When you take a corner a 80 mph and your buddy in the passenger seat says "HOLY ****, this thing sticks to the road like glue!"

 

When you get in and everyone says nice things about the red/black interior.

 

When peaple who dont normally wear their seatbelts get in your car automatically buckle up before you even start the engine.

 

This one is perverted but gotta say it, When you can see what color the panties are of the chick in your passenger side rear seat. yeah baby!

 

and then get excited because you realize what you can see is another hidden triangle!

 

Tmi!!!

 

thats a crack up (no pun intended)

 

That was mildly disturbing, actually.

 

A lot.

 

you know youre driving an 8 when people ask you what kind of car it is.....and when you tell them, they look

 

You know you drive a Rotary, when winter comes along and you start wondering if maybe the white smoke coming from the exhaust isn't JUST because it's cold out...

 

You worry when the temps go about 100F.

 

When you have nightmares of your 8 been trashed or stolen, or worse still, flooding in front of your friends

 

you spend all day at work browsing the rx8 club website

 

^ guilty as charged, lol

 

when your friends ask you to rev the engine so they can see flames shoot out the exhaust.

 

When you are constantly being asked, "how fast are you going?"

When you are having the worst day, but then getting it up to 9k somehow is the automatic cure for your problems.

When your friends ask you why you rev the engine after a 30 second drive and you have to constantly explain that if you were to cut the engine off, it wouldn't start.

When you burn one of your friends that knows about cars, and they say, "your rotary sounded good when it was flying past me at 9k rpms."

When you are always the one that says "can we stop for gas before we go? I'm out."


CHHHEEEEEAAAAAAAAA!

 

When you don't think your car isn't all that dirty, you wash it anyways, and you realize how good looking it is every single time you look at it.

When you don't have to brake around turns.

When you try to make the tires squeel and they just won't.

When your friends always want to ride with you, but you have no problem at all driving.

I could go on forever.

 

...When someone mentions that you "seem like you are spending to much time with your car" and you storm out and slam the door yelling something to the extent of how you cant choose who you love!

 

in general... you know you drive an 8 when you have an 8. Driving an 8 is a surreal feeling in my opinion still. its just like driving a dream.

 

when you have just gone to the body shop to retrieve her, after a week, you notice and mention that the paint job isnt the right color, but you just have to drive it up the street to run a quick errand, bring it back in 5 minutes and pick up the rental again.(true story) the shop manager thought I was NUTS..

I love my 8. (was rear ended).

 

" But honey you can't rev to 9000 RPMS at the simple push of a pedal "

 

You consider trading it in but every other car you drive does not handle as well.

 

... you borrow your dad's old Mercedes Diesel and revs it to 3000 rpm before shutting it down...

 

You see paranoid trolls posting everyday worrying about blown engines and engine maintenance.
