Wink Dramatic Power Loss

So I'm having a little "fun" with my 8 on a spirited drive. I push a little too far around a corner and spin out. When I start driving again, the 8 seems to have lost its "get-up." It will drive, but feels like only 80HP!

Thank God I woke up. I guess this is when you know you've fallen in love with your car.

Anyone else have any 8 related dreams (or nightmares) lately?

i dreamt of this guy asking me to take her daughter out and baby sit her... and i was like um.. no.. pay me $200-300 dollars thinking that was an absurd price and he wouldn't take it.. and hes like okay.. so i'm like frick..

so i take her in my car.. and we ride around.. and i get out to do something... but my view just changes to inside the car while i disappear somewhere.. and the little girl draws all over my interior with crayons or something.. and i come back.. and i'm like WTF?!@#?

and I was so pissed and devastated.. cuz ti was brand new back then... and then i saw on the passenger side dash.. she drew this nice sunflower and it was like... to show she loved/care for me.. and then my heart melted.. for her.. haha.. i liked her so much after.. and wanted her to finish making the interior sweet with her drawings...

haha...

"Was it the one where you're dressed up in sort of 'sun god' robes and there are hundreds of naked women worshipping at your feet and throwing little pickles at you?"

"No."

"Why am I the only one who has that dream?!"

I had a dream that I actually had one once last year, It was a VR with a Custom stereo and neon, strangely. Not a fan of neon, but I was thrilled and about to take a ride. Then I woke up cause I got too excited. Dammit!

Funny this thread came up, because I had my first and most interesting RX-8 dream 2 days ago:

I was a car salesman at a Mazda dealership around 8 pm at night. A family of a dad, mom, and their two small kids come and tell me they are interested in the RX-8. I drive the dad around in a Ti color (same as mine) and also advise him to get a manual. There was a line of poles on the lot, so I slalomed around them. After the drive, he tells me he wants to buy, so I go find the paperwork, only I can't, because I don't know where the heck it is. The guy starts to get impatient, then pulls a gun on me! He starts firing at me, but I pull some serious ninja moves to narrowly dodge the bullets. He finally runs out of bullets, so I kick the crap out of him and hold in some kind of arm lock. He begs me to let him go, saying something like "my boss is gonna kill me!", so I let him go.
