I hate that I worry about dirt and scratches etc...
seriously, though, my only complaint is that the damned rearview mirror blocks my view out of the right side of the front windshield. anyone else have this problem?

I took my 8 for a road trip shortly after it was broken in. About an hour into the drive, and many a passed vehicle later, the very gorgeous passenger sitting to my right looked over at me and said in a depressed voice "I guess all these people aren't looking at me, are they?" Trying to control my laughter I said "No sweetheart, I don't think they are."

Really hate having my 8 parked under a cover for most of the winter.
Can't wait until all this snow and ice melts. As well as all the little rocks that seem to be bullets being launched at my windshield.

I hate driving my 1992 Cherokee instead of my 8, due to the snow. Ever try to heel and toe a corner in a Jeep? :p
In fact I hate driving almost any other car. The transition is just too scary. One of these days I'll smack into something or spin wildly out of some curve. All it will take is a second's forgetfulness that this [POS other vehicle] does not brake like my 8, turn like my 8 or grip like my 8. The more miles I put on the RX-8 the tougher it is to retrain my reflexes for some other vehicle that doesn't do a d@mn thing when I punch the brake or turn the wheel.

I dont hate the way the water dances on the hood after its washed, or when you wash it and go like 50 the water beads move up the rear window, I love that, always makes me smile.
