My 8 has totally spoiled me!

This, in my opinion, is the most common experiance of RX8 drivers. Now I can't stand driving other cars (but my wife's 6 is still a nice drive...just lacks power down low with the I-4)

Great story about the hair. What did you have before, a Kramer 'do?

I heard that Don King had the same problem. His solution was to get an RX-8 with sunroof and keep the sunroof open. On rainy days he hires someone to drive for him and sits in the passenger seat, leaned way back. He doesn't get to drive, but sometimes he leans forward and does some shifting.

Nah, it was a pretty ordinary haircut. I just needed an extra 1/2" of clearance, and the new doo takes care of that. If I let it grow out again maybe I'll buy one of the nylon skull caps to pin my hair down. Now if I can just find a RX-8 skull cap.
