I just read back some of the topic, but not all. I just wanna know...

So, you're the first owner of a Camaro SS?
Your parents bought you this, right?

I'm just curious... How much of your money is actually going into this car?

Rofl, being caught with your pants down in more than one way ftw.

rx8r3mike

i have a pretty good job,( not going to get into my personal life). i would say i pay for the car payments. but my dad pays for gas and insurance. so its like 50/50. i am a really good kid though, and work hard. its not like i am can pay for everything my self at my age its impossible. but for the most part a lot of my own money goes into this car.

rx8r3mike

can we stop picking on me now? and move on with are lives ?

I'll take your word on that, but about your username.. Did you used to own an R3? If so, what happened to that?

rx8r3mike

yes i had one back in 2008. it was actually a lease to be honest. what happen was i got a new job and started to make decent money, and i had some extra cash that i wanted to put into my car. well finding out the new 2009 rx8s had very bad after market support. i started to not like my rx8 only because of the engine for modding. at that time i wanted to turn the lease in early and see if we can get money back for it. and my dad and i actually made a deal and i got to turn it in early and made a little money on it lol!

now when i got the car i had no intention of modding it. but as time went on and i learned a little more about cars and my best friend got a 350z that he started to mod and i wanted to mod also. in the end i needed a new car for that, and the SS was the car to get back in 2009. and it came with a corvette LS3 engine prefect for modding.

i got rid of my rx8 because of the engine. the car is cool and fun to drive, but if you have cash to spend on mods. the rx8 rotary is not a good choice plain and simple. and i learned that the hard way.

When I was your age, i lived on my own, and had to pay for EVERYTHING out of my own pockets. I earned everything I made, and owned, which wasn't much.

I didn't have a nice car, but I did have a nice motorcycle.
That saved me a lot of money, and made me happy when I rode it in the mountains, and after work.

It also didn't make me into a douche who was running around trying to impress people by belittling other people's enjoyment of their own things.

One day you will grow up.
Luckily you will forget all about this thread.

What you should do is have your mom and dad read this thread, and have them help you understand all the faults you currently have in your views of others, and your view of yourself.

Don't worry, everyone grows up someday.

BC.

Well, rotaries just mod differently than piston engines, they're a world different.

I know both sides of the fence well, I will say, I do have a bit more experience with piston engines, but I've dealt with both.

But what exactly are you looking for anyway? Because unless you're breaking into the engine it's self, it's all the same, as far as an intake on one car is an intake on another, exhaust is exhaust, big brake kit's are big brake kits, yatta yatta. Sure, we don't have a Super Chevy magazine or whatever, but we don't entirely need that.

One thing I will say, let the car be something to represent you. If you go with a mainstream car, you're just showing you're a mainstream person. If parts aren't available easily, and you give up, that shows your desire for it.

I spent 3 years working on getting the Mazdaspeed kit for my Mx6. Three. Years. I was 16 at the time I started working on finding it. Hell, I had to order stuff from out of the country.

But ultimately, there is aftermarket support, down to being able to run dry sump, adjustable cam gears, coilovers, big brake kits, exhaust, everything for my 1994 Mx6, you've just gotta dig deeper than the front cover of a parts magazine for the good stuff.

I'm not trying to be a *****, I'm just saying, for one, you're lucky to have that chance.

I will also say though, on other car forums, before page 2 hit, of you putting down our car, you'd be banned. Either by the administrators, but they used something called "Karma", which other members gave/took away. But if it got low enough, you were toast. Now, it was a fair system, the kinks worked out, but I've seen it happen, so you're lucky, since you're on an RX8 FORUM putting down OUR car.

I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt that in the furute, you'll realize you just weren't diving deep enough into this.

rx8r3mike

i respect you saying that to me, and by no means am i talking down to anyone. i am sorry if i came off like that.

also now of days kid are more spoiled. just just the way it is. i know allot of parents who buy there kids cars even if they are not very good cars.

i am not impressing people by talking bad about others joys in life. that doesn't make much sense to be honest.


BTW my goals in life right are to get good grades," females", make money on the side. those 3. isn't that what college kids do ?

rx8r3mike

i put down every car in there negative sides. you think i have never been bad on my camaros forums? i have been ban 2 times for putting down my own car and others! some people can not handle there cars in a negative light. every car has a negative side. i think there should be a thread about positive and negative on each forum.

i say it how it is, no ***** footing around. my camaro sucks for handling, has bad blind spots, and i wish chevy used live rear axles. the only thing that car is good for is looking good and going fast in a straight line. it weighs to much, but hey that v8 sure sounds good !

Well, I just have problems when things that aren't necessarily true are said.

If you put down our mpg, I wouldn't do anything but laugh. I mean, I do whenever I'm at the pump with my friends, and say, his Miata is still at half a tank. I just say that somewhere, a man who owns a Prius felt like he's just not doing enough.

But my point is, there are some things you should just refrain from saying, because it's not going to get anyone anywhere. Oh, and when you have such a reputation, you won't really be welcomed at meets, I've seen it happen. And trust me, it's just not worth it then, when your own community in the end ends up disowning you from it.

But, college? You're 16, right? Shouldn't you mean high school? Haha.

Oh, and disregard females, acquire currency.

Trust me. Acquire that currency.

rx8r3mike

its mostly the v6 camaro owners who hate me, lol! the v8 guys think i am pretty funny on the forums. i know allot about the camaro and help a lot of people out there. people ask me all the time to join there camaro clubs. we even had a meet today that i miss and people wanted me to be there and meet me.

people were asking me if i was 16, but i said no.

Then how old are you, honestly?

Eh, I've been in a car club locally, I just haven't made it out to any of the meets lately. I would this weekend, but where it's at, I don't feel like spending the money to go there, haha.

rx8r3mike

i am 21. ya man with gas prices and laziness i feel you! i live near woodward in MI ( dream cruse road) and i go down to meet there a lot on friday nights

MS Addict

Ah, wow, and your parents are still helping you out? Just saying, but you're lucky then. My parents just let me move back in, that's it. But I can't complain, free rent and meals.

It wasn't so much of that, the gas prices, as just, I just didn't really want to. Laziness was more or less the factor why, haha.

sh0gunshin

^you're all over the place with your arguments. first it's saying the engine sucks. second it's the lack of aftermarket service, next it's drag > corners. make up your mind. second of all, you can't be in college with your level of literary education. reading your posts makes my eyes bleed. you type like my 14 year old neighbor who thinks punctuations marks and spelling is not 'hip.' and if you are 16 and in college that must mean you live in europe.

the rx8 is a great car, and if you were a true enthusiast, you'd take the time and effort to configure your own car instead of relying on a market

edit: i'm 21 and i pay for my own gas, rent, schooling. my parents bought me my rx8 r3 as a gift and it is by far the best car i've owned and driven (includes zr1, m3, camaro ss, shelby, wrx sti, tt, isf [mostly by the family, relatives])

I dunno, I'm 20 myself, and a majority of my friends have equal, or worse grammar, punctuation, and whatnot online. They just feel like taking a break from how uptight it is in school. Which, I don't understand, because it makes people look down upon you, not showing that you're educated better than you are..

And you guys are making me feel bad. I wanted an R3 badly, but doubted I could even get a used one without need of a cosigner, so I got the 8 I got for half the price to be sure I could get it on my own, haha.

...I heard you didn't want your Recaro's anymore. -Nudge nudge-

rx8r3mike

i think some people need to learn to read to be honest. you not the only one.

how does that not make sense to you, never said the engine sucks or is bad. i did say the rx8 is slow in a straight line.

the rx8 lacks power after market parts at a ok price i understand because there is not much you can do to that engine. to gain power like piston engines. i prefer drag over cornering, but i would take both if i could. and more people buy camaros and mustangs and challengers. so thats got to say something about what most american people want in a car.

also i am lazy on a car forum, and write enough essays, so i dont care if what i say looks like a 14YeAr Old

MS Addict

Us Americans also have a shorter attention span usually, when it comes to that. I personally don't like drag, because, well, say in general, a sub 15 second 1/4 mile is just 15 seconds or so of it. I prefer to be out on a track for an extended amount of time.

But, in all reality, typing like how I do, just using the shift button, the period, and whatnot, isn't near as bad as an essay. It doesn't even take but a fraction of a second to hit the buttons, and your posts look a whole lot better.

Again, not trying to be a *****, or a douche, but it's the truth. Heck, I know plenty of people who flat out ignore people who don't use proper grammer and whatnot at least to this extent.

rx8r3mike

ya your right about both topics there. a track is fun no doubt. i just think more people drag than track. i know when i go to the drag i go with about 10 people i know. those people have cars like bmw m5, 370z, STI. cars that would be fun on a track, but yet they are going to a drag.

MS Addict

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, I know more people here go to drags and such, but it's still to each their own, I just don't really enjoy drag racing. Plus I'm not one to launch my car hard, I like my drivetrain intact, haha.
