Ok Heres the top XX: (up to 20)
Any additions/changes welcome. You Know your a Rx-8 owner when: Your cupholders have either kept your coffee warm or fried your IPOD. Your parking space is a longer walk than it took you to drive there. Your significant other finds you spending too much quaility time with tailpipes. You keep a 10mm socket in your glovebox. (70%est of the blots/screws are 10mm) You wonder why "Porshce 944" drivers keep waving at you. You know that a large pizza from Domino's fits sungly in your trunk depression and replaces the "Heat Wave". You never knew that Nissan made a sportscar....until you passed one! You offer to do the grocery shopping but are dissappionted to see the ice cream has melted. You no longer think about water when "flash flood warnings" are announced. You bought this shirt. For comparision this is some of the stuff the 7club came up with: 1. You think that, "the '7' can't lose!" 2. You pull into the gas station and tell them to top off the oil and put a quart of gas in. 3. You have asked people if they want to play with your Wankel. 4. You know every bus schedule in town by heart. 5. You look into the men's urinal and see a rotor shaped sanitary cake. You chuckle. 6. You buy parts cars because it's cheaper than buying the actual part you need... 7. You carry a fire extinguisher in your car because you ACTUALLY think it might catch on fire. 8. The local cops have your car memorized, and know your name and address by heart. 9. Your girlfriend knows more about cars than most full-time mechanics. 10. You spend twice as much money on gas as you do on food. 11. You never surprise anyone; they can hear you coming for miles. 12. Your car can go over 100 mph with a 'blown' engine 13. You talk to your car and have named it after someone that you never had a chance with. 14. You downshift at 4500 RPM. 15. You wonder why they haven't bothered making cop cars faster. 16. You hear a chainsaw starting, you run to the window to make sure your car isn’t being stolen. 17. You think your car has feelings, and you try not to hurt them 18. You find your self yelling, "Where the hell is my 10 mm now?" 19. You have black burnout marks on your garage floor cause you were so damn happy it ran 20. You bought this shirt. This image will be included in the design. http://www.polakgraphics.com/images/...nverted%5d.jpg |
what shirt? :p
that one about spending time with tailpipes is true. I spend a good amount of time polishing the exhaust tips every morning. |
5. You look into the men's urinal and see a rotor shaped sanitary cake. You chuckle.
LMAO best on yet! :) |
From the Rx 7 list I vote to have #3 and 5 on the RX8 shirt.
I like the following IMO: You bought this shirt. Your wife gives you an ultimatum...and you keep the 8 You grin, just because you thought about your 8 You try to drive by buildings with glass to see your 8 in the reflection You walk out of a building with people and lookat the 8 and go"wow...that's a hot looking car...oh wait, thats MY car!" You didn't know Nissan made a sportscar ...until you passed one. The only photo of your wife in your wallet is her standing behind the 8 so as not to block the view. That's only 7 but I vote for those. |
Standing list.

Btw i only see 2 or 3 that i consider "negative". |
If someone asks "that got a V8?" you go into an explanation of the rotary engine that goes beyond what they wanted to know.

I of course like the one about the ice cream because it is mine and some people probably don't even get it (and might consider it a negative) I also like the downshift at 4500 RPM from the RX-7 shirt but I think you should add - 2 gears. I also like the previous post about the explanation. I'd drop off "you bought this shirt" too geeky. That's just me. |
when you put over 1,000 miles in the first week just to make sure its broken in
when a begger forgets he is begging when he walks up to your car (yes it happened to me) when your problem list reaches two pages, but you still love it. when your upgrade wish list costs more then the RX-8 when someone asks if its a v6 or inline 4 and you say, "yep" when you know how much oil is needed at every fill up when you know the price of gas at every station in town when you don't notice the eclipse gs-t reving back at you because you are too busy making music with your right foot (also happened to me) when every car kinda looks like an RX-8 at certain angles when you take the time to come up with a top ten list |
You are riding in someone elses car but you still remove your seatbeat and open the door to let someone out the back.
|
When people from my school ask me beat Honda ricers
|
Maybe we need to think about another idea for this here design. I vote for either a list of words that rhyme with RX-8, or the words all scatttered-about. Here's a few for starters... RX-8 annihilate never late fixate grrrrreat infatuate date bait masturbate :D Waddayall think? edit: colors done fixt. |
That white on white don't show up too good.
I don't know how they's be used but. Ice Skate (whoops, that was negative) |
You hear "long winded explaination", you think RotaryGod.
|
You get to work early so you can park your car just outside your window - facing you, smiling at you, ... sigh!
I'm glad I didn't bring lunch today - I have to drive to pick up lunch! |
An hour after your drive, you can still feel your hands buzzing.
|
You look down and realise that you have been driving at 5000rpm for the last 5 minutes.

I'll have to add: You are driving up a hill that you used to have to downshift in your former "mundane 4 cyl car" not to bog it down, and in the 8, you're in 5 gear at 40mph, and going up the hill, what do you do? ...give it a little more gas! That's it. :D Also: You've got some goober in a Ford TEMPO riding your butt in a neighborhood, when you can pull out on a main street (yield sign! ) you can do it at 30 mph without drama. (and they have to slow WAY down, and still look like they couldn't handle it! ;) ) |
You're sitting at a red light and hear honking. Only they're not honking at you, but rather the guy next to you because his light's been green for what seems like light years and he's staring at your car trying to either 1) figure out what it is, or 2) take in the beauty of this machine, or 3) both. This actually happened to me tonight on the way home from work. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this car?
|
Heh 1 liners guys, not thesis statements.
|
When you downshift in your sleep...
|
-When one single test drive sold you so completely on the 8 that you went ahead and took the beating of a lifetime on your trade-in, even though you swore you were going to wait and sell it yourself (and you don't even care)
-when "only going 70mph" makes you fidgety and annoyed that you're going so slow. |

You dream about it when you sleep.
You think about your 8 every sec of the day. |
When being upside-down in your car loan is a good thing...I'm in for $575/month.
|
You hear BEEP at 6:30 in the AM and its not a bad thing.
|
You all have a problem
just not as big as mine |
I be getting nightmares that something happens to my RX8.
$575/month..me too its all good the VA pays for mine |
When an Evo pulls up next to you at a stop light... you pretend to be fiddling with the stereo.
You cant sleep at night thinking- turbo or nitrous turbo or nitrous turbo or..... Your thinking of naming your future son Felix. There is a case of 5W20 in your trunk. |
when someone comes along and says, "hey, that car looks like a penis"
|
Yup, an extra quart of 5w20 in the TRUNK
|
Your smile has kind of a triangular shape to it. :D
|
When you view speeding tickets as a "freedom tax" instead of a fine
You try and use conversation about your car as leverage against the police Backfiring exhuast has eliminating the need for a horn You think of smooth ways to mention your car when picking up chicks You lightly rev other cars before you shut them down Your friends rev their cars for no reason when they shut down You picture potential dates in your passenger seat. Many fail the test. You've resorted to answering "Is there a V8 under the hood" with a yes You've grown accustomed to people riding in your blind spot...forever You hold your hand out the window on the freeway to feel for debris i dunno..im bored lol |
When you almost get into an accident looking into your mirrors to see if anyone's looking at your car
|
When you spend more time at the gas station than behind the wheel driving...LOL.
|
When you read all the post in this forum.....and you are down to this one
|
587.00 month-traded in a conversion van
|
You pass people just for the adrenaline rush of seeing the tach pass 8!
|
You actually can't wait to go to work because it gives you a valid excuse to go drive the car some more!
|
You move the car blocking your 8 just so you can use it to buy something a block away.
|
You start thinking about how fast you could take a corner ... while walking.
|
try to trade it in :eek:
|
You put the 8 in the garage and leave your more expensive vehicle out in the rain.
Your wife knows more about the 8 then the Salesperson and is proud of it. Your wife enjoys driving a stick, but never drives the 8. |
Any news on when these sayings might be put on a t-shirt?
|
When i think i have enough to make a list as good as is on the 7 shirt. Don't mean that sarcastically or overbearingly, I just don't think there is enough to make a quality list of 20.
