don't forget that each time you press it, your fuel economy increases by 5mpg.

It activates the smoke screen. That is why you need to frequently check your oil level.

That switch is a cloaking device. I have one in my 8. Activating such makes the driver invisible to women under age 40.

That settles it. It was a self-destruct button. This thread's starter pushed it.

Okay, okay, y'all are forcing me to say what the button really does. This is right from a Mazda engineer who hasn't had a woman in 20 years, it is an orgasm button. If you press it too many times you will go blind, not to mention ruin your seats.

Thumbs down Phantom button

This is an idiotic thread. The button must surely be the cover that is on that location because nothing else is in that spot. Solved !!!

Maybe its the switch that turns the blue lights on in the music system display - still looking and haven't found it since my cousin turned it off!

Guys he left because you were talking about the 1400's. He posted on another website with a pic and all and after looking in the engine they figured out it was an added toggel switch to control the ride hight. the button drops the car 3 inches @ 30mph, while increasing the angle of the spoiler.

And it also sent him back to 1550 where he has desided not to come back.

so if i get this straight... you open the covered switch on the left and move it upwards or downwards to select the year to which you want to travel, and instead of leaving at oonly 88mph (which is stupid for an rx8 cause its too slow to stop going faster), you installed a 88mph gotcha button on the right (also red). The gotcha swtich fools the flux capacitor into thinking the wheels are going 88mph. The real question though, have you managed to produce fuel from garbage yet? Because if your going to be time traveling via a gotcha swtich, you will be using 300 gigajouls of energy per jump, of which you will need a nuclear decombobulator to break down the atomic energy of trash.

Either that or you are going to have to carry your own petrol. Although, as I remember, There might be a bit of grease available over a Castle Dracula, He was a 1400 guy! Spain's got a civil war going on, and England is enjoying the plague and a house servant who married into the royal family is cheerfully killing off his wive's family and blaming it on Richard III - The Aztecs are building mounds of skulls left over from the sacrifice to keep the sun burning, and predicting that the end of the world is coming is less than 100 years when Queztcoytl or some other bearded white man makes his promised return. Mayans, Incas, and a bunch of Indians in New Mexico are waiting for the same thing... I think I'll head for Germany, their old Roman road is still pretty good and Wesbaden has some good hot springs!

As a New Mexican, I can vouch for us all when I tell you "there arnt any Indians in New Mexico". They are all actors ment to consume and confuse the rest of the country while occasionally playing the role of "Jumps with Bear and Dear" on the TV show Dr. Zuui and Frends.
