I hate that I worry about dirt and scratches etc...

seriously, though, my only complaint is that the damned rearview mirror blocks my view out of the right side of the front windshield. anyone else have this problem?

your mirror should telescope upwards as well as move front to back...give it a shot. i wasn't aware of this and after moving it up it no longer blocks me...i'm 6' 2''

I hate more than anything else in the world that I don't have an 8 yet in my driveway.

I hate it that I don't have car wash facilities in my garage so I can still wash and polish my eight on these 22 degree mornings!

I took my 8 for a road trip shortly after it was broken in. About an hour into the drive, and many a passed vehicle later, the very gorgeous passenger sitting to my right looked over at me and said in a depressed voice "I guess all these people aren't looking at me, are they?" Trying to control my laughter I said "No sweetheart, I don't think they are."

Really hate having my 8 parked under a cover for most of the winter.
Can't wait until all this snow and ice melts. As well as all the little rocks that seem to be bullets being launched at my windshield.

I hate that it's too pretty to be irresponsible about washing it. But it's also nice having something to care about

I hate driving my 1992 Cherokee instead of my 8, due to the snow. Ever try to heel and toe a corner in a Jeep? :p

In fact I hate driving almost any other car. The transition is just too scary. One of these days I'll smack into something or spin wildly out of some curve. All it will take is a second's forgetfulness that this [POS other vehicle] does not brake like my 8, turn like my 8 or grip like my 8. The more miles I put on the RX-8 the tougher it is to retrain my reflexes for some other vehicle that doesn't do a d@mn thing when I punch the brake or turn the wheel.

I try to think of it like this in a couple years they will have the mazda speed version out or at least have a small bump up in power and a few little bug worked out. The furute is very bright indeed.

I dont hate the way the water dances on the hood after its washed, or when you wash it and go like 50 the water beads move up the rear window, I love that, always makes me smile.
