When was the last time you started your car and how long did it run? More info on car please,miles,year,transmission,has it ever been flooded before which might be your problem, if it did not get warmed up on last start.

He's as bad as Can
You flooded your 8 https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/engine-flooding-info-questions-17498/
Can you push start the car?

Okay, so we've(or you all) have given him ways to try and start it....which most of us already know, so let's back off the guy and see if he can get it started. No reason to berate him further at this point. Then we can sit back and watch him blow up the motor and all jump back in........agreed?

4 egg whites
2 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 recipe Blueberry Sauce

2. Stir in buttermilk and oil, and then gradually add flour mixture, beating by hand until the mixture is smooth.
3. Lightly grease a square or round waffle maker, and preheat the waffle maker.
4. Pour 1 cup of the batter (for square waffle baker) or 2/3 cup of the batter (for round waffle baker) onto grids, and then close lid quickly (do not open lid until waffle is done. Bake according to manufacturer’s directions.

Try other suggestions if no start still..
1. Pull Plugs
2. Crank motor with plugs out and fuel pump fuse out till all gas shoots out
3. Clean plugs
4. Put plugs and fuse back in
5. Turn Key
6. Zoom Zoom...(Hopefully)
Old school.....treat it just like when the old 2-stroke bike used to flood
