... when, even while your engine is being replaced at 40k miles, you take a new R3 for a test drive and decide you would buy the same car all over again.

.... when you drive anywhere in town and you see heads turn and follow you. As you glance in the rearview mirror they watch until long after you've gone by....esp. the kids.

You know you drive an Rx8 When you go to the track and people inform you that your car is slow and has no torque.... You just smile and beat them by several seconds.

when you enter a walmart parking lot take the first corner at 50mph, and just smile and say "i love turning" then GF looks at me and says whats wrong with you.

but plus side i got me a car GF and she completely understands and wants me to go faster and hit corners harder =)

god i love my 8 r3, and love this thread i can agree with almost all and i only have 800 miles on her =)

When you're walking away from you 8, and you can't stop looking back at it, and remembering how it has no cylinders.

When you look at the stack of broken engines on the shelf in your garage, just by the side of the Mountain of Dead Coils and the Drawer of Worn Plugs.

---you'll make up any excuse to go to the store and,

---that 10 minute trip to the store turns into an hour-long getaway and,

---your wife thinks you're cheating on her because it took an hour to go to the store

Lastly,

---you drive around with the radio off just so you can hear the sound of the engine

I'm guilty of all of these ...

I think you're in the wrong thread... You must be looking for the "You know your RX-8 has a problem when..." thread.

When people ask why your new car burns oil then you proceed to say "it's supposed to."

When you have to go around the block just to move your car from the street to the driveway.

When 9k rpm's is a daily occurence.

You know you drive an Rx8 when the car tells you to change gear with a little beep, and if you don't hear it your short shifting and not keeping the engine nice and clean.

You know you drive an Rx8 when your boss asks you why it took an hour to get everyone coffee from the dunkin doughnuts across the street

...when your co-worker tells you "your car sounds like a jet taking off"
