Top 10 Cars to Drive If You Don't Have a Date
http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/list/...4/article.html
I searched and didn't find this on the site, but it may be a repost. It's an article (Top 10 list) at edmunds.com, this one titled "Top 10 Cars to Drive If You Don't Have a Date." The 8 is listed, as follows: "4. Mazda RX-8: 'It's weird, but I've never felt lonely in the RX-8," said our new vehicle reviews editor. Could it be the expert chassis tuning that makes the car feel like an extension of your body? Could it be the free-revving rotary engine and its unique sound? Try one and find out.'"

The RX-8 also has other unique qualities besides having the ability to procure dates for its owner such as:
The RX-8 has two speeds: off and pwn.
When the RX-8 drives it isn't moving forward -- it's moving the Earth backwards.
The RX-8 has two speeds: off and pwn.
When the RX-8 drives it isn't moving forward -- it's moving the Earth backwards.

They are good cars if I don't have a date because it's doubtful I would let anyone sit in my car!! LOL I've still been keeping people out of my car. My only passenger has been my mom.

are they telling us that Rx-8 drivers should be "lonely drivers"??? 
for a Elise, i completely understand,
b/c getting in and out of that thing makes you look like an idiot....
you practically crawl outta the thing.

Ditto that....i don't know what it is, but i become selfish with my RX-8. I don't like people riding with me, i don't even like my wife riding me, i just want to ride solo and soak up all the fun to myself!
God i hope my wife doesn't read these forums......lol

Cars like the RX8 with little low-end torque are more adversely effected......but you're right, every car is affected to some extent.
