This made me laugh and i had to share...

I was at my local mazda dealership getting my oil changed and they had a black 8 outside with these tags








Im not sure i should let them work on my car if they think the 8 is a gas saver lol

Is O'hara that bad really? Why yes they are. I pulled in for service one day and a sales guy asked if my cross drilled/slotted rotors were stock. Haha.

I've seen the same type of sticker on a Acura RSX at the dealership, "V6".

I saw an 09 marked as an 08 in a dealer lot, but this is much better.

this might be a special addition rx8 which mazda released in 2004 without us knowing..... or maybe the dealer did a swap with a prius engine in there.... i guess anything can be possible.....




and i wonder what are they going to say if you ask them whats the mpg on the 8! LOL i bet they are going to say this car is such a gas saver, it gets like 175 miles a tank in the city and around 200 a tank on the highway. isnt it great?

I'm fairly certain that dealerships have no idea what an rx-8 has under the hood.

Bank St. Mazda had a HUGE windshield shade on one of their '08's... "GAS SAVER"

I wanted to drive in and ask them what that was all about... Ridiculous lol.
