yeah, I get the 2nd pair of doors question all the time, but the one I found most amusing was this jerk off in a G35 that said "Why didn't you get a Z!?" in a real smart-*** voice, and gunned it past me...half a mile down the road I saw him pulled over with his hazard lights on, he must have lost control and hit something, because his front end was all bent up as well as the fenders. He look PISSED! And I slowly drove by him and said "that's why..."
it was a good feeling.

I had a saturn driver pull up to me yesterday and yell out, "You guys COPIED us with those doors!"
I simply revved my engine at him.

幹他媽!
just another beautiful day owning an 8 i see 
well, not to bring up a sore topic. i remember reading about the teenager chicago crash and how some family members of the victims were bitching about how the 2 back doors don't open independently. and, that contributed to the death of their family members. well, if they were in a 2-door coupe, the rear passengers would've been dead all the same- since the front passengers were dead and couldn't open the door for them. so, their argument really holds no water. a 2-door coupe and a 4-door coupe are still "coupes." so, blaming the car for the death of the rear passengers seems like using it as a scapegoat. blame the driver for his fantastic driving skills.

in todays society, the majority of people try to place the blame on something other than a person. It was the cars fault they died, not the driver. It was the gun manufacturers fault they were shot, not the person holding the gun.
It's mcdonalds fault im fat, not my lazy american ***.
nobody wants to accept the blame or responsibility for anything anymore, kinda sad

BMW purchased the design and changed it to a single cylinder in the late 1950's for better reliability. I assume performance was still low as the new improved BMW engine had twelve horsepower.

I got a "Nice car. What is this... THE NEW ECLIPSE?"
Poor guy. Was a young dude in his 20's working at a Beer Distributer, too. The worst part was probably that he already put a case of beer in my trunk and had ample time to discern that it was neither an eclipse or a Mitsubishi of any kind

Those have a big *** on them but they are sleek looking, overall.
One of my co-workers bought one and some of the people at work thought she got a RX-8. They had commented to me that she got a car like mine...
To be fair it was silver like mine.

A friend of mine open the passenger door, move the seat forward, and squeeze her way in. I silently waited until she's in, then open the rear door.....
Wish I had the camera that day.........

I gotta chime in on this one. Some employee at Autozone today asked me if I had the 1.6L turbo version when he saw me pull up. I told him that such a thing doesn't exist; he shook his head then proceeded to tell me his friend bought one last week at the dealer.
