When you go back and play GTA San Andreas all over againg because you put the modded Rx-8 in the game and you think the free style doors in the game are "Bad ***" and you wish you could behave the same way in real life. as you do in Los Santos.

When you watch a Mazda commercial and you think the little guy that says "zoom zoom" is understating the facts.

Rattle-free....

No way mine rattles...at about 7000 revs I used to notice a slight metallic bell sound, until I held it there and isolated the cause.

My watchband was jingling at that rpm! The noisiest thing in MY car is my friggin watchstrap!!

When you travel over 1,200kms (one way) to drive around a race track for one day, with 7 other 8 owners you never met before.

At the track you meet 43 other 8 owners who all paid lots of money to a guy they never met before and everyone has a really great time.

Your definition of courage is realising that 9 floors down in an underground car park you only have one bar left on the fuel gauge (the other half stole the car again!) and the Z in car park next to you has just reved his engine to a valve bouncing 5,000 rrpm...

Talking

YOU KNOW YOU OWN AN RX-8 WHEN...
-When ya give your kids money for the bus as you are leaving in your 8, and you are all going to the same mall...
-When you named that "Car squiggle light" "The Bon Jovi Light" because it was lit so much it needed a nickname (Remember Slippery When Wet!)
-When you can go into detail about your rotory engine with strangers...and you are a girl!
-When you make up fake food you need just to drive your 8 to the store one last time that day
-When you get "busted" staring at your 8 while talking to a friend in your driveway
-When you won't take your $1200 dog in your 8 because he might shed on your leather...and you actually bought the dog to ride in your 8 because you thought it would look cool
-You put on your custom RX-8 car cover ..and it's parked in the garage
-You add oil so much you have it down to an exact science, and could actually do it at a red light.
-You won't leave your 8 at the dealership "Alone" for any reason and actually think that those "filthy ba$tardz" are up to something and ask to watch
-You actually look at how dirty someone is before saying "yeah ok, I'll give you a ride home"

When a beautiful girl asks to give you a hand job, just so she can sit in your car.

you're an RX-8 owner when you are *seriously* considering the idea of driving from northern Virginia, all the way to Monterey, California, just so you can drive your RX-8 at a track day/driving school on Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca

i need help

you know you're owned when you're walking down the street and you hear *that* sound and you stop and watch an RX-8 go by and you get such a kick out of it that when you get back to your RX-8 you drive with the windows down...even when it's raining

Only I actually did drive from Washington state to Laguna Seca one week after I got my car in December 2003.


I forgot to check and seek if the track would be open when I got there though.



Did not get to drive on the track in 03, but I have taken classes since and have been driving at PIR (Portland International Raceway) and Pacific Raceway since. Due for another trip to California. This time I will make sure the track is open and I will have an SCCA license to boot.

You know you're an RX-8 owner when your gf smacks you in the chest every time your attention is at another RX-8 and instead of her.

Now I don't know if I have a heartache or I'm internally bruised

When...

-You have to take your car to the dealership and you're not worried that they can't fix it, you're worried they'll take it away and never bring it back.
-You hear "beeeeeeeeeep" in your dreams as you near red-line.
-You hear "beeeeeeeeeep" in your head as you near orgasm (this works for males and females).
-On your way to work you pass through a clover-leaf freeway interchange and use all four before resuming your commute.
-You think the Nurburgring would make "a nice little commute".
-Someone asks when was the last time you've raced your 8, and you have to look at your watch.
-You suspect your car burns gas while its turned off.
-The kids in the Hondas keep asking where you got the "cool wheel arch flares".
-Someone asks what was the last car you owned before your 8, and you reply, "It doesn't matter now."
-You go to the track and find guys with shifter karts looking at you enviously.
-You don't understand 22" wheels and the phrase "bling-bling".
-You actually honor your commitment to "save gas by being gentle with the throttle" for about 30 seconds of your commute each day. The FIRST 30 seconds!
