- You have a standing appointment at the dealer for a re-flash of your PCM every three months.
- You keep a spare set of front brake pads in your trunk right next to the oil.
- You laugh at all the fart-cannon cars running by you then you catch them in the curves and laugh even more.
- You'd swear there's a sign on your rear bumper that says "TAILGATE ME, PELASE".
- Manage to draw attention at both Neiman-Marcus and Wal-Mart.

- Some strange man stops you at a red light to comment on your car.
- You are 10 minutes late for work already, yet still find yourself waiting for your car to warm up
- You have a car with 238 hp and redlines at 9,000 RPM, but if you keep it below 5k it's considered 'abuse'

You know you're an RX8 owner
.....when your parking space is a longer walk than it took you to drive there
.....when you can't sleep at night and you need to see your 8 "just one more time"
.....when you do a 360 around the 8 just to make sure it's nice and shiny.....and then you go ahead anyhow and wax it "just one more time"
.....when you walk into a pole because you were looking back at your parked 8
.....when you turn down the volume to your favorite song because you'd rather hear the purr of the rotaries
.....when your eyes are hurting because you've been staring at a computer screen for way too long (on the 8 website of course!)

...When you set Tirerack.com as your home page.
...When your significant other finds you having quaility time with your 8's tailpipe.
...When you PS2 Force Feedback Wheel is your other ride.

you know you're an RX8 owner when....
-you find yourself parking backwards in every parking space...just so when you are walking away you can see the sexy curves of the front end, and when you are walking back you can see just what makes this car so beautiful....not to mention those headlights...DAMN
-you wait 7 seconds before you throw your car into reverse to shut off traction control, just to feel what this baby can really do! :p

when you still haven't gotten used to taking out the various plastic clips all over the car, of which there seem to be a limitless number of variations that cause frustration because they never come out as easily as expected...
