And then spend $500 more on a light flywheel to get the other 3.

 

then another 1500 on a EMS to get 8

 

& you think you've done well !

 

when you get beat off the line by an integra GSR.. or a civic SI, or an rsx type S.. or an....

 

...when Honda trolls can take their even slower Honda's and think they can make fun of the 8.

 

you know you drive an rx8 when you gotta go FI, drop the back seats and passenger seats just to run in the 13's

 

when your car has flood damage and it dindt even go near water..

 

when you gotta go 2 the mazda dealer for maintenece because started it up., backed it out of the driveway 10 feet and shut it off..

 

go away.

 

When you get a lot of trolls like this one.

 

When people put down your car to any extent - and you don't care because you know that they obviously just don't get it.

 

When you just bought the car because it was cool - but you become a forum dwelling rotor head without realising it is happening.

 

Amen.

 

You grin like hell when you can turn your car from throttle lift and straighten it out by touching the throttle Try that in a front wheel drive.

You couldn't care less if a 300+ HP econobox pulls on the straight - its still an econobox


oh crap... lost interest in this

 

You know you own an Rx series Mazda when your girlfriend is Jealous of your car because you talk about it with more passion.

My girlfriend said to me today. "I wish you would talk about me like that. When you mention that car your eyes light up and you find any excuse to slip it into conversation and explain how it works. Maybe once you could randomly bring me up to your friends and brag about MY parts."

 

when you give your mom a ride and you charge her for gas money

 

When you start referring to your 8 as "My precious, my precious."

 

when you instinctively wave at other rx8 drivers although you're driving your work truck

 

When you wonder why the car didn't come with auto climate control.

 

^^^I HATE auto climate systems, they drive me nuts! I always have to tweak it everytime to what I want so what's the point?
I like our system, fan contol and temp ***** (no buttons to click a zillion times), and AC and defrost buttons. Only thing I'd change is the button select for air direction, always scrolling through the diff options. just my 2 cents...

 

I just think the setup looks nicer than our car and it's more stuff to light up in our LCD display panel on the center dahs. I usually don't use Auto either.

When you have side turn signal lights that just light as side markers.

 

^^^
-"Ur turn signals dont work man; they're stuck on..."
-"Those arent turn signals"
-

 

when you are constantly fixing paint chips due to the weak paint durability.

 

when the wife gets mad everytime you get in it. When old people stare at it. When u suddenly become the towns most popular person.when u spend 90 dollars for a can of wax and 20 dollars for a 16 oz bottle of quick detail. When u actually get tired of seeing people checkin u out as u drive by. The RX-8 is one bad *** vehicle.

 

Ok we get it.
