im not gonna read thru all of this so here is mine :

Your passengers tell you that your phone is ringing, then you tell them its not your phone, its just that your motor is turning 9k rpm...then they say "really, i could barley tell the motor was running" ahh the smoothness of the rotor motor!

You use the center console to keep coffee warm and reheat grilled cheese sandwhices

you develop x-ray vision to look through the HUGE blind spots caused by the thick B and C pillars :o

Your A/C is runnin' full blast.... and its winter!...and your still hot!
Your dog's name is Wankel.
When 6000RPM is considered the START of the power band.

You Floor it when you see the street sign..."Dangerous Curve Ahead"
You DOUBLE the "Exit MPH posting"

When you plan your trips according to gas station placement? ;)

When you almost crash from taking turns too hard because you're "trying to get the rainwater out of that dimple in the hood."

I've done that before... taking hard turns to get the water out of the rotar :)

Just get it out by using hard acceleration :) .

or HARD braking :o

You see a curve, :D drop a gear, hit the gas, :p and observe the carange in the rearview mirror. :p :p

when your car sounds like a jet in 6th gear, 140 mph

How many RPMs is it doing at 140 MPH in 6th gear? I want to do that many RPM in second and pretend... :-D

:lol: I love that! Might have to be the name of my next pooch.

Every day you get in your car there is a random rattling that pops up in a different place each time.

Yep

around 7000, but it will not sound the same in 2nd gear. trust me. ive done it all, even 9,500 rpm in first. still doesnt compare

u know your an rx-8 owner when you have a keychain of a rotary so you can explain to all the idiots wut a wankel engine is

i wish there were some places around here i could do 140 and not A) die and/or B) go to jail, go directly to jail...

How about when you have to argue with the garage thats doing your state inspection, when he says "its a 4 cylinder right" and you go "it has no cylinders" and hes like "well yeah its a 4 cylinder". And you shut up because rather than explain to him that you are not an idiot and he is, it is so much less work to simply say yes its 4, gimme my sticker

Can't say this one applies to me. The only rattle I hear in my car is my sunglasses in the overhead compartment. I have around 33,000 kilometres on my baby.

I get rattles all over that come and go, very annoying, mines only 18 months old

mine is 4 months old, and ive had noises since day 1. the transmission area is very poorly made. we got :banghead:

Had mine for almost 13 months. Not a single creak or rattle to be found(*knocks on wood) :)

when you keep checking the gas gauge and see it go down before your eyes. And when you see that little orange light, it really means get to a gas station asap :P
