- Your wife ask if you had rather drive your car or have sex and you hesitate!

By the way, you best practice your response in advance cause if this hasen't happend yet, it's going to.

 

Or you've had 6 straight days of rain and on day 1 of the rain you've already started freaking out because you can't wash your car...then day 2 comes and goes....then day 3....

At least I know I'm not the only one around here that needs therapy :o

 

Yeah it always seems to want to rain on my wash day .

 

To rewrite some of thread themes that struck my RX8 chord...

You don't mind that Ford engineered the stereo so that it couldn't be replaced with something decent because there's better music coming from underneath the hood.

At work, you find that you are fairly compensated after all.

After getting to sixth gear, you turn to your wife (has to be a guy thing) and ask her if it was good for her too.

 

LOL .....but the general consensus was that it was all over too soon.

 

After years of thinking those Zoom-zoom comercials were corny, now you actually start to like them and even sing along.

 

haha, love all these and can relate to pretty much all of them! Go RX-8!!!

 

lol... thats so true... when the first zoom zoom zoom came out i got pissed off when ever they show the cm on tv.... makes me hate mazde... can't believe now i like mazdas and want to own one BADDD

 

- Always wondered what "Something’s-Up" meant, now I know.
- After washing your car you have to drive for no apparent reason.
-----
- Your ringtone is ZoomZoom
- Your alert sound on your computer is ZoomZoom
- You watch TV and here ZoomZoom
- You take a shower and can't get ZoomZoom out of your mind

... Now that's marketing

 

Every time you get back in your car after taking it in for service and have to readjust the seat you get a sinking feeling in your stomach like you've been cheated on.

 

had that!

 

Great thread

You have the fever when:

1. your heart starts pounding a little faster about an hour before you know you're going to be driving the car
2. you think everyone is looking at your car ... and they are !
3. you see another 8 on the road and can't take your eyes off it 'cause it's so great looking
4. you look at all the other cars (G35, IS300, RSX) on the road that you were considering buying and thank god you made the best decision
5. the zoom-zoom song is on a CD that's permanently one of the 6 in rotation in the car (drives the wife a little nuts)
6. you managed to get in the car in your name but the payments in your wife's name ! not really sure how I swung that one

I better get back to work !

 

I agree. This is my favorite thread. I've read it at least 3 times.

- You brag how affordable the car was which always gets a "deer in the headlights" response! Actually they always seem dissapointed when I tell them $26K.

I searched for 2 months for the perfect car. I drove the G35, 350Z, MR2, S2000, Maxima, CL Type S, every car I could find that interested me even slightly. The last car I drove was the RX8 and I did it only after I found out that it was well within my price range. :D

 

This may be slightly off the thread point but,has anyone seen the new Mazda RX-8 commercial? Where the driver gets" hugged" by the front and rear doors? I love that commercial! It just shows how we really do love our 8"s and our 8's love us! :p

Someone in this thread mentioned the hug. I've never seen any RX-8 commercial on TV was delighted to see someone had posted it on this forum.

 

The hug is great... but it came out over a year ago. I wish Mazda would come up with some new material soon...

 

I know I have the fever....
The wife begged to me to drive the 8 to work this morning (I was out late with the guys last night and was feeling guilty) and I actually got up before her, drove to get gas and get breakfast (the cute girl at McDonalds winked at me and said "nice car!"). As I stood in the driveway watching her go (the car...not my wife), I waited untl she was out of sight before going back in the house. So here I sit waiting for my baby to come home.....*sigh*

 

You purchase every product produced, i.e, soap, wax, claybar, wheel cleaner, tire dressing/foam, vinyl cleaner, chrome cleaner, car window cleaner, leather conditioner, plastic headlight lens cleaner, tar and bug remover, microfibre towels, and wash your car several times a week, and sometimes a few times a day if it has been in the rain, or is just dusty.......ha ha.....uhhhh....I mean I didnd really buy all that stuff....um I was making it up.
No one is THAT obsessed with a clean car right? :o

 

...your neighbor sees you washing the car again and tells you that you are going to wash the paint off the car.
... your friends (female) look at you with a blank stare when you talk about the car and everything you've learned about it from this site. They have never heard this sort of thing coming from another female before.

 

You look forward to your 8 winking at you at night, in the parking lot, as you press the “unlock” button, almost as if she’s saying: “I’m ready to run… are you?” :D :D
You come to a twisty and involuntarily dump down two gears and fly through the turns with a big grin on your face only to remember you have a passenger beside you who’s white as a sheet. :D

 

You leap out of your chair when anyone in the family needs a lift.

You try to think of places to go just so you can drive.

 

You settle in after dinner only to access the forum and find an intriguing comment that *must* be tested. The sooner the better.
Took her out at 11 p.m. for an hour's spin just to see whether seat warmer actually gets any hotter with cabin temp dial on high. It does. Also noticed the faster one goes, the warmer the seat....

Some days the 22 mile roundtrip to work just ain't enuff contact...:p

 

this is pretty sad i actually have most of these symptoms and one caused alot of damage to my car.

Was passing a Brilliant Blue 8 on 94 turned my head back to the road just in time to see a huge chunk of medal in the middle of the road... Put a hole the size of my fist in the side of my car after i hit it. SIGH

Im still kicking my self over this one.

 

That had to hurt!

 

You know you're an RX-8 owner when you calculate your fuel economy in GALLONS PER MILE!

(btw, someone should really compile all these into a word document! ; )
