1. You've tried to get your 8 to hug you back.
2. Your wife gives you an ultimatum...and you keep the 8.
3. Your friends seem to need rides home ....ALOT MORE....
4. You play with your dipstick, too much and wonder if the white foamy stuff is normal.
5. You're dreaming that you're in the 8 having trouble getting into reverse, then you wake up and your wife is....
6. You manage to draw attention at both Neiman-Marcus and Wal-Mart.
7. Your parking space is a longer walk than it took you to drive there.
8. Your significant other finds you having quaility time with your 8's tailpipe.
9. You think about the car during sex... then your girlfirend thinks about it.
10. Your mailman is begining to think you have a facination with washing your car.
11. You can't figure out why a 10mm bolt holds EVERYTHING in the car together.
12. You wonder why "Porshce 944" drivers keep waving at you.
13. Your only photo of your wife is one while she poses on the hood of your car.
14. You no longer think about water when "flash flood warnings" are announced.
15. Your trunk replaces Domino's "Heat Wave"
16. You hear "long winded explaination", you think RotaryGod.
17. You hear BEEP at 6:30 in the AM and its not a bad thing.
18. You view speeding tickets as a "freedom tax" instead of a fine.
19. Your wife knows more about the car than your mazda dealer.
20. Your car gives rubbernecking new meaning.
21. Your wife enjoys driving a stick, but never drives the 8.
22. You draw diagrams on whatever you can find when someone asks, "whats under the hood".
23. You bought this shirt.

Need to get it down to 20, feel free to submit revisions if you think others were better.

When you are at the track, the sticker on the back of your car says :
"You've just been passed by a 1.3L"

When you are on vacation for 2 weeks and get back to the office you need to "catch up" on RX8 Club before you even consider catching up on work.

(too long for a tee shirt, I've been on vacation)

Here are my favorite's for a t-shirt....

You Know You’re An Rx-8 Owner When…





1. You've tried to get your 8 to hug you back
2. You play with your dipstick, too much and wonder if the white foamy stuff is normal
3. Your parking space is a longer walk than it took you to drive there
4. Your significant other finds you having quality time with your 8's tailpipe
5. Your mailman is beginning to think you have a fascination with washing your car
6. You can't figure out why a 10mm bolt holds EVERYTHING in the car together
7. You wonder why "Porsche 944" drivers keep waving at you
8. Your trunk replaces the Domino's "Heat Wave" bag
9. You hear "long winded explanation", and you think RotaryGod
10. Your wife knows more about the car than your Mazda dealer
11. Your wife enjoys driving a stick, but never drives the 8
12. You have to draw a diagram when someone asks, "What’s under the hood?"
13. When people keep asking how many cylinders it has and you reply "None”

14. When you have a 1:18 scale die cast model of your car, on your desk, same color and all
15. Your cup holders have either kept your coffee warm or fried your IPOD
16. You came up with a mod to hold a quart of 5W30 upright in your trunk
17. You have the RX8Club.com as you default page in your web browser
18. You’d rather risk a ticket than put a license plate on the front of your 8
19. You have Canzoomers number saved in speed-dial on your cell phone
20. You hear BEEEEEEEEP at
6:30 in the AM and its not a bad thing
