Ooh, ah, you see, the thing is...somebody messed up. They weren't supposed to sell the car to someone with no garage.

Please return it immediatetly, for a full refund, less mileage.

Oh, these are so true. Especially the one about "how's the car" and the tax one.

yeah, I've already been planning to rectify that situation as soon as my lease is up at the current apartment. At least she's under a carport at home and a parking garage at work. I'm trying dangit, don't take my baby!

When your ask to turn on the AC when it's super hot and a few minutes later they ask again.

When you always pop your trunk without wanting to.

When you can always show someone a picture of your car even if you don't have the car with you.

- a hundred dollars for 4 spark plugs is something you brag about to your friends.
- all your friends cars have more horsepower then yours yet they all claim yours is the most
fun to drive.
- when your transmission starts grinding into gear and you just tell everyone thats a common
problem its no big deal

you know you own an rx8 when you turn off traction and stability control when its wet and slippery when other drivers keep theirs on so you can use your right pedal to turn.

I'm sure it's been said, but..

You know you own an Rx8 when you judge your income by what you can buy for your Rx8.

You own an Rx8 when you buy stuff from Race Roots, and it gets here with plenty of time for you to get it installed before your next Autocross.

Sorry, I had to, since I just woke up to hearing that I had a package.

Also, the best way to wake up when you're an Rx8 owner.
