I've gotten a couple "wow, that little thing must get great gas mileage."

Yeah, good one.

 

them's fightin werds

 

The clerk over here had an arguement with me about how many doors it had. They ended up putting "4 DR SEDAN" on the registration.

 

For insurance purposes...the 8 has two "cylinders" and four dours.

 

they told me here at the clerk that they had to put it as a 4cyl. as that was the lowest ## they had, /shrug

 

yeah, I get the 2nd pair of doors question all the time, but the one I found most amusing was this jerk off in a G35 that said "Why didn't you get a Z!?" in a real smart-*** voice, and gunned it past me...half a mile down the road I saw him pulled over with his hazard lights on, he must have lost control and hit something, because his front end was all bent up as well as the fenders. He look PISSED! And I slowly drove by him and said "that's why..."

it was a good feeling.

 

Guess the 8 is in the same boat as a the 3 cylinder Geo Metro of the day.

 

ahah Geo metro... what a beast...

 

I had a saturn driver pull up to me yesterday and yell out, "You guys COPIED us with those doors!"

I simply revved my engine at him.

 

3 cylinders of low revving fury!

 

Except they only have one, and it doesn't work right.

 

3 cylinders of pure glory...

 

haha! Yah, I wanted to say something similar.

 

The engine copied from the NSU Wankel Spider, 1964-1967

Saturn copied the doors from several compact pickup trucks

 

just another beautiful day owning an 8 i see

well, not to bring up a sore topic. i remember reading about the teenager chicago crash and how some family members of the victims were bitching about how the 2 back doors don't open independently. and, that contributed to the death of their family members. well, if they were in a 2-door coupe, the rear passengers would've been dead all the same- since the front passengers were dead and couldn't open the door for them. so, their argument really holds no water. a 2-door coupe and a 4-door coupe are still "coupes." so, blaming the car for the death of the rear passengers seems like using it as a scapegoat. blame the driver for his fantastic driving skills.

 

in todays society, the majority of people try to place the blame on something other than a person. It was the cars fault they died, not the driver. It was the gun manufacturers fault they were shot, not the person holding the gun.
It's mcdonalds fault im fat, not my lazy american ***.

nobody wants to accept the blame or responsibility for anything anymore, kinda sad

 

I take FULL responsibility for driving my car this morning LIKE I STOLE IT!!! ZOOM-ZOOM.

 

Seems like a very limited form considering the Isetta was a single door two cylinder in the early 1950's. The Iso Isetta took thirty seconds to reach thirty miles per hour. Not exactly Zoom Zoom.

BMW purchased the design and changed it to a single cylinder in the late 1950's for better reliability. I assume performance was still low as the new improved BMW engine had twelve horsepower.

 

depends on the location of the jersey hookers.....the ones near JC are different from the Newark girls and completely different than the Sleazeside ones.....the Bangkok ones i tend to agree with though

 

You have aged very well sir.

 

That has happened to me as well.

And that was after getting in 15 minutes before with both doors open.

That was the same exact thing I told her.

She responded with uh yeah that makes it a lot easier.

 

Those have a big *** on them but they are sleek looking, overall.

One of my co-workers bought one and some of the people at work thought she got a RX-8. They had commented to me that she got a car like mine... To be fair it was silver like mine.

 

my sympathies to ur 8 for being compared to an eclipse...

the blasphemy...

 

A friend of mine open the passenger door, move the seat forward, and squeeze her way in. I silently waited until she's in, then open the rear door.....

Wish I had the camera that day.........

 

I gotta chime in on this one. Some employee at Autozone today asked me if I had the 1.6L turbo version when he saw me pull up. I told him that such a thing doesn't exist; he shook his head then proceeded to tell me his friend bought one last week at the dealer.
