So, What do you guys do for a living?

Just curious ,thats all.

Me, I'm a senior account manager for a software company called QAS.

My Rx8 is my work car , I drive it out to appointments , to and from work etc.
I have a fairly long drive to and from work so my 8 makes it bearable

Judging by various comments from people I've met on cruises and on the forum, I'm one of that very rare breed of RX8 owner - I don't work in the IT industry! :p :D :D

Why just because you happen to mention the number of IT geeks and nerds that happen to own RX8"S

No wonder the RX8 lacks a bad boy image most of the drivers are the prim proper tax paying law abbiding IT types :p

All jokes aside Mike, I think you will find many are reluctant to give away too much personal info online. It can lead to preconceived ideas and in my case a deluge of hate mail and/or hackneyed jokes that I've heard a million times already.

Best way to get to know the members better is to meet them in person on a cruise or at the Nationals, hey Timbo? :D :D

Couldn't have put it better myself. These things are always best broached over a beer or nice red --- which we'll arrange to have a few of, at the Nationals in October.

Until that time, I will continue in my professional role as a lion tamer :p

Highly recommend a big station wagon for the family Azza - get one with loads of room in the back for all the baby crap.

Time to trade in our Ford wagon but I'm addicted to the space and absolutely refuse to own or drive one of those big 4WD things that handle like trucks. Get myself another repmobile for the wife I guess...

LMAO that ad is great.

Excuse my profanity here, but where I live the wrx used to be called the "****" cause every #$%^ had one. The RX8 is quickly earning a simialr name "*******".

I am also in IT, and if you want to hang **** on me feel free, just wait until the year 3000!!!

Haha - good one Andrew. :D

And I'm fine with IT people - I was just surprised to see how heavily represented they are as owners of the 8.

Well we've done these threads before but guess there's always new people joining...

Well yes I am also an IT guy, I am the senior security admin and consultant for our organization.

I don't have an 8 yet, even though I like the car very much I am now thinking of getting something a bit more upscale but still fun to drive to meet clients with, like an Infiniti M45 Sport, and the 8 down the road as my second car for fun driving.
