How to punk people who think RX-8's are junk.
 

Someone please tell me how to shut these people up! They are driving me nuts and I cant think of any good comebacks.

What are they saying?

how bout yr sad. get a life...

and if you have to ask that ? read the first line..

gfl.

beers :beer:

LOL. if they rip on your car.. just ignore it and drive away? make sure you walk away with a hot girl too! hahaha jk

use a witty "your moma joke". And for reference watch "Your Moma" on MTV for good material. I'll call Willmer and see if he'll host this

About all the recalls, basically all the problems that people have been having. How our cars are too heavy and slow.

Ignore them--they are haters.

well,

you cant spell. it is swoope.. and fking duh..


what problems are you having. and wtf do you care about what other people think. they are not your mom..

as i said grow up..

beers :beer:

what the hell do they drive, a lightweight high-hp car with no recalls? I don't think so.

BTW; the RX-8 is one of the lighter cars on the market today at under 3,000 lbs, and is in the top 5 lightest 4-doors.

tell them atleast you can get your groceries in style! lol 4-dr sedan all the way!

Whatever.
Let them think the 8 is junk, it's their loss.

Why bother butting horns with them when you love your car?

I'm just content in the fact that I am secure enough in my car that I don't have to go tear down other people's choice in transportation.

lol ask them what they drive

Yo mama so fat, she on both sides of the family.

It's one of the lightest 4-seat RWD cars around, one of the cheapest RWDs around, and the recalls haven't affected many owners at all. It's quarter mile isn't great but it's the thrill of the Mazda handling and one of a kind rotary, along with some practicality.

Cheers to them if all they care about is how soon they hit 60. What cars do they have anyway?

Are this friends of your or what? If they are you need to get yourself some new friends . Mature ones would be a good start. I don't any body on the street is going to come up to you and say anything.

Just brag that you have a rotary engine and they don't.

Why don't you play nice, put on a big smile & invite these haters for a little ride and show um what they're hating on. It just might change their minds. Better than fighting and yelling.

you and your friends will figure it out when you graduate high school.

maybe it is his mom thats hating on his car. that would be pretty sad.
LOL

On a side note, most of the top secret UAVs runs on the rotary engine. The Goldern Eye 100 is a prime example.

I get this crap all the time from teenagers. No torque, no hp blah blah blah. I just ignore them and go about my business. Or I just say straights are for kids who have no talent as drivers. I know not much of a comeback but it does get them thinking.

I like to kill their parents and make chili out of them, and then feed the chili to the guy pissing me off.

just tell him that foxybodys(even if he doesnt have one) dont get girls! lol

Its people on an other forum, like a local Louisville area forum, they just think they know all. Im not in high school, lol.

it just sounded like they had the maturity of high schoolers and you were concerned as a high schooler would be. all signs point to needing to grow up and not care what others think of you and your car.

Step 1: Get a box
Step 2: Cut a hole in the box
Step 3: put your dick in the box
Step 4: Holiday dick in a box!

Tell him that his brain has less working parts than your engine.

this is how:

grow up, you're no better than them if you let that bother you

Collect Underpants

???

Profit!

This I like. :ylsuper:

The only people I've known who put down the 8 are on this forum. On other car forums, sure it gets put down, but so does every other car...so what? Me and my friends always rib eachother about our car choices, but nobody means it.

All that matters at the end of the day, do you enjoy your drive home?

Since speed is your concern: Get a girl that will screw you on the hood of your car in front of them. That way you can show them that even though your car is slow, you aren't!

"F*** you" works well in many situations.

Alternatively, don't let it bother you. Or pretend that it doesn't. If you react at all, just smile and say something like "That's interesting" or "Really?" Or even pretend that you enjoy the gag. The key is that if you let them know it bothers you, that only encourages them.

I hope your car is stick....
Tell them you got 9K rpm. I am sure those guys dont have a car like that!
How come no one has mentioned about 9k rpm.... :Eyecrazy:

and tell them you can pick up hot chics in your car. Headturner-
Well I know mine is. :cwm27: lol

/thread

if you don't like your car or have to jusify it in some fickle way, then you got the wrong car, period.If somebody else doesn't like it, get over it, ignore it, who gives a shit really,it's not like they're making your payments. People are always going to find something to rag on, something to shoot down, take the Enzo or Bugatti for example. You're wasting your time if you think you'll change anyone's mind, the only person who should care about your car is you.

I am hoping you had reasons for getting the RX8 in the first place, so I would start with these.

For instance, you might say something like "I have a 1.8 litre engine that produces 230 hp (you can say this cause mazda does, even though we knows its not true), I have a 50/50 weigh distribution, I have 4 seats that people can actually sit in and a trunk to put shit in, my car is consistently ranked in the most fun sports cars to drive by car and driver, my car goes from 60 to 0 in 117' which only two other sports cars can top, my engine redlines at 9k RPMS and is actually comfortable being driven there"

you get the idea, i need to go drive now

The 8 is NOT the best car in the world. Get over it and enjoy the ride.

No car is perfect, as long as you enjoy it, who cares what the next guys say. Getting mad only shows you're not confident with your choice.

How about telling them his torque is for getting their fat @ss moving, and to make up for their personal shortcomings. I love VW commericals.

Ask them to a road course, that would scare them off.

You mama so small she uses a Doritoe for a hang glider! :cwm27:

MY Rx8 gets fuel cut just before 10k rpms (stock tach). Most cars would have to spend $$$ to do something close to that.

What cars are these people driving?

Is your car painted Wildcat Blue? That could be the problem right there! Switch to Cardinal Red and you will be just fine.

A couple of suggestions:

1: Stop talking to highschoolers
2: Stay away from drivers with mullets

If they think all cars are front wheel drive, don't bother. If they think that American cars are the standard by which all others should be judged (positively, not truthfully), don't bother.

The best comeback is the one they don't want. If someone is telling you your car sucks, they are looking for a mad response from you. If you give it to them and try to shut them up, you are giving in to their wants. Don't. Just tell them that's their opinion and leave it at that. When they see it doesn't bother you anymore, they'll quit. That's how you shut them up. Either that or you just shoot them! ;)

Just make fun of their car. Every car has something wrong with it.

Your Mama so stupid, when Daddy said "It's chilly outside", she grabbed a spoon.

1.turn around
2.get ur keys
3.get in ur rx8
4.start the car
5.run over 'em f**kers
6.wait till the engine warm up and shut it off then walk away

Point taken, I wont say anything to those people, they just sometimes really get under my skin, ya know? But yeah I get it, I love my car and always will.

Well, Nissan and Honda are doing recalls too..1 million cars. Fuel tank defect. Bad.

blast some kelly clarkson and do doughnuts in front of their homes. lose control, hit a few trash cans and drive away.

LOL! If they're calling the 8 "overweight" I'd hate to hear what these fu@kers have to say about the Z! LOL!

The 8 is far from "fat!" And I agree with most, why do you care what they say? I mean, I kind of understand your frustration. Your buddies or whatever are picking on your car and you'd like a snappy or witty comeback, no? In this case, don't lose your cool. Cause if you do, then they'll know they own you through your car.

Mama jokes are the best. Also, "shut up b!tch!" works equally as well. When the first and the latter fail, a good pimp slap is guaranteed to work! :slap:

2 cents.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH OMG!!!
I hit the floor when I read that. Sheer brilliance.



As for the "how to shut people up" question, there is one very simple, very quick, very effective method to do so:

Take a turn
