Three Simple Questions...
1. What is the deal with the metal rotor accent around the headrest of the front seats? It seems like this will be extremely uncomfortable and also a danger during an accident.
2. Do the rear seats fold down (independent of each other maybe, rear pass-through)?
3. Will there be no spare, but a spare is available as an option (spare tire kit, $395)? It's my take that there is a tire repair kit standard with the roadside assistance for the length of the warranty.
2. Do the rear seats fold down (independent of each other maybe, rear pass-through)?

1. For a normal size person, Your head should rest above the metal rotor accent. (Just pay attention to photos with driver)
2. NO, rear pass through only
3. Standard tire repair kit. Spare is an option in the US.

It's designed so that RX-8 owners can easily identify each other by the rotor imprint on the back of their heads
And I thought it was to identify on the forehead those back seat passengers who choose not to wear a seatbelt.

Quote from a now already old movie: "Dangerous, yessss, I am dangerous, LENS---MAAAN" 
(I am sorry, I only saw this one in German, so I might be wrong with the quote...).
I really love your humor, Lensman. "He strikes again"

This thread is a great example of how bad we are about getting off topic. It is not a big deal here though, because all the questions were already answered.

A. i like Buffy and i am older than both of you. now if they would just stop putting the re-runs in between the last few episodes i would be much happier.
B. that makes rotormotor as old as the chicks i'd like to date, only i'm married and my wife won't let me
C. i seem to be contributing to the taking the thread off topic problem. i should stop that :D

back on topic. i was confused by this one. what was the question?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm asking if there is a spare standard? If not, is there any type of tire repair kit standard? Also, if there is no spare standard, what is the "spare tire kit" include (fix-a-flat or a rubber donut)?

This is how it goes in the original version:
[LOCKER ROOM, after the First Flying Class at Top Gun]
ICEMAN: "You are everyone's problem, that's because everytime you go up to the sky, you are UNSAFE."
MAVERICK: "THAT'S RIGHT ! ICE......man, I am dangerous."(grin)
