"is that a mustang?"
as i pulled up and got out of my car, i was asked by one of the moving guys helping my neighbors move out their house this exact question ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
it's nice that people are intrigued by the car and many still have no idea what it is. although a friend of mine did ask me, "how come you bought a beetle?" after i sent her pictures of the car online. i wanted to punch her in the face

About three people already called my car a a Mazda 6... atleast they knew it was a Mazda. I still say that the 8 looks very diffrent from most cars. I gues people just say things without thinking.

I was at a gas station the other day and a guy on a motorcycle obviously had never seen one ask, "Wow, that's nice, does she run?" about that time a dodge viper pulled in and stole my thunder.![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)

I've Gotten Viper once and Porche a couple times. Mustang today I almost threw up when he said that though. The problem is are looks semi like a lot of other cars but is very different from everything else on the market at the moment.
Oh well.

Getting out at the Post Office, I hear the old guy on the sidewalk telling his grandson "See the 'T' on the front? That must be the new Toyota Celica."
I say "No, that's an 'M', it's a Mazda, an RX-8"
Granpa gets a little miffed at this and says "No, that's a 'T' for Toyota, it's a Celica!!" :D :D
whaatEVERRR!

I am still amazed by how few of the 8s I see on the road. People are constantly looking at mine like they have never seen one before, and I have seen only 2 around town in the last year, which is pretty weird since this is a fairly big area.

I've had Aston Martin and Porsche. If I drove an Aston Martin, would I really be plowing through the snow?
I guess people are trying to associate what they see with a brand they know.

One of my neighbors walked by the other day while I was washing the car, and asked "Is that the new Nissan?" I told him "No, it's a Mazda." He nodded like he understood as he walked away, and I could hear him mutter "Oh, a Miata." I just went back to washing my car....![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

^...I have noticed, that the general population neither notices, nor cares about cars. Most only drive one becasue they have to. Only a select few of us actual care, and we are the fortunate ones.
