damn, I love this car!

I love doing that, there is this one spot where I get to take off while looking at a line of glass windows that give me the best reflection of the beast.

Same here, our rx-8 looks stunning in motion.

Almost drove into a sidewalk because I looked too mutch at the reflection of my car in a store window.

I say our cars are dangerous to drive near big windows
