-you get jelous when you see other cars with a spare tire
-you see a sticker that says "Zoom-Zoom" and you think in the RX-8 it should be upside down.
-you constaly check the "Aftermarket Perfomance and Mazdaspeed" section of this forum to see if there is a new upgrades.
-you forget about above mention items when you realize when your car handle better than almost everything out there.
-Doritos is your favorite snack.
-you use Doritos to explain how a rotary works.

I can't really relate to the quotes with "your wife...". Some of us have husbands. Is there any way to reword those, or replace them with some of the other ideas? There are some really good ones posted.

The later is almost like saying that owning an RX-8 is what makes you an RX-8 owner. You need to make the reason a little more distanced.
Wow, uh,,, what? Am I the only one who doesn't understand this? I thought that owning an RX-8 really does make you an RX-8 owner. Need more input please...

Ah! I see what you mean. It makes a lot of sense when you combine the common first part with this "symptom"...

You know you're an RX-8 owner when you have tried to get your car to hug you back.
and not
You know you're an RX-8 owner when you have tried to get your 8 to hug you back.

Agreed! Nice catch!

Polak, I'm gonna be a bit critical now, ok?

1) The rotor lost it's equal sided-ness.
2) I don't get the 10mm bolt one.
3) RX-7, not 944.
4) A hot trunk & cup holders and the flooding issue are not things I want to advertise.
5) RotaryGod is an inside joke, not funny / misunderstood by non-forum types.

OK, that's all. Hope I didn't **** you off.

No you didn't **** me off but I am going to challange you on a few things.

1. Perspective see attached image below my rotor fits that one 95% in the places.

2. If you don't get the 10mm one you need to wrench on your car some more.

3. Well the 944 is what makes it funny, its the whole joke that most rx8 owners have no idea what the heritage behind the car is, some will know the 3rd gen but throw a 2nd gen infront of them and most will scratch their heads.

4. I'll get rid of the cup holder one cuz its not that great if you have a repacement... Far as the flooding one it pretty whitty i'd like to keep it.

5. I'll change this one too unless fred had his heart set on it or any of you like it alot.

Given that the shirt does directly proclaim rx8club.com, I think it entirely appropriate to have at least *one* forum-centric one in there. I'd leave the RotaryGod one in.

I would, however, lose the sexual-innuendo ones. Not that I have anything against sexual innuendo, but in this case I think it just cheapens the thing.

A lot of really good ones there. I'm looking forward to buying.

hey.. yea i would get rid of the rotor, but keep the pic of the car. and yea, make the font bigger, i dont want people butt ******* me while reading my shirt..

a lot of the quotes are awesome, but i would exchange a few out for more funnier ones. ive literally fallen out of my chair by reading a few that i read on this thread (dont exactly remeber which one ) but whatever u end up doing, im still gona get the shirt

btw, instead of "drawwing a diagram for explanation" or whatever, write about the keychain

Yes... you've utterly mastered the art of closing the trunk without touching the paint at all.

You walk an extra 10 min to get into every store because you parked your 8 a 1/4 mile away in fear of someone dinging your doors.

When someone wants to race you, you say out of your window to them "hold on for 10 seconds" While you push in the DSC / TSC disengage.

You don't have to proove your car is faster than a honda civic with an exhaust kit, so you let the morons put their show on for everyone to laugh at

When you look in your rearview mirror at the car you are "leaving" more than you look through the front windshield.

When you talk to your car. And name her Snow White (White Water Pearl Owners)

You get asked, "what is that car" and you shake your head with a tiny grin and reply back, "you wouldn't understand"

You set your own cone obstacle course in yoru neighborhood.
