Caught the Virus... the RX8 Virus.
After owning the RX8 for a month, I think i've finally caught the RX8 virus! I've beening finding every single possible excuse to drive the car, like driving 20km one way to buy a SUB for lunch, or going to a 7-11 20 mins away cause the lottery tickets there are "luckier" or recycling the empty bottles twice a week instead of once a month, or even volunteer to drive a friend 3 hours away to check out a used car and that wanted to buy ( or look at)..
am I the only one who caught this virus?? when will the symptoms go away because at this rate I won't be able to afford the medicine ( read: Gas)

I think having another car as a daily driver makes me appreciate my 8 a lot more. I drive a 96 Maxima 4-5 times a week to work and on the weekends I drive my 8. If I drove my 8 seven days a week I don't think I would enjoy it as much and I would prabably get sick of it after a couple of years and end up trading it in. Not to mention I would be spending an arm and a leg for gas.

beware....reving to 8500rpm everyday makes the virus worse.

Uhhh ... I think I got the RX virus a year before the car came out. I think it's some sort of STD (possibly communicable even by looking at pictures of it). I don't believe that there is a cure for this.

I have had this disease since 2000 when i saw the car in testing stages, the virus became worse when i saw how much they were selling them for, much cheaper than i thought, Now the virus is full blown as i just picked up my 2006 galaxy grey last monday

i've had the virus for a 1 month, then i went and bought it. In a period of three months, after trying every stunt i knew, using a new set of tires, and doing 10000km of only week end driving, i found not driving the rx8 harder than quitting smoking. Now taking a year off to save up on insurance and get me out of my financial struggles. Unfortunately i bought the car while still living at my parents. I found driving the car harder to afford when i moved out.

I also caught this strain of the Asian flu and find absurd excuses to run errands. I'm finding driving enjoyable again instead of just another of life's drudgeries.

Having a daily driven '05 Brilliant Black (14k miles) also brings on the side effect of wiping it down just to go to work... Hopeless.

As for wiping it down...tell me about it. Have had the car approx 40 hours and have already washed it when I got home from work yesterday, due to the rain yesterday I think I need to go get some Zaino. My girlfriend will not like the fact she'll be number 2 for a while
