I am guilty
Yes, I am guilty of causing severe neck strain to all the people looking at my car. It is amazing how many people strech their necks while they are driving (and their passengers too) to see my car. Everywhere I go people are VERY interested in the car. The other morning a car with three people in it drove alongside me on the driver's side, then slowed down went behind me and came along side the passenger side. I used to get some looks when I had my 2000 Celica GT-S (when it first came out), but nothing, nothing like this - I love it!

C'mon.... who is really guilty..... of hooking up just cause they have the RX-8. And I dont mean hooking up, like during wheelspin. WHoose got the dirt? Does this car just impress guys? I doubt it. Maybe we need a "hooking up" poll. CHeck the action you have gotten just for owning the RX-8.

On a related note, ever notice how people will get on your rear left or right side one lane over to better check you out? Pretty dangerous, if you have a blind spot they pace you right there. After a minute or two of occupying that annoying spot, they'll pull up alongside for a different view. I get this every day ... and love it!

Kids love this car, they are all pointing and talking and giving thumbs up and stuff. Plenty of adults comment and gesture as well--but I trust kids. I have a black R-1 7 with silver stripes and fully modded exhaust (also IC, Apex computer, etc) which gets lots of attention as well. My favorite moment was when I showed some neighborhood kids under the hood of the 7 and they asked me for an autograph. I of course told them they were being silly and played it off. But that is when I knew that the car was far past me in terms of coolness. My wife just laughed at me. As far as attention, I know my wife gets far more attention in the 7 and the 8 from guys than I get from girls.

talk about kids, I rememberwhen I was driving my white 88 vert, stop at a red light a kid climb out of a window and said "nice rx7" he pause for couple sec "nice car" as the light change, his last commend before we depart "very nice car" with a serious, somewhat matuer and intuit look.
think about that, even a little kid knows about the 7.
the 8 is way above that, I think.
