Maybe I need help! I love my car too much...
Is it just me??
I find my self most of my free time...
Either:
1) Looking at mods in random web pages
2) Checking eBay, maybe someone has a great deal in some accessory for my 8...
3) Going into my garage and just starring at it..... Wondering what I would do without it...
4) Spending a lot of my time in the fallowing WebPages: www.rx8club.com, ohiorotaries.com, rx8media.com, rotarynews.com, mazda.com, cardomain.com, and other random rx8 pages I put my hands on it!!
5) Wishing I had some extra money so I can Turbo my baby...
6) Washing it once a week... sometimes 2 times depending how barely dirty it gets.
7) The girlfriend gets mad at me every time that I tell her that I was in a date with my 8...
8) Going to Google video and hoping someone added a new video related with the 8...
9) Wondering how can it be possible... I am this nut about a car????
I am probably crazy... anyhow I just wanted to get that out of my chest!

You aren't the only one. I am in and out of this site a dozen times a day. And I just go in the garage for no good reason just to sit in the car. I walked around the car with a bottle of Windex and remove dirts on the rims on a regular basis. Can't help it but hey it made me happy.

Speaking of rx8 Obsession Syndrome and PT Cruisers...
A few weeks ago I took my wife to visit an artist friend of ours. He had never seen my car before and we parked in front of a wall of glass that is the front of his gallery. I pulled in next to a PT Cruiser - the only other car out front.
We're walking along the length of his gallery talking about various pieces, etc... I keep stealing glances at my car and finally he looks too and says, "Wow! look at that PT Cruiser! that is such a cool car." I look him in the eyes searching for clues that he was joking. Seeing none, I was too dumb founded to speak and just let it go.
We continue walking along, after a few minutes he turns again and says, "Wow, I wonder who owns that PT Cruiser?" I grab him by the shoulders and exclaim, "JD! you are killing me man, what about that RX8 right next to it!?!" He looks at me and goes, "Oh, I'm not really into sports cars...".
We eventually bought a small sculpture and it was unclear if it would fit in the trunk. (it did!) So I told him I would run it out to check. He goes, "you mean that thing has a trunk?" Now he is pulling my chain so I drag him out to look at it. He finally had to admit that it was a pretty cool car... Sheeeze

I have my own crazy habits too, so don't feel bad.
- House is full of food & drink, but I go out to get McDonald's drive thru anyways... but not just any McD's - the one that's 15 miles from home.
- I get home from work with HOURS of freetime, look at my filthy-as-**** car and think "OK - That's IT. She get's washed NOW." I go inside, change out of my work clothes, walk outside, see my car... stare.... stare.... ah screw it, I'll wash it tomorrow! Joyride time!
- I put about 100 miles on my car a day, yet the drive from home to work to lunch to work, to home doesn't even round UP to 10 miles.
- The act of pressing the mute button every time I downshift has become so automatic that I'll press the mute button when the stereo system isn't even on.
- 16 years of musical training now serves no purpose other than to let me recognize the sound my engine at 7.5k RPMs, which means I've hit the speed limit if I'm in 2nd gear.
- After every episode of "FutureCar" I had to take a 2½ break to go take my car out around all of my favorite turns, all the while reminding myself each time "In 10 years, I can take them even FASTER"

i pwn therefore i am
Personally I think you've fooled yourself into thinking you're this obsessed because it seems noble or something to you. And telling us how obsessed you are is probably an attempt to look cool or something.
But what do I know. I spend pretty much all day on this site and I don't even work here.

welcome to the club! When you spend 6-8 hours in a single day detailing your car then I think you're officially crazy... oh wait,...nvm.
