Funny enough a guy next to me at the gas station with a 300 said, "what is that, the new viper??"
thatt made me pretty happy

 

That's an insult. The viper is an archaic dinosaur with grade school design themes.

I've had good experience with the 8 as well.

While driving home, some neighbourhood female teens hanging out shouted "I love your car!". I just waved and smiled.
Then there was the time when stopped at a set of lights next to some Hells Angels looking bikers.
The lead biker said "Nice sportscar. Is that a V8? V12?".
My Reply: "Nah. It's a Rotary."
Confused biker "Them turbo hotrods huh?" telling his buddy.
I just smiled. Didn't want to correct him. I was passing through this hick-town and I am an asian in a Mazda surrounded by a convoy of Angels....
Lights turned green .... dang! I hate those Harley exhausts!

 

I haven't had any verbal comments yet but while I was in line at Starbucks this morning I looked out the window and saw three contruction guys standing admiring my ride. They went back to work before I got back outside but one of them gave me a big thumbs up as I was driving away.

 

That's too funny... Don't you know...NEVER drive your car when its dirty!!

 

I have girls at the McD drive thru telling me nicee car..and all they can see is the interior...

 

I've had a few compliments..The day i was buying the car, a lady drove by and asked what kind of car it was, and as she was driving off she said "That is one sexy ride!" So that definitally made me feel good about buying the car. But my favorite complimate i've gotten has to be..

"Is it a 4-cylinder or a V6?"
And i just smile

 

despite the negative connotation the rotary engine gets by the haters, all the previous owners of rx7's and other rotary vehicles seem to have extremely positive experiences and views back when they owned their respective vehicle.

I never been in a vehicle that gets as many thumbs up and respect from all ages/sexes.

After spending time driving a rotary powered vehicle, I really don't think there is anything on the market yet that I even would care to replace it with.

 

I'll have to agree with you on that. It's like the engine gives you points just for HAVING one...it rocks.

 

Sweeet car man sweet....

 

Guy on a Hog next to me leans over and says "Hey, what color is that?" "They call it Black Cherry Mica," I tell him. "Cool..." he says, "that's the color I wanna paint my tank."

 

I was registering my car at the dmv yesterday and the guy that was inspecting it told me like 3 or 4 times how nice my car was. Then like 4 hours later i was finally done registering it.. that's the cali dmv for ya...

 

When I hang out with my dad's friends they are always praising my car. Their kid, I think hes 10, said that he wants either a car like mine or a viper. I figured it was useless to talk to him about insurance rates at his age

When I was taking food deliveries for a family friend's restaurant. I pulled up and the guy said it was the nicest delivery car he has ever seen. Good thing it was a neighbor or I would not have gotten a tip :-(.

 

Heh, it's dirty now.. With the water restrictions in Miami, I don't know when to wash it..

Or else.. You can wash it yourself with your ghostly powers.

 

Okay...lets see what I can come up with. However you will have to drive it here for me to take real good care of her! I will show you the ropes... With some good Candles and wax...we'll have a line-up...

 

I was listening to NYE '95 on the way in to work this morning....LOUD. Got a couple of annoyed looks at the stoplights. Still no compliments, though.

 

one guy that works with me called it a "mini viper" when i was with my ex we went to walmart and as we went in some guy, (about 45) was like, WOW! thats awesome, and i had to put something in the back seat hes like! suicide doors!!! it makes me feel good when people stare at it,and give you compliments

I <3 my 8
