when...
 

You wonder why Mazda didn't put MORE rotary accents in and on the car.

You drive 10 miles out of your way to find the closest Sunoco with 93 Ultra.

You find yourself wondering, on a daily basis, why EVERY car isn't a rotary (see above...and below).

You buy stock in Castrol because you read RX8 sales were up last month.

You tell every car enthusiast you know that "yeah, it's a maintenance requirement to redline it."

You skip to chapter 13 in X-men 2 on a weekly basis.

...When you pull up to work in the new ride and suddenly the CEO stops you to strike up a conversation about your car.

...When the rest of upper management leaves their assorted BMW 5-series/Range Rovers to walk over and drool over your car.

...When you take a second job to be able to afford gas for the car.:icon_no2:

When you are seriously considering not having something repaired on your car, even though it won't cost you anything, simply because you don't wanna be without your car for a day/don't want those tools working in/on/around it.:)

I HEAR THAT BROTHER! I may need new tires and i sure as hell don't want anyone scratching my new rims!!!!

when Flemington Mazda F**Ks you on your warranty and tell you that your engine is special and that problems are normal/expected.

...when everytime you have to go somewhere in the family SUV, you watch your 8 as you pull out of the drive and you feel like you are cheating.

... when you revive a 4 year old thread to tell why you might be a RX8 owner
... when people at your workplace suddenly want to race you because their Nissian Maxima is "really fast"
... when poeple at your workplace are in the parking lot say "which supervisor/manager got a new car now" and you've only been at the company for 8 months.

When you get 60 miles out of a half tank of gas. Mods are fun but boy do they affect fuel efficiency.

...when you find yourself yelling "CLOSE THE BACK DOOR FIRST!"

You' re an rx8 owner...
When you realize why ots called a 350z....cuz when u pass it on the streets ur telling it zeeee u later

^ Too right you are! :lol:

:rofl:
... when you inform the people around your car that it's powered by 2 iron doritos

:banghead: I hate it when someone tries shutting the front door first.

[QUOTE=Razz1;1778290]When you sh t your pants because you wnet too fast around a corner.......[/QUOTE

right you are.

You know you're a new RX-8 owner

... when your gf starts saying (jokingly... I think) you spend more time with your car than her
... when you turn into a self-taught mechanic/modder overnight by spending inordinate amounts of time on RX8club
... when people you don't know start talking to you in parking lots, etc

Asking how many cylinders it has haha. And then saying "So, that's like a V6?"

Damn! Thread revival from 4 years ago :eek:

When you listen to the exhaust more than the radio

Its ok to resurrect some threads. This is a fun thread. Its not like its an oil discussion thread that was resurrected. Just think in 4 years someone may resurrect your thread regarding cutting your spings. I hope I'm still around so I can laugh all over again. :lol:

......you cringe at the thought of a valet

When someone asks about the car and you say "Search Noob"


:fruit:

When you take it in for maintenance and put a sign in the window saying do not cut off until warm or you'll be paying for any fouled plugs

When you stop modding cuz you know it's a matter of time before something goes wrong and you'll have to use that money for maintenance

When you tell your friends eff you cuz I redline higher

When you tell the hicks idgaf about your ford trucks race me down a curvy road

... you go to lunch with a work buddy, he says, "I'll drive," and keeps walking toward your car.

...you smile at the thought of highway on-ramps
...passengers panic when you're taking a left turn at 55
...you tell female passengers "no shirts allowed" and they comply

...you remember the Fast & Furious line "i live my life 1/4 at a time" and say "better be curvy or not worth my time"

My personal favorite

^ Love it haha

It's locked.... :sad:

your knees always have dark bruises on them because you been cornering like a mad man in the 8.
the handbrake lever is the perfect place to rest your hand when not shifting.
when it rains, you just want to turn off the traction control to kick the tail out in a left turn, and smile.
you feel guilty when you see your 8 getting dirty.
you do a "preflight" check before driving off your 8.

I do this daily :rock:
