- your wife gets you the Imported $70 RX-8 Transformer toy for Christmas
- you get your kids the 1:16 NIKKON Silver Remote Control Rx-8 toy for Christmas
- you wonder why the kids' remote control car is only $20 and the transfomer was $70
- you dont open your $70 RX-8 Transformer and plan to play with the $20 US plastic version.
- as of christmas your RX8 toy collection is a 1:64 AutoArt, SuperSlick remote control car, X2 RX-8 remote control car, the kids' remote control car, RX8 Transformer...and that isn't enough!!

- you plan on getting Gran Turismo 4 just to play with the RX-8
- went back to Gran Turismo 3 after you remembered it had the concept/pre-production RX-8

------------

- you get a car wash (touchless, of course) and the folks are cleaning the interior, you run over and swing open the freestyle doors, and they give you a big "hora le!" with a big thumbs up...and the rest of the people waiting stare at you with envy...and you think to yourself, 'Yup thats mine."
- you think to yourself, "yup, thats mine" more than 8 times a day.

You still don't understand why people in these type of cars flip out and wave at you all the time.

After a long highway drive, and driving through town, your wife says "Why are you driving so slow?" and you respond by saying; "Umm....we're going the speed limit." :D

You know you're an RX-8 owner when...

- You put a deposit on a car you'd never even seen in the flesh.
- When you bought your car, you knew more about it than the dealer did.
- ....you still know more about your car than the dealer does.

- When your friends are driving your car, you encourage them to red-line it.
- You chuckle to yourself everytime you see the "car with squiggly lines" light come on.
- You have the "car with squiggly lines" light on all the time.
- You drive as much with your thumb as you do with your foot (cruise control).

You offer to do the grocery shopping but the ice cream melts because you went to the store 2 towns away.
You have to stop for gas on the way to and from the grocery store.
