Hard 8

At lunch I walked over and checked out a Ti RX-8 in a local parking lot, after I saw a young lady park and walk away from it. It was a GT with an automatic, and inside I saw she had put a mouse fur cover on the dashboard and a Betty Boop rubber grippy cover on the steering wheel. The car was filthy, and bird crap was all over the hood.

I feel for that 8. Maybe it'll show it doesn't like being treated that way and lower her mpg.

OMG. That would make me sick, but the RX-8 is just another sexy looking car to some people. Those types don't really appreciate what they're driving. Probably a leaser. No ownership pride. Maybe you should spend some time educating her?

young lady-"my transmission wont shift out of park, can you tell me whats wrong?"

technician- "wds says its a Poo260 code which means it saw it's reflection in a window and refuses to go anywhere with you."

My 8 treated me poorly today.

I drove past a Mercedes dealer (the one I goto for my car service) and saw this absolutely sexy SLK 55 sitting outside. I snapped my head around to look at it before I pulled into the gas station. I also have not washed my sweet lil girl in 2 weeks. I goto the pump, expecting to put 11 gallons of fuel in... no. 13!!! I went from almost 19 (18.5 on avg) mpg to 16.2!!! I tucked her in real nice tonite and plan on cleaning her tomorrow. I also swore I would NEVER look at another car in that manner ever again.
