Farewell...Out with the old, in with the new
#51
I got tired of driving a kit car...It looked the part but had no Go...And you all know it. So why front just get another car. People ask all the time is it fast???? And you know you all lie like hell...."Yeah its fast" fast as this Scion....lol No its a effin gas drinker with nothing in return.
I have to admit though, at least your Scion serves it's purpose; a commuter brick with APC options. Carbon fiber mirrors from fisher price anyone???

lol.... This reminds me of some of the more memorable moments 10101010 has had on this forum. Here are a few select quotes.....
"Driving has now become a blast."
"Once I had a cop pull up beside me at a light and asked "What kind of Porsche is that" I just smiled and told him it was a Shinka... He said damn I picked the wrong job. Light changed, I honked and rolled off. I Love it when people ask eventhough I try to be modest. "Damn, thats tight"!!!! "Is it fast?"...I smile and say "She'll move a little bit"
I miss the old 10101010

Future quote from 10101010 in the scion forum...
"Once I had a cop pull up beside me at a light and asked, "What kind of box is that" I just smiled and told him it was a xB. He said, damn I picked the right job. Light changed, i honked (like a dumbass, i know), pushed the accelerator to the floor, and slowly rolled off."

I never say the 8 is fast.
I say gears 3 through 6 correspond directly to how many years I'll have my license suspended for using them the way I want to.
Maybe my ***** is just big enough that I don't care that its not "the fastest"

The RX8 does not get horrendous gas mileage, i don't know why everyone complains. You might have one of the unfortunate ones that somehow mysteriously get 11mpg mixed with a feather foot, but most get what, 17-18 city? I'd say that's pretty damn good for a sports car. My 7 on an old engine got roughly 100 miles to the tank. I drove that car with a **** eating grin everyday until i had to store it for the winter, i never once complained about gas because honestly, i didn't care. I drive a sports car so it might as well come with some drawbacks. Live with it.

Come on Fellas.....
Let me just say it for the record, The 8 had its perks. It was and still is a beautiful car it looks the part. And driving it was fun....at first. But before the 8 I had a civic, and it was no different. Still bully'd by mustangs, STI's, GTI's everything with some real horses. It pissed me off. The only thing I could beat was a civic or a scion and around here; I cant really say that! So after getting the kit car out of my system, I wanted something more practicle, with GPS/ DVD's and a **** load of part possibilities. The gas prices are through the roof and they're only getting worse. I still love tuning, so I wanted something I could tune, and not sell my soul to pay for. I understand why people like or love the car at one point I did, but I got tired...really tired of it!!!! So I bought a box...lol

why do you care about what other people think of your car? did they buy it or you? they should have no impact on your feelings about your car. this goes for what we are doing in this thread, but we are just joking around. if a mustang or any other "fast" car just pulls up and wants to race, i burst out laughing and drive away normally. those people are stupid.

I love the car...I'm fine with the box, It just shows the the calibre of catz driving the car, they post all they track times, and talk about race cars all the time as if they drive one as if this car is fast. And we all know its not, so the box is slow but...lol So is the 8. The box is ugly in the eyes of an 8 owner and the 8 is slow in eyes of every tuner. I think this back and forth is fun, I could check this thing everyday for 6months and there would always be someone here defending the 8 as if it was the best thing on the road Its the nature of this place. The best thing about this place is Dshill76 and Nightracer, and the couple of guys here that deal in truth. I'll keep posting as long as the leghumpers live...lol

I no longer have to go to the gas station every few days, nor try to move up my seat as foward as possible to fit someone at the back and I can just throw stuff in the trunk if I need to...
Everyone has a different taste, and tho the box wouldn't be my first choice when it comes to replacing the RX8, but it's your choice and have fun with it!!

Have some class dude. Go out with some dignity at least, your making yourself look like a jackass w/ ur uneducated comparisons. Take pride in ur new car, but dont feel you have to justify buying it by buggin on the 8.

But I think the above statement says it all.... At least now they won't bully you, they will just laugh (or not even notice you).

Just see this, you're in the minority, but good luck with the purchase. I'm now done with this thread.
