Having an Rx8 (or a rotary) is like being in a family! Ask Jay Leno
I Have had my rx8 for about 6 months and besides having some smartasses on this forum having an rx8 is like being in a family..Everytime you see an rx8 you tend to greet or wave to the other owner. Last week in vegas I saw about 9 rx8s and everytime I drove by one I would wave or see them wave in pride that they were a rx8 owner.. Today i was around melrose and while at johnny rockets eating, Jay Leno pulls up next to me in his rx8..he sees my winning blue 8 for a sec and when he sees it he look directly at me and says, "Is this yours" "Dont you love the rotary" Mind you im a 21 yr old sales manager who is learning about rotarys.. he orders his food and sits not too far from me after chatting with a friend. he turns to me and explains the rotary and how dynamic a rotary is. We see another rx8 in yellow make a turn at the corner he honks at our 8s and jay says having a rotary is like being in a family..he leaves and thats the end to my story...I have an s2k and the family of hondas is just competitive..having arotary is like being in a family!

Good stuff man! Did you happen to mention this forum to him? It would be awsome to see him post in here and give his input on certain topics.
|
Cool story, I wish more people in their RX-8 could be more friendly in my area.
|
Good story!
Jay is cool, esp. as he has and loves his RX-8. Another good New England (MA) boy made good. I think he exemplifies how you can grow up and even get famous (and rich), but not loose the boyish charm, friendliness, and sense of humor to match. |
Appreciate you sharing this experience. Makes you wonder what his daily driver is, but I guess with all his choices, there isn't one.
|
Jay has a cosmo too!
|
mazda gave him that car to my understanding, great pr move. he could drive anything he wants and he chose the 8. nice story, thanks.
|
You guys saw the article where Jay talks about his MX-5 and his RX-8? Although he mostly talks about the MX-5, and how it's one of his favorites of all his cars, he also sings some high praise for his RX-8. It's a fun read.
Heck, I'll post it on my website and you can check it out for yourselves if you like. http://www.geocities.com/app_hq/rota...MazdaSport.pdf |

thanks for that article! |
Since the first result for googling 'rx-8' brings up this website, I wouldn't doubt he knows about the forums already.

good post. Not to lessen the menaing, but anytime you are a part of something that isnt a part of the mainstream norm, it usually means you spent some actual time/effort researching it. IE: music, films, cars etc. So when thats teh case it makes it more special and you can appreciate the other people who spent the same tiem you did on it.
Again I dont have one yet, but I joined this forum because the idea of having a unique rotary driven car like the rx8, and not having to fork over a few hundred grand is fine by me! |
Well said, SSJ 909! I feel this way about a lot of the things I do, and it's great to enjoy such a unique car with you guys!
PS: Very cool story :rock: PPS: Doesn't Jay also have a bike with some sort of turbine or something? I don't recall what it is exactly...but he seems to have good taste in transportation. |

I like Mr. Lenno, he is very funny and a major car guy. If he tells you something is good...it most likely is. Glad he likes our 8 and the MX5 so much.

As much as I like my RX8, I can't imagine driving one if I could choose anything out there. I guess when you've got it all you start appreciating when something is unique.
