Eight Fever
You know you've got it when:
1) You drive 20 miles to save a nickle per gallon.
2) Getting there is 95% of the fun
3) You REALLY don't care when somebody blows by you going the speed limit + 30
4) You would rather drive than fly
5) You prefer the scenic route even though you are too busy looking at the road to notice the scenery.

You downshift and redline the gears for no apparent reason.
You open the rear doors all the time.
You check yourself in the shop window everytime you drive past.
You check your oil all the time.

Your wife gets the ***** because you're always in the garage.
Your wife gets the ***** because you're always "out for a drive."
Your wife gets the ***** because all the young girls check you out.

You have rx-8 cards you leave on other rx-8's in the area inviting them to visit this message board.
After shopping, you take a lap back in front of the store so everyone can see :D

- You sit at the table for dinner in a position you can stair at your 8.
- You sit at a restaurant where your 8 is visible from the front, dang that front is awesome!
- You drive down the road constantly searching for another 8 so you can see what you look like.
- You park in places that everyone can see, preferably alone (helps with dings as well but more for show).
- You constantly remark to your wife how you really don't drive fast... yea, right!
- You drive like screaming hell up to the speed limit but back off just to keep from getting busted and are satisfied for a few moments, until the next red light.
- You turn your stereo off just to here the engine.
By the way, I like that rx-8 cards idea mrthundercleese.
SpinninAgain!, I'm 52 and feel 17 when I drive.

......when you don't mind driving your wife to the salon and then the mall to shop
......you volunteer to use the 8 to carpool knowing there are 6 people and you have to make 2 trips
......you wake up in the middle of the night, realize it's starting to rain and you move the car into the garage

FREE ADVICE!
SpinninAgain.....dude....age has NOTHING to do with it!! :D :D
I can't believe so many share many of the same symptoms. I thought I was the only one who...
1) Requested the hostess seat us somewhere in the restuarant where I could see the 8.
2) NEVER drives it to the mall, or worse......WAL MART.
3) Only parks in regions of a parking lot, so far out and away from other cars, that nobody else on Earth could possible want to park.
4) Bought each of my daughters their own micro-fiber buffing towel.
5) Keep the radio in the garage playing at night...for her.
6) After getting to work, press the lock button on the remote 5 or 6 times as I walk in the building, imagining the horn is her saying "buh-bye."
7) If I take her to the store, leave one on my kids in the car so they can growl at people who get too close. :D

- Or you love when your wife wants to take the 8 out for a spin so you can see and hear what it looks like from the outside while she peels off
A NEW ONE…(I got all of you beat)
Having dreams of the RX8, living at this website, making my wife jealous ALREADY mind you, and hearing ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM after each prayer to GOD.
And…I don’t even own one yet…
