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

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

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.

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.

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!

...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.
