Talking 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.

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.

... 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.

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

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

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.

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
