You know you're an RX-8 owner when...
 
Copied this off the 7's, hehe. But it is so much fun!



You've kept food warm using the cup holders as ovens.

You've tried to get your 8 to hug you back like in that commercial.

You always turn around after parking to gaze longingly back at your 8.

You've tried to shoot flames from your exhaust.



Any others? :)

You calculate gas mileage at every gas station.

You hear "waaaaaa...beeeep...waaaaaa...beeeep...waaaaaa...b eeeep" when shifting.

JmurphRx8 12-14-2004 09:35 AM

...When you have your own designated pump at the gas station :D

afeldman327 12-14-2004 10:03 AM

-you turn the music down to hear the engine

-your passengers don't realize you just took a highway onramp doing 70

-you spend 2 hours at work each day on RX8club.com reading about your car

Genesis 12-14-2004 10:09 AM

Your wife gives you an ultimatum...and you keep the 8 :eek:

guy321 12-14-2004 10:12 AM

You see a hot chick in the car next to you, smile and then your breaks squeal like a stuck pig and she laughs.

Genesis 12-14-2004 10:29 AM

You know you're an RX-8 owner when...
 
Somebody says they love the 350Z and you immediately puke :)

LOL good one

rotten42 12-14-2004 10:43 AM

You wash your car 3 times a week.

rotten42 12-14-2004 10:45 AM

You have more images stored on your computer of RX8's than you do of your family

rotten42 12-14-2004 10:50 AM

- you will not park next to any car unless its worth 10k more than your RX8 (no door dings)

- its takes you 45 kms to get to work....when in fact the most direct route is only 20k.


- you now carry a digital camera in your car - you never know when that perfect picture moment may come

- girls smile at you in your car (you pretend they are interested in you and not the car)

haha! too right!

ZoomZoomH 12-14-2004 10:53 AM

you turn down (or turn off) the stereo to hear the symphony that is the Renesis :D

Dark8 12-14-2004 10:53 AM

When you replace the OEM tires and realize you can now hear the engine.
When people keep asking how many cylinders it has and you reply "None."
When your ex-wife tries to raise your child support because you could afford an "expensive" sports car.
When you spend more time on a car club internet site than you spend with your kids.
When you would rather sell your house than your car.

Genesis 12-14-2004 10:58 AM

You're given a choice between your 8 and a career as a rock star, but you choose the 8 :)

djvelocitee 12-14-2004 11:03 AM

Friends and co-workers seem to need rides home ....ALOT MORE......

you have the RX-8 screensaver on EVERY server and workstation in the company...and lock it so it cant be changed. :D

over all........happier :)

Genesis 12-14-2004 11:07 AM

The sexy chick in your office who normally shuns you finds out you have an 8 and finally your THE MAN!

phee 12-14-2004 11:31 AM

Everytime you walk out of your house, office, the store, etc., and see your 8 waiting for you, you think, "Damn, that's one fine looking car!".

Your kids/coworkers/friends always want to ride with you when forming a caravan. And you always volunteer to drive!

menace1227 12-14-2004 11:34 AM

You always look back to where you parked your 8 and say to your self "Damn, she's a real beauty!"

guy321 12-14-2004 11:37 AM

You wait for 4 hours for the tow guy to come because you forgot the "short move" procedure!

You play with your dipstick ALOT.

Genesis 12-14-2004 11:37 AM

Images of a Lotus Elise surf your way and you still feel better....

Nubo 12-14-2004 11:50 AM

You're dreaming that you're in the 8 having trouble getting into reverse, then you wake up and your wife is.... nevermind :o

VooDoo 12-14-2004 12:00 PM

More...
 
- 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.

Just a few...

You never let your wife drive your car.

Your tires are cleaner than you are.


You look down on people who settled for a Boxster

when you get buried in concrete everything looks brilliant black.

Slims8 12-14-2004 01:13 PM

- 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'

zoom44 12-14-2004 01:41 PM

no need for 2 of these threads. merged.

Mr. Samurai 12-14-2004 01:47 PM

You know when your and RX8 owner when.....you bought the car!!!!

RX8rider 12-14-2004 03:01 PM

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!)

NoPistonsHere 12-15-2004 11:34 AM

....When you are giving the Thumbs up to other RX8 owners on the freeways/streets.

guy321 12-15-2004 11:41 AM

The plastic parts on your seat are all scuffed yet NO POSSIBLE part of your body or person could have been touching that part!

Spin9k 12-15-2004 11:46 AM

...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.

I've not done the onramp at 70 because I always seem to have someone in front of me!

Also, at my job, they BLOCK RX8club.com!!!!! :eek:

the car has your name on it :cool:

little666devil 12-21-2004 12:11 PM

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 :rolleyes:

canaryrx8 12-21-2004 03:16 PM

triangles take on a whole new meaning :) and you look for them in everything you see, from buildings to billboards and......

foxman 12-23-2004 01:04 AM

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...

When your friend says "Wow, it's like I'm in a race car" and you smile and say "That's because you are..."
