Same stuff said to me when I drove my RX7:
How many pistons?
V6 or V8?
Don't those things only last for like 50k miles before they blow up?
Your car must be slow.
(With my rx7)What? It actually has 120k miles on it, they never last that long.

Person:Oh man V8?

Update from today:
I was putting gas in my car at circle k and this guy on the other pump in front of me, putting gas in the vett quotes," Nice rx8 brother, how's that v6 rotary treating you?".
Me: gives wtf look.........oh its alright, thanks; nice car yourself
Him: Yea I use to have one myself, too many problems though; it was always at the shop getting worked on. anyways you have fun with that you hear.
then we parted ways

Every one should just get one of these.
When the questions start rolling in just say, "look stupid, it has two of these. They go like this *spin rotor*"
I'm pretty sure you'd see a fuse or two blow by introducing them to a new concept.

I haven't received a lot of comments about my 8 except "what kind of car is that?"; but I have noticed that people stop and stare when I open the driver side suicide door to put my bookbag on the backseat. I'd say the most shocking thing I've heard was from a shift supervisor upon finding out it was mine "how much are we paying you?"

1month after i had gotten my car (jun 07) some dumb biker ask if the 8 was street legal.
i live in hillbilly town tho so expectations are already low but wow.
now that i read this funny thingsthat happen to all these 8 owners, it makes me think i should of just said something funny to the dumb old biker.

the other day I was giving 2 of my buddies a ride home and I got in the driver seat, and one of them quickly rushed into the passenger seat. The other guy said. "what the hell kyle (other friend), do you expect me to just get in through a back door?! get out and move your seat!" My other buddy then opened the back door and he didn't say anything rest of the way home. haha

Back in high school, I almost got into a fist fight with 2 guys because they were so pissed that I said my car didnt have cams or a camshaft lol. They literally threatened to fight me right there...
