Because they spin. And spinning makes people dizzy. And when people get dizzy, they puke.

Wait, I think I lost where I was going with this... Lemme try the poetic approach.

RX-8's talk to their drivers.
At 850 RPM, they grumble that the gas pedal isn't gettin' any lovin'.
At 3,000 RPM, they cruise in traffic with ease.
At 4,000 RPM, they taunt "Shift, Granny, Granny, Granny..."
At 5,500 RPM, they smile and yell "WOOOHOOOOOO."
At 6,500 RPM, they say "Shift! Oh wait, I'm a rotary! MORE GAS!"
And somewhere on the exciting side of 9,000 RPM they scream "SHIFT, ************!"

Well thanks! I tried to make it out last year but I had problems at home. I know before I die, I'll attend a few of these! One of these days when I have time I'll come visit your shop (been wanting to do that).
