maybe he meant 6 port rotary. Still, pretty pathetic.

 

flying Lawn mower FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

People comes up to me and asks me if it's a rotary engine, I mean, WTF? Everyone knows that there's no such way that a car will run without pistons... damn n00bs. I mean, how can they not see my V6 badge on the back of my RX-8? I swear... people now-a-days.

 

V6? you got ripped, mine came with a v8!

 

Dude, you serious?! Did it also comes with VTAKK? I'm so jealous...

 

mine came with front wheel drive, 3 speed auto, and fur covered seats for added sportiness.

 

I only wish, but it did come with AWD!

 

I got a ticket the other day and on the ticket it had body style as 2 dr

can i fight it and say its a mistake lol

i also took it to a mechanic in town to get an insurance photo inspection and the owner/mechanic just said nice rx7.... i know where im not getting work done

 

I had a 90 RX7 GTU, and was at the audio shop, and a kid walked up to me and said "wow that's a nice chevy bereta I have a GTU to", After the kid and his friends left I took a heat gun and adhesive remover and took off the GTU stickers. Then with my 8 some guy ask if it was chevy's new hybrid, I just turned around and got back in my car and left. I think I'm going to buy a mustang that way people can't say oh is that a chevy.

 

co-worker: Hey nice car.
me: thanks
co-worker: Porsches are so expensive how do you afford it working here?
me: ... it's not a Porsche.
co-worker: oh is it like a new Mustang or something?
me: no it's a Mazda.
co-worker: (blank stare)
me: It's an RX8
co-worker: Oh right, those are pretty cool.
me: thanks (get into car, drive away knowing that she is still as clueless as when we started the conversation.)

This is only one of many dumb conversations I've had with people about my car. Eventually I got a couple little rotary decals and put them in my windows on the suicide doors. It's really helpful for those awkward gas station conversations about the engine.

 

So far my favorite is still the dude that walked up to me at pep-boys when i first got the car - he pointed at my alternator and asked me if that was my engine.

I lol'd.

The best part about this thread is that I've had my 8 for about 2 weeks now and I've experienced about 90% of the conversations you guys have posted.

To contribute something though, when I bought the car from the dealership, the salesmen originally wrote in 6 cylinders on the purchase agreement. To be fair, he did catch his mistake....after he filled the whole thing out unfortunately.

 

LOL that has never happned to me but...man mazda has more ties with ford than chevy lol

 

When I was getting my flat tire sealed up the manager of the tire shop said "nice car, is that the new Saturn?" (Reffering to Saturn Sky) I was like "no its a Mazda RX-8" and he said "sorry, I didn't mean to offense you" lol

 

^ lol those ones are always funny.

And, I included, have also had more then one person ask me if I had the "new mustang" out of the blue.

 

Every time I go to the Gas Station people checks out my car and sometimes replys, "Awesome Ferrari kid."

:\

Now if I can only find a hot idiot girl who thinks I own a Ferrari for I can.. love her... ha ha

 

At the gas station yesterday someone asked me if it was a "new smaller dodge viper."

 

so i was looking at carmax for a car for my gf and i ran across the rx-8s and in the decription of the car it says this:

2004 Mazda RX-8

2D Coupe, 2WD, 2 cylinders, Manual 6 Speed, Blue, 18/24 MPG


According to Carmax we drive a 2 cylinder now LOL

 

^ most websites dont have a rotary engine opption so most people are forced to put 2 or 4 cyl

 

stranger pulled up at the light and rolls down window...

stranger:dude nice car
me:thanks!
stranger:so was that expensive?
me:i wouldn't know i stole it! :D

 

someone once asked me if it had a hemi in it ROFL

 

1) Is it a viper?

2) That's not rear wheel drive is it?

 

FWD VIPER! FTW!

 

It really makes you wonder about people when those two questions come from the same person within the same breath
