3rd night I had my 8 a dude in a brand new Porsche Caymann S pulled up next to me and ASKED me to race, to which I was obliged, even though we both knew it wasnt a fair go. At the nex red light he pulled up next to me and said "Man, I iwsh I had a car like that in my 20's! Nice ride!"

People who know cars well enough will give the 8 its due respect. People who dont give the car a nod have never read up on why they deserve one, let alone have driven one.

I give respect to drivers based on their driving ability, not the machine theyre driving, but thats just me.

 

Re; The cars with white gappy body kits...

Scrap my last post, I forgot about these retards....

 

I get possitive compliments about my car all of the time and it is pretty much stock and yes people do ask. "what kinda car is that" many people really do not even know what an rx-8 even is yet. Many of the compliments come from down to earth older males though that also appreciate cars I think younger guys are affraid to compliment much of the time because they think they are giving something up or disrespecting their car. Don't worry guys you can't cheat on a car only your wife. LOL

 

Classic......sure it counts!

 

I agree!!!

 

And just an FYI ... if you're in the Chicago area, there is a great group of people who get together and appreciate and talk about each other's cars. It's the JGTCA (Japanese Grand Touring Cars of America). Usually, I'm the only 8 there ... tho I still drool over those beautiful black Mark IVs that show up .... and the NSX made my eyes pop out. Always nice to see other car enthusiasts gettin along!

 

Only in your fantasies.

 

I have a hard time showing respect to :

1) VW Bettles with the fake flower on the dash....especially when some 50 your old man is driving it.

2) Mini-Vans.

3) A cheap econo-box car that has been riced out to the max....are these people doing drugs?

 

I(to a degree) respect other peoples choices regardless how different they are from mine. Econobox ricers included. Their just going through an adolescent thing. They won't be driving those ity bity cars when their 35. It's a good choice for them now.

 

HEY! what are you saying?

 

I say they don't exist. If so post She Devil pic next to car. I need proof

 

Such a ladies man

 

Yeah, you ooze respect... You shouldn't even be allowed to post in this thread.

 

I'll respect it if you've put thought and time into it. I won't respect it if you're making it out to be something it isn't.

 

How about adding scion tc's and everyone who drives them.
Yesterday I was cut off twice by an idiot driving one.

Not to mention almost getting rear ended by a scion, and sideswiped by one.

 

I don't respect the above quote.

 

i'm easily found on this site...and in the member's directory too.

 

I've noticed that all of the negative comments I've gotten about my 8 have been from people who own crappy cars.

 

IMO cars are just like "Machines". Some are good some are not so good. But everyone of thme was built for a precise justification.
