Thats funnnnny! I was cracking up.
It's even more funny cause of what my Dealership told me. I was with my mom and I told her everythign about an RX-8 before we got to the Dealership. So I'm looking at this RX-8 and this Salesman walks up to me saying, "Interested?" And I was like, "indeed." And he said, "well this is an RX-8 and it has the best fuel economy."
Wait...WHAT!? Best Fuel Economy he says? Salesman please, you don't have to BS your way into this one to try to sell it ASAP.
People know a days

I was told by a salesman when looking for my 8 that the RX-8 had three rotors because people had had problems with the RX-7 in the mountains so Mazda added an extra rotor. wtf? I wish that was really true! I never did say anything to him about it i just let him go on talking.

So i brought my car in for service this morning, just regular maitence nothing wrong and i had some time to kill so i walked over to their lot of cars and started looking around at a mazda 3 (for the girlfriend not me) a mazda dealer walks out and greets me and i notice hes the sales mgr and we start talking. He gives me his whole sales pitch and tells me he has been selling mazdas for 5 years now and how knowledgeable he is about them. I mention to him i was having my 8 serviced and just looking around at the 3's. He then looks at me and askes me what kind of engine do i have in my 8 a 4cy or v6. I look at him and then walked away to wait for my car never giving him a answer....I know we all say we know more about our cars then the dealers and we do...But jesus ******* christ, all i have to say was that i was glad i didnt buy my car from that dealer.

instead of walking away, you should've played along and claimed you had the 4 cyl. and then ask the salesman if he can show you the new 6 cylinder rx8 in the lot. i can just imagine what that could've led to. 10 bucks says he won't even know how to take off the engine cover.

Its not like insurance companys know what they are doing either. When i got my insurance they asked if it was a 4 or 6 cyl. I told them neither it was a rotary engine they had no option for that so they put my car a 4 cly 4 door sedan. guess stupidity helps keeps that price lower.

the last time i went to the dealership, i was looking at the 8's and they had a Ti with a different shade of gray for the wheels.
"where'd you get that done?" he replied with some paint shop down the road and i told him about how i painted my black.
"we've got the mazdaspeed 8 coming out pretty soon. its gonna be fast, it's turbocharged. probably around 300 hp." "oh, 'haha'" I did my fake laugh.
