Maybe a dumb post and maybe a repost but I had a really bad day at work and I was really down. While driving home the normal twisty road back to my house had no snow and for some reason no cars! After some sprited driving I came to the road to my house which was packed snow and ice, with the help of my new M3 tires my car made it up the street (littered with stuck cars) and up my steep driveway.

The point of this whole story was that I have been happy and smiling since. I am really happy about getting the 8 its a great car and puts a smile on my face no matter what.

Anyone else feel the same way?

 

It's a common disease when dealing with Mazda rotary and sports cars. It only gets worse the more you're exposed to those little jewels from Hiroshima.

 

I get happy...the sad thing is, I travel between two buildings at work as I am in IT. Everytime I go outside, my eyes end up looking at the sexy, round ***...of my car...I always catch myself smiling.

 

Yup it is like a child to me that is why I buy it upgrades.

 

I also have two buildings to travel between, I was given the closest parking spot to the employee entrance so I can't help but stare at my 8 while passing by.

 

So what is it getting for XMAS????

The 8 definitely brings a smile...........

 

Just realized there is a similar thread just below this one. I guess its safe to say most RX8 are pretty happy with their cars.

 

That's why you should buy gas from a station that has a hottie working behind the counter. She'll love you car. Maybe you can get her to pump it for you (unless it's self serve)

 

I find that the drive home after work is often the high point of my day. I can honestly say that every time I get in the car I get a lift.

Sometimes when I'm cruising along passing a building with an all glass front I find myself staring at my reflection as it jumps from window to window. I feel a little ridiculous until I realize no one is there to laugh at me. So I just watch my car's reflection and think "now that looks good." I'll really feel stupid if I sideswipe a parked car while I'm admiring myself and my wheels.

 

Absolutely! Whenever I drive my 8 I can't stop smiling...and throughout the day I find myself taking little visits to the garage just to admire her which again brings on a smile!

 

extremely satisfied with my 8.

 

thats what im saying
its like a beatiful girlfriend who talks too much

 

My 8, well yes she is real happy , she got a new Stainless Greddy under her on Saturday so she is smiling! I love my 8 it is so much fun to just breeze around and now Push up the RPMS and hear the sound of the gredddy and passing people and hearing the sound off there cars. I love this car no matter what it will put a smile on yoru face...and about the " Sexy ***" yes our 8s have a sexy ***, not to big not to small, just enough to make you smile and want to rub it and now with 2 Greddy Pipes sticking out she is ready for playboy!!

 

Another thing that makes our 8's so special is that, at least in my part of the country, they are not a common sight on the road. There are many Z cars but very few 8's...so everyone is always eyeballing the car trying to figure out what it is...plus admiring it. It is just one beautiful piece of art!!!!!!!!

 

indeed. where i work/live there are TONS of G35's and 350Z's so I am proud to be driving something less common.

 

Same here. Vettes, Zs, G35s, Mustangs take up way too much space, and everyone looks like they're lucky to witness my sexy 8.

 

Abso-friggin-lutely!

Welcome to my world.

 

Mine is getting nice little Borla

 

Ditto to both of your posts!

That was one of the reasons why I finally(and thankfully) went with the 8.

 

its funny.. i drive an 8.. and when i see an 8 driving past me on the opposite lane i tend to stare/eyeball it as well... its like man.. i drive it and dont get the chance to enjoy its looks from the outside. hehehe

 

Therapy for $2.35/Gallon is what I've always said. Something about the way a Rotary rev's is intoxicating.

 

Yes yes yes yes!!!!! I know it was not just me that thinks this too.
Its great to know I'm not the only one that crazy

 

I am a field engineer covering 7 states and drive about 40,000 miles per year. I hate being away from home so much, but if I am going to spend several hours a day driving, this is the way to go. Some people say, you are killing the car putting that many miles on it, but I am a smiling man enjoying my day driving. Rather that, than leave it in the garage!!

 

I have to say that after a long day of work the only thing that saves my sanity is getting in my car and going home. And it isn't that getting home part I'm looking foward to, it's the drive ^_^.
