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.

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

- 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)

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.

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

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!
