Yea.. After a year.. I still look back whenever I park; and at home I always tend to look outside or if parked inside, I have to see my 8 for some reason..

I also pose sometimes when I'm parked at school.. And I always think I have the fastest car in what ever road.. And cops suck.

And yes, I get excited when I turn on the car..

 

Yeah..I still love mine and the people at work laugh at me all the time because they come by and catch me looking out the window at it...both of my children are jealous of it..they think I love it, more than them..

 

6mths, 8000km, feel the same as most of the guys here...the parking-lot-lookback, the sudden willingness to drive to work, the new addiction to tyre-chirping turns, indiscriminate redlining, etc..

But I suddenly drive real carefully with my wife and kiddo in the car.. the 3 things on earth I love the most in one spot! :

 

Kinda funny how many of us relate to just about ALL the same things that have been said! We are truly addicted!

 

I had a fun little mr2 turbo before i got my 8. I loved it as much as these guys love their 8's. I missed the torque but all the little things from the 8 started adding up. The other night a turbo civic from out of state was messing with me on the highway and I was actually surprised that I left him. *I was not racing him, just trying to get my space cushion and enjoy the drive home.* This 8 has long legs. I love my 8 like a second wife.

 

People get pissed because the 8 can't sprint well from zero. But up top, north of 70mph, it'll pull like a freight train in the right gear.

 

yep,

car is good..

beers

 

Same goes with me after 3.5 years and 72000 km. When I open the door and start the engine I still have the 1st day-new car feeling and I love that.

I am planning to keep it with me for many years and make it a Classic.

Boring? that word does not exist in the RX8 dictionary.

its those hig rpms bro, high are pee emmzzzzz

 

I do the same thing...looking back and through windows and looking at people stare at my car...Gotta love it!!

Geeze I would like to see just how 'excited' you all get... If it's anything like I do...then just like rglbegl then I'd do the same...

 

After 14months of ownership I still love to drive the car. My previous unit was an M3 and, yeah, I miss the torque but this car talks to me.......every morning she says 'come-on, get in, put your hands on me, and DRIVE me'!!

 

turbo it. I drove my friend's 2005 M3 back to back with my car and the torque is similar.

 

Been thinkin about that.....later this spring.......

 

Ive had my 8 for about 7 months and i still get excited everytime i see it. I also do the look back when i walk away from my car. The only thing that bothers me is parking my car at the mall or somewhere where there are a lot of cars. I have a phobia about people opening their doors and hitting my side. The best part about this car is that its unique and when u drive past a crowd of people no one is looking at that 350z or s2000 that just past. They are looking at you. Caution, this car breaks necks.

 

I get excited every time I fill up the gas tank..................... just kidding.

 

I alway try and guess how much she'll drink, I just love it. Everyday, and everything I do with her/to her is like a fun game to me, even the maintenance I just love taking good care of her makes me feel good.

 

8000mi + on the clock after I bought her secondhand, Rena still makes me cream my pants when I go for a spirited drive. Zoom-Zoom forever.

 

I bust a nut everytime i sit in the seat of my RX8

 

i just got my '05 and it is "slow" comparing it to the 335i, and doesn't have the torque that the 350Z had, but this car is a lot of fun. I only get to drive like 3 days out of the week or so, but its been fun getting in there and having fun in some turns!

 

how many miles have u put on w/ the turbo sql? (ie how long have u had the greddy on there)

 

13k miles with turbo. having a larger turbo installed shortly.

 

I'm the proud owner of an RX-8. We are very lucky...and I still drive with that silly grin on my face...!

 

I hadn't driven my car since Monday. I immediately went out and hopped in when I got home from work today even though it was still basically rush hour and I drove around brooklyn for an hour and a half or so.

This car is so fun the weekly stress just melts away :D

The funny thing was that when I got my car from the garage even the garage attendant couldn't shut up about how much he liked the car. "Even the parking brake is soooo coooool".

 

Uhh...yeah it is my one true vice, I rarely drive my other cars since I bought it a year ago.

Still fun, especially the on the long curved on ramps and up and down the valleys.

 

yeah, we all know that driving fast down a drag strip never gets boring but driving "slow" through the mountains or track is dull as hell.

I love my car.
