People comes up to me and asks me if it's a rotary engine, I mean, WTF? Everyone knows that there's no such way that a car will run without pistons... damn n00bs. I mean, how can they not see my V6 badge on the back of my RX-8? I swear... people now-a-days.

I had a 90 RX7 GTU, and was at the audio shop, and a kid walked up to me and said "wow that's a nice chevy bereta I have a GTU to", After the kid and his friends left I took a heat gun and adhesive remover and took off the GTU stickers. Then with my 8 some guy ask if it was chevy's new hybrid, I just turned around and got back in my car and left. I think I'm going to buy a mustang that way people can't say oh is that a chevy.

co-worker: Hey nice car.
me: thanks
co-worker: Porsches are so expensive how do you afford it working here?
me: ... it's not a Porsche.
co-worker: oh is it like a new Mustang or something?
me: no it's a Mazda.
co-worker: (blank stare)
me: It's an RX8
co-worker: Oh right, those are pretty cool.
me: thanks (get into car, drive away knowing that she is still as clueless as when we started the conversation.)
This is only one of many dumb conversations I've had with people about my car. Eventually I got a couple little rotary decals and put them in my windows on the suicide doors. It's really helpful for those awkward gas station conversations about the engine.

The best part about this thread is that I've had my 8 for about 2 weeks now and I've experienced about 90% of the conversations you guys have posted.
To contribute something though, when I bought the car from the dealership, the salesmen originally wrote in 6 cylinders on the purchase agreement. To be fair, he did catch his mistake....after he filled the whole thing out unfortunately.

2004 Mazda RX-8
2D Coupe, 2WD, 2 cylinders, Manual 6 Speed, Blue, 18/24 MPG
According to Carmax we drive a 2 cylinder now LOL
