It's nice having a garage to park mine in. I get a lot of ppl looking everytime I pull it out for a ride. I also get a lot of dumbass kids who try to race me.

 

maybe a tomato jacked off on it

 

I live at the very end of a 3-block long cul-de-sac - so about 20 houses on my street that I pass by to go anywhere. Because of kids, etc. in the neighborhood, I almost never go more than 20 through the neighborhood. Yet there are two neighbors on my street who constantly bitch to other neighbors (they don't have the ***** to say it to me) about how I'm constantly speeding up and down the street in "that damn yellow sports car".

I have also heard from various neighbors that they also talk about us and "how much money they must make" - it's a weird setup - damn near the entire neighborhood is still owned by the people that built the houses nearly 20 years ago - and most of them wouldn't be able to buy in the neighborhood now due to how the property values have risen. We bought three years ago for a price that's close to 3x what these people paid to build the houses. So they see the car and they rumor that "what does that guy do to afford a house that sold for XXX,XXX and drive a $60,000 car" ... $60,000??? LOL

 

hey, maybe we're in the same neighborhood ... https://www.rx8club.com/lounge-4/wont-you-not-my-neighbor-101599/

 

Yeah but your neighbors get in fights and throw clothes and such out the windows. I wish I was there to see that...just pull up a lawnchair and a beer and sit back.

 

Remember that Celica commercial where it was just parked and turned off with no one in it on the side of the road in a neighborhood and some old man walks up to it and yells "slow down". Haha, that was classic.

Also, the word "cul-de-sac" is hilarious.

 

yea well once i get the firepit installed, i'll have a viewing party

 

I've noticed that I get a lot fewer jealous stares when mine is dirty. Think I'll start carrying around a bucket of dirt to dump on it when I have to park in questionable areas (like Florida).

 

LOL same here! but then the people with other sport cars would look at you in disgust and shame... 'how can he let that beautiful car be so diiiiirty...*shakes head*" tsk tsk tsk.

 

This is so got damn true. Clean and polish the car, get into weird incidents, stares, odd comments, etc... Dirty car, much, much less. Damn hot looking RX-8....haha...

I'm amazed at the amount of simple minded jealous and hate there is.

I get stares all the time. I now know what a hot female with the perfect body must feel like. I can deal with that, but not the b.s. sickos that say and do stupid crap.

The latest episode was somebody slamming their car door into my car, leaving a small dent. So damn sad, I'm starting to wonder if there is any hope for the human race.

 

lol, that series produced one of the greatest commercials ever: here

 

Regarding OP: Sorry to hear that. I have not yet been a victim of that nonsense. I just do not understand what the hell is wrong with people.

I grew up poor as hell. Never had an ounce of hatred toward people with nice cars. I was just appreciative to seen one. I have chastised my friends in highschool for almost throwing rocks at a Porsche and yelled at a stranger for opening his door into a 350Z. I just don't freakin get it.

 

I thought that was Venice!!!!!!!



Q: What's the most dangerous thing in Florida?


A: An 80 year old man in a Cadillac...he'll hit you just to have someone to talk to!!!!!!!!
