Become? No more than it has ever been... I've always seen a pretty good percentage of RX-8s on the road driven by females. However, that doesn't make it a chick car in the same sense that the Jetta or Beetle is a chick car. However, the argument could be made that an AT RX-8 is a chick car in the same way an Eclipse GS might be a chick car but a GSX is not.

We havea few female RX8 drivers locally. Most of them do not even know what the car is, and they drive autos. The women who drive 6-speed RX's are a little more in to their cars, and will usually recognize other 8's on the road.
In my area I have seen about 15 other RX8's around, only 3 have had female drivers, and only 1 of those women was a car enthusiast.

Then please move out here. The only women I see driving 8's will never notice another 8 even when sitting next to eachother at a light. If you try to say HI they turn away as if you are a stalker. ( I am stalking the car, not the driver)

Today I went to the mall before work and there was another 8 parked with a parking spot right next to it. I parked right beside it and the store I had to go to was all the way at the other end of the mall...go figure...

I didnt bother reading this whole thread but I will say I cant believe the mods let you get away with some of the STUPID crap on here. Just because we are female dosent mean we are ignorant rotary owners. I probably know more about my car than half the guys who own them.... And mines a manual, imagine that! Lil ole' me driving a car with one of those shifter thingies!

[QUOTE=lol its not a "chix" car. A Miata can be considered one i guess.[/QUOTE]
I never understood why a Miata is considered a "chix" car, because so many are raced and autocrossed, and the reputation started when they were all manual ragtops. Still, I enjoyed a scene on a 1996 TV show where some guys were looking under the hood of a Porsche 944. A young kid said that Miatas were nice, too. The self-appointed expert said Miatas are chick cars, and the kid looked surprised. "Didn't you know? When you by one of those, the dealer gives you a gallon jug of perfume."

Without me its only Aweso
Well my gf can drive a stick and she occasionally drives my 8 when her civic si is low on gas. She gets really pissed when people assume she cant drive a stick.
The salesman that sold her her si made a comment about the si being a stick. I almost laughed out loud because i knew she was pissed.

I've been up n down with rotary a ton man so no need to assume anything here... heck it'd be like me assuming your some thumb sucking mama's boy that was given an RX8 cause you went a week without pissing your bed... so don't go assuming you know whom your talking about. I was merely starting a peaceful thread to bring peeps together from all over the world to state there input on how many guys vs girls they bump into driving an RX8... because I was impressed by what I noticed in my town.

This thread is a complete waste of time.. I see *chix* driving Camaros all the time... Add that to the list.. Another thing is *chix* driving big ol' lifted trucks.. Damn, add trucks to the list..
Holy cow, there are ignorant people buying cars everywhere.. My girlfriend & I own our RX8 and pretty much everytime we are in the shop working on it, she tosses on her dirty jeans & gets right under the car..
