- your wife gets you the Imported $70 RX-8 Transformer toy for Christmas
- you get your kids the 1:16 NIKKON Silver Remote Control Rx-8 toy for Christmas
- you wonder why the kids' remote control car is only $20 and the transfomer was $70
- you dont open your $70 RX-8 Transformer and plan to play with the $20 US plastic version.
- as of christmas your RX8 toy collection is a 1:64 AutoArt, SuperSlick remote control car, X2 RX-8 remote control car, the kids' remote control car, RX8 Transformer...and that isn't enough!!

meladdin 01-03-2005 08:46 AM

- you plan on getting Gran Turismo 4 just to play with the RX-8
- went back to Gran Turismo 3 after you remembered it had the concept/pre-production RX-8

------------

- you get a car wash (touchless, of course) and the folks are cleaning the interior, you run over and swing open the freestyle doors, and they give you a big "hora le!" with a big thumbs up...and the rest of the people waiting stare at you with envy...and you think to yourself, 'Yup thats mine."
- you think to yourself, "yup, thats mine" more than 8 times a day.

L8APEX 01-03-2005 08:50 AM

...when you have a 1:18 scale diecast model of your car, on your desk, same color and all.

MRX_Rotary 01-03-2005 08:00 PM

You still don't understand why people in these type of cars flip out and wave at you all the time.

PoLaK 01-03-2005 08:11 PM

You keep wondering why "Porshce 944" drivers keep waving at you.

philodox 01-03-2005 09:06 PM

When you wash your 8 more than you wash yourself :eek:

cstokes24 01-03-2005 09:13 PM

When you shat yourself everytime you hear an alarm going off out of fear that it might be your 8.

Morgan 01-04-2005 09:43 AM

when you walk out of a building w/people, look at the 8 and go, "wow..thats a hot car...oh wait, thats MY car!"

I've actually done that

shelleys_man_06 01-04-2005 10:04 AM

...when you think you're faster than a 911 Turbo (inside joke). Confidence rules.

Wildcard 01-04-2005 04:20 PM

You know you're an RX-8 owner when...

- You put a deposit on a car you'd never even seen in the flesh.
- When you bought your car, you knew more about it than the dealer did.
- ....you still know more about your car than the dealer does.

Wildcard 01-04-2005 04:27 PM

- When your friends are driving your car, you encourage them to red-line it.
- You chuckle to yourself everytime you see the "car with squiggly lines" light come on.
- You have the "car with squiggly lines" light on all the time.
- You drive as much with your thumb as you do with your foot (cruise control).

HELAS 01-05-2005 02:09 PM

when everyone goes out of their way to drive past or walk around your car in the parking lot

HELAS 01-05-2005 02:10 PM

These are Great everybody. I think we can say that we all do "everything" listed above. Iknow I do and thats why i am laughing so hard right now. Keep up the good stories and the amazing driving.

SilverStreak 01-05-2005 02:25 PM

When you never knew that Nissan made a sportscar....until you passed one!

HELAS 01-05-2005 02:25 PM

Ploak, WOW man, awsome work! Both, the 7 and the 8 design's work. You should offer a rx8 shirt that is the same as the rx-7 one aswell

MX6_2_RX8 01-05-2005 02:41 PM

You offer to do the grocery shopping but the ice cream melts because you went to the store 2 towns away.
You have to stop for gas on the way to and from the grocery store.

Good one!

No More Oldsmobiles 01-05-2005 03:01 PM

When your commute includes "find a safe parking spot" time.

(Mine does.)

jenkins-crew 01-05-2005 03:11 PM

when you go sideways just because you can..........

MX6_2_RX8 01-05-2005 03:13 PM

It takes 5 minutes at the town hall when you register it to answer the question “Is it a 2 door or a 4 door?” (Just happened to me, we ended up at 2 I think)

jenkins-crew 01-05-2005 03:14 PM

when your wife wants you to get exhaust............

1. You let your friends drive your car???
2. Heehehehehe

Wildcard 01-05-2005 04:17 PM

- Everyone now greets you with "...so, how's the RX-8 going?"
- You finished reading this thread (shirt) and went for a drive. (I did!)

yanksfan1_67 01-05-2005 05:14 PM

When you drive by an outdoor basketball court and the game stops so the players can stare at your car.

When little elementary school kids (boys and girls) take the time to stop and ask you about your car.

When elderly ladies walking out of Walmart take the time to compliment you on your car.

Paul_in_DC 01-05-2005 05:26 PM

When you wave at somebody you know from your car, but they don't notice you waving because they're looking at the car.

When you see another RX-8 on the highway, and you suddenly realize "DAMN that car looks hot!" :)

Hellblazer 01-09-2005 05:46 PM

You know your a Rx8 lover when the only photo of your wife is while she poses on the hood of your car.

cooldriver88 01-09-2005 09:09 PM

-When you scare the shit out of your friends who are use to being in SUVs. Then they get in the RX-8 and you take them on really windy roads that are suppose to be 25 mph and you are going 65 mph

- When it gets really tempting not to do burnouts at every light

-When you hear your tires chirp from 1st to 2nd and you just smile

-When you drive at 5,000 rpms just so when you floor it you will have torque

mtnpass 01-09-2005 10:13 PM

Your trip to the store to get some juice takes an hour and a half....

You wake up in the morning and look forward to going out in the cold to start your car....

You never miss leaving the cd's in your other car.....

Citibank sends you Birthday and Christmas cards just to say Thank You....

cooldriver88 01-09-2005 10:35 PM

You know you are a rx-8 driver when you have never seen the MPG that your car is suppose to get.

Polygon 01-09-2005 10:43 PM

..flash flood warnings make you mad because you just washed your car

..everyone you know finds out you have a new car before you get the chance to brag

MX6_2_RX8 01-10-2005 08:00 AM

You know you’re an RX-8 owner when you have one of the most fun, hottest cars there is BUT . . . you can’t drive it because it is in the shop for a CEL (or) the battery is dead (or) there is snow on the ground (or) you are driving your 1 Ton truck because it gets better gas mileage.

Or when you are ready to wear a t shirt with the top 10 reasons for loving the 8.

jenkins-crew 01-11-2005 10:21 PM

When your boss asks you to lunch and says he's driving your car :D

dazygirl415 01-12-2005 01:13 PM

when you pick up a to-go order and the server refers to you as "the chick with the cool car"

dazygirl415 01-12-2005 01:23 PM

when your co-workers notice your mods before you can tell them about them

gusmahler 01-12-2005 07:41 PM

When you get 18 mpg from a tank of gas . . . and you're surprised at the sudden increase in gas mileage.

spaldo 01-12-2005 11:41 PM

when:
you spend all your spare time looking at this forum, because you love reading how much everyone loves their car
you just want to keep driving and will make up any excuse to go somewhere in your 8
you wash your car at least once a week

Genesis 01-13-2005 08:06 AM

A new set of forged rims takes precedence over that damn wedding ring you were going to buy.

Genesis 01-13-2005 08:11 AM

You go to a car auction, look through the lot and end up buying your 8 all over again :D
