Deceiving title...
I was hoping for pix of an 8 & a sexy girl..

 

Love mine!

 

My girlfriend thinks the FD is awesome, but on the other hand questioned my sports car judgment buying an rx-8. I've tried to explain that the chassis and engine are both blissful though maybe not the ideal partners

 

Female here who owned an 04 LY RX8, sport, 6 spd.....I LOVED MY REX!! Sold it last June to buy a house (left the loser BF) and I have missed it everyday since. I bought a mustang gt convertible last month because I thought I would like something I hadn't owned before....I am not impressed with the Mustang....power is great, it looks good, and, a Mustang is a Mustang, right...? Wrong!!! I am a ruined woman because of the smooth acceleration and excitement of the rotary...I will own another one!!!

 

I met a lady who hates the 8, she said "The RX-8 is a girl car".........

 

ouch!

 

Obviously a lesbian.

 

Funny you'd say that. My (as of today) ex wife is a lesbian. And she said after I bought it: "It's a girl car."

 

Okay, I'll break the silence... haven't mentioned that I am a woman on the forum yet.... til now. I am. people have been saying "yeh man, and "that guy..." but I let it go. Female, married, mother of two teenagers and an RX-8 lover! I've had my eye on the RX-7 since I was a teenager. Then I saw the RX-8 and had to have one. So I love the RX-8 because it's agressive AND sexy. I test drove a number of "toys" before I bought the RX-8, but it by far gave me the biggest grin. fell in love with the "jet engine" noise when slowing down... still makes me smile every time I hear it - don't think I'll ever get sick of it. I love that you can really wind it up before red-lining.. my Dad has a Porche and I love tearing up the back roads with him - we take turns passing each other and I laugh when he flys by me. ( after all, it's a Porche) I love that not everyone has one and people stop and look and want to know what it is.... I love that every little punk in a subaru or an eclipse pulls up next to me and sees that I'm a woman and thinks I won't floor it.... they were wrong!
I had to sell my motorcycle a couple of years back and really missed the thrill of the ride - this comes pretty close... just wish all those other cars weren't on the road too.... written by someone who loves to drive - fast.
