...If you have ever started washing the car with the engine on because you were waiting for it to reach normal temp.

 

............When everyones heads turn when you enter a gas station/populated area.


..........When everyone asks you "what kind of car is that? It looks sweet........."

 

When you fill up in the morning and think someone siphoned your gas by the end of the day cuz its 2/3 gone.

 

When you plan your trip around which road has the most turns.

 

When you inspect the front of the car at night for new paint chips you've collected.

 

You say "It burns oil" and "it's normal" in the same sentence.

 

When you keep having to say "it's normal" when you start talking about your car.

 

When you fill up your gas tank and you and the gas attendant look for a some where to rest the gas cap on while fueling! I hate that!!!!

 

When you can release a soundtrack with 20 songs just from the different rattles in your car

 

I cut mine off. I wasnt letting that thing near my paint black paint.

.....Instead of writting the date as Oct 25, 2006 AD you now write the date as 987 days until FI.

 

Don't understand why their isn't something to hold it like in all cars.

 

When you have to explain how your engine works with doritos and a straw.

When someone fries their piston rings and you start laughing.

When they lasy at the DMV asks how many cylinders, you say "none" and she gets mad at you then eventually just writes 4 because it costs less to register a 4 cylinder. (true story)

When people ask you why you always are adding oil.

When you borrow a friends car and redline it saying "Only 6000?" and they're punching you in the head.

when you mess with the guy at Autozone by asking for replacement cams for your Rx-8.

 

There is a thing to hold it. When you open the gas door...theres a little 'hook' type thing on the right...simply put the wire from the fuel cap through there and it holds it perfectly.

 

i'll try it thanks.

 

Hey ceez - - - What is a gas attendent? Does your state have people that pump your gas for you?????

Oh, and - You know you own an 8 when you would rather listen to the engine than the radio.

 

In NJ we only have full service gas stations, by law you can't pump your own gas.

 

same thing happened to me. i tried explaining the idea of a rotary and started drawing a diagram but it was lost on her and she just wrote 4.

 

when you look out at a parking lot and remind yourself that there is no car in the parking lot that has the same engine as yours..

when you race a car and you notice them shifting before you do

when you laugh at your friends wen they try to get in the car and the fold down the front seat because they dont know that you have suicide doors!! <---favorite lol !!!!

 

Sell your car. Please. This and the visor comment frusterated me. Haha. Maybe cause the gas one is so true to me, but I love my ride regardless!

 

Haha, that's great!

 

And you start crying and/or regret you didnt get the clear bra if you discover one.

 

...when you wish mazda would come out with a 1.5 liter version so you could have more power... but you wonder how much the mileage would drop.

 

they say the small displacement is what really gives the rotary it's power. 1.3L seems to be the magic number. Bigger or smaller would be less efficient.

 

When your front passenger asks you to turn the heater off because the passenger floor and console are radiating heat. (true story)

 

When you discover that the compartment between the rear seats is perfect for 2 quarts of oil and a shop towel.
