When you call the Mazda rep dumb because he said you cant compression test a rotary... no I'm not kidding

When you answer the old cylinder question with none and the guy looks at you and states "You obviously don’t know much about cars do you."

When your wife keeps begging you.... come on, when you gonna let me drive it..
When your 17 yr old daughter, now does not mind going out to dinner and taking Dad's RX8 instead of Mom's Honda Pilot...
When your 17 yr old daughter says,,, Dad your car is too cool!
When your 10 yr old daughter says, Dad go faster!!!

I love my 8. (was rear ended).
When the body shop keeps the car for a week longer than they estimated... because the painter is a rotor-head and won't let the car go until he can match the paint...perfectly

Car was keyed...

When people say there's no way that seats four, then they try it out and can't believe how comfortable the back seat is.

When your insurance drops $60 a month when you trade in your Eclipse GT for an 8. Love the "4-door sedan" insurance classification.

When you finally do see another one you blink your lights and wave furiously at each other.

When you can recognize another 8 coming at night by their headlights, and get it right every time.

When you see another 8 ahead of you, you hope for it to have some super-hot girl driving it, and you play out the whole stop-light chat in your mind. Then when you pull up next to it at the red light you find out it's some 50 year-old guy.
