The good news is, though, that the 8 can be repaired to just-like-new.
Make sure you look for Phee, another of our kind who also hangs out here a lot. You and she both are from San Diego (I'm in LA Co). We could have a Ladies Only RX-8 drive!

First off, your son's friends will think you rock just for buying the car. He will never ask you to "drop him off a block before" anywhere again. And it definitely gets male attention
Seriously, it's the most fun car I've ever driven, and it handles sooooo smoothly. I look for excuses to drive. If I can help in any way, send me a private message. And Aratinga's idea of a Ladies RX-8 cruise would be way fun. We could tear up SoCal!

well you're in trouble then as its already the "chick RACE-car"

Girl - I don't think they even sell the 8 in pink. *ducks*
What I MEANT to say was if you like the way it drives, can handle the periodic maintenance, and are in fact a girl, then yes, the RX8 is for chicks.

Is this car "cool" for an adult woman, divorced ? My son age 10 loves it. I am very feminine and fun loving and just appreciate the car. I would rather have that car than a BMW or Lexus.
I don't want to see like a guy .............. Do girls have this car too ?

Silver1, you forgot the ladies in Texas and of course, when you come through north Louisiana on your convoy to Florida, I'll join in, too. :D
I've had my 8 for over a year and half and have absolutely loved every single minute and can't wait to get in it and drive every chance I can.

I am getting one !
Thanks for all the posts and replies. It is great so many women have them.
I will most likely be buying one (silver), SOON ! After I drove one I knew I loved it but wish the expected reliability was a little better.
Now my only issue is reliability which after reading through the posts, I believe I will overlook and live with ... and hope if anything fails it does so under warranty.
Cheers to the ladies RX8 club ! Such a neat car . There are a lot of people browsing around here. I am so glad I found this place.
