I usually get.... "No wonder my insurance premiums keep going up since you have to pay for that new car" I usually say, "yep I raise them myself anytime I need to buy something"

This isn't about an 8, but funny none the less.

My dad has an ancient lotus super 7 which he drives rarely. One lady asked him if it was one of those motorcycles with 4 wheels.

I dont know about you, but where I come from we call that a car

A variation on the "how many cylinders" question:

When filling out the paperwork to take delivery of my 8, the accountant girl at the dealership was filling out the DMV registration application. When she got to the "No. Cyl." block, she stopped and looked at me. Not a problem, she's just an accountant, but I tell her to ask the sales manager who sold me the car. He tells her "It's a 6" ....

I wonder if your girl has seen my ***** car? Ask if she's seen asian sperm driving around in a titanium *****.

I LOVE that sound! You can also get it tooling around in 1st around 12-16 mph.

-Oh! it's like a Saturn (referring to the "freestyle doors")
-The rotary, that's one of those hybrids, right?
-Aforementioned cylinder count question

My favorite one was from my ex-gf:

She: So you need such a car to get a date these days?
Me: Yeah, years ago I got you without such a car and we both know how that one turned out.

driving at 85 I jerk the wheel to change lanes...
Don'cha love it! If I detour just 3 miles on my way home from the grocery I can hit a little S-curve on a side street. All the Tauruses, SUV's and mini-boxes poke through it at about 20mph. If I'm lucky with traffic I can zip through it at 40 with a quick right-left-right. The center of the 8 never leaves the centerline of my lane by as much as a mm. Then I hit an uphill left hand sweeper at 45-50. In the Cherokee I had to hold on at 25.

I do that detour alot. Anyone need a gallon of milk? :D

I guess it doesn't help that I took kung fu and judo instead of ballet and calligraphy. :P

I would think that most ppl just wanna know how much it costs.
We need more ladies like you, and the other two in the first page, out East. I live in New York and New Jersey and I still haven't seen one lady driving an 8 yet. A lot in Z's and G35 Coupes... but no 8's.

Going home from work the other day i passed an attractive blonde driving a red rx8. She was sitting at the light, and i drove pasther going the opposite way. When she saw another 8 coming she got all excited and started waving at me. I waved back. I keep telling myself it was me she was waving at and not the car :o
