I was just wondering if anyone has given a thumbs up to someone you see on the road with an RX-8? The 8 is a beautiful car and we all know that...why not congratulate someone else for having a chance to own one?..

Yep! A guy in his 40's with his wife about 2 lanes away from me yelled out "hey nice car!", I yelled back complimenting him on his nice black 8. Then when I was on my way home a cute asian girl that drove the same color 8 as me drove up and said hey nice car. I looked over and was like wow this girl is fine lol. But anyways I give thumbs up to fellow RX8 drivers or anyone driving a nice car.

RX-8s and RX-7s...

I HATE giving thumbs up. I think it's dumb. I don't like getting them even more because I hate feeling obligated to give them!


I'd prefer a simple wave. or a short honk.

I just had a guy in a blue RX-8 pull up beside me at a light yesterday. Gave him a big thumbs up. It's just the polite thing to do. :D

affenage

Hmm. I usually just flash 'em :D

BasenjiGuy

Just a simple look in their direction. Be discrete, Dude.

guy321

I tried flashing once, but I couldn't move because my seatbelt was too tight.

MTLbroker

Yep. Twice in two days. Small wave.

Take your foot off the brake to release the tension in the belt.
oh, and T shirts work best.

I'd like to, but in 1,000+ miles I have yet to see another (moving) RX-8

when ever i see an rx8, i wave or something of the like, even though i dont own an 8. strangly enough, even though ive waved to about 5 or 6 different 8's, the drivers have only responded to me once. i dont own an 8, so maybe thats the reason.

guy321

That's why. We don't have time for the likes of you!

affenage

you've GOT to be kidding?!

Berni

I have to agree with you "it makes me feel kinda funny" I would rather wave then pretend i am the Fonz

I always give the thumbs up to rotary owners.
Even if some look at me like i got a third eye.
Why?
Just spredding the love

legokcen

Yes, I try to signal to all the other rotary owners I pass by.

Wow folks, I have a hard time believing that not every RX8 owner loves their car as much as I. I make it a point to acknowledge every 8 I see. If I see one going the opposite way, I'll flash my brights. If I see one in a parking lot I'll leave a business card with RX8club.com written on it. I've been known to pull in behind somebody that's parking an 8 and congratulating them.

Rotary Nut

I give a thumbs up to all RX's especially the 8!

guy321

I love the 8 and i love all other rotary cars, i just hate sticking my thumb out.

Do you really want to look like this???

I started looking at the RX-8 in September of last year... I bought in November. Since then, I've seen just four moving 8s. Last week, while walking down the street, an 8 pulled out from a parking garage with its window down. I said, in a very loud voice, "Wow! That's an amazing-looking car! God, is that a rotary?" The driver had a BIG smile. Very funny.

HeelnToe

LOL, seriously...

All the more odd, as these parts tend to be overrun by the newly rich and trendy (no, not me - I'm just a poor native). I passed by a Viper last week, saw a couple Ferraris the week before, an Evo or two go by locally, an Sti is down the road... just got back from the local ice cream stand (which is simply a front for the same rich and trendy to park and show off their rides) packed with Porsches, BMWs, even a nicely done 56-57 Chevy...

And still no 8s.

Of course, now that I SAID that, lol... I'm sure I'll see 10 tomorrow

I wink at them by turning my fog lights on then off.
