Haha my buddy nearly did the same thing. I took him for spin shortly after I got mine and he just said "I gotta get me one of these!"

anyobody else hate how the doors love to slam back on you when trying to open them from the inside?

it pisses me off almost everytime i go to get out. i just wished it would want to stay in the open "areas" instead of being so easy to shut back. especially when on the inclined driveway.

I think you have the wrong idea of what this thread is about....have a read of:
A: a few earlier comments & the TITLE of the thread
B: your comment...see why it doesn't fit in yet?

I love walking out to my car after work in my little North Dakotan town to find a note on my car saying "Are you interested in selling your rx8 if so call Allan (phone #)"

For those who don't/can't read, here's what this thread is about, and I quote:

The little things
What are some of the "little things" that make the '8 so enjoyable?

Do you "get" what this thread is about now? I didn't think so.

Back into your driveway, that way you can head out quicker when you need to go for a drive.

Tell Allan to get his own rx8 and tell him to join the rx8club.

i knew what this thread was about before i posted my complaint. perhaps i was thinking how much i love the way the doors shut sarcastically.

besides. after this many posts in this thread i highly doubt i can contribute to something that i like about the car that has not already been said.


anyone else find a "fix" for these shy doors?

I love how when you park and you're walking away, how you keep turning around just to look back at your 8, just to smile at how beautiful it is. Then repeat 5 seconds later.

I'm sure one of these days I'm going to get hit by another car in a parking lot because I'm always walking with my head turned back.

I love the tingling feeling I get when walking up to the car after a long day of school or work. I know that the next 30 min during the drive home will be the highlight of the day.

Drizzled on my way to work and when it stopped I opened the moonroof and noticed water drops being sucked up the back window, looked cool

I love the interior lighting, the curtesy light on the drivers door mirror that comes on when you unlock with the remote, the small doors for a coupe, the compliant ride at street speeds and the fantastic balance through twisty roads, and how quiet it is when coming down our street late at night (well, the neighbors probably like that bit more than me).
The kids love the back, their own "racing" bucket seats, and no parental lock on their window ports 8) and their own cupholders and stowage cubbyhole in the backbone.
