At a burger king
GUy: "who's shiney sports car is that outside?"
Me: "ummmm.... mine?"
GUy: "well its rolling away, you better get it"
ME: "OH SH@T"
i guess the ebrake while at an incline isnt enough, since then I've put my car in gear when parked.

Stupidest questions? Well since the "How many cylinders does that thing have?" is already taken about 50 times I would have to say that the close 2nd is what year is your car? I go to the auto parts store and tell them I would like to know if the K&N oil filter has come out yet.
Them: What kind of a car is it?
Me: Mazda RX-8.
Them: What year?
Me: They didn't make it until '04 and the '05's aren't out yet...
Them: So is it an '04?
Me thinking to myself: Next stop rocket science...
Me: Yeah it's an '04.

Just seeing the car made me want to have sex. So I bought it. Better than having to look around for one and then have to ask to drive. I think it would be kinda wierd to date a guy with the same pseudo-rare car. Men, would you date a girl with an 8? Not asking personally, just curious about the ego factor.

A buddy of ours stopped by to check out the new car. His stupid comment...
"I don't want to see it, I want to drive it"
My response... "Then go buy your own"

I guess that *is* funny, but who does NOT get this question from their Mazda dealership?
I've had mine since September 2003 and they've asked me that probably every time I brought it in. I suppose in a few months that question will start making sense. Not that I could expect that they remember me. They sure sold thousands of RX-8s over the past 11 months, so they cannot remember me or my car.

Kinda like the hey that thing got a hemi in it....

Once a redneck in a truck at a gas station asked me "what does one of those run?" I wasn't sure whether to tell him how fast it was or the price.
The hood was open and someone asked "Where is the engine?"
Me: "It is small, 1.3L, it's pretty low and far back."
Him: "1.3, so it is a hybrid." -- Not a question
Me: "Uhh, no."
Him: "Well, it looks like one with all that stuff on top."

I had 2 girls in my 8 last school year. The one sitting in the back said the car makes her want to *** right then and there! 
Just yesterday, one of my friends said as I removed the engine cover.... "where's the engine, all I can see is the alternator?"

I get the what is it line alot....when the ....back of the car is in view of the person....i make a point of reading it off the back.
Also get a bunch of is that a three door?
And lets not forget the SCCA vehicle inspecter asking "V6 or 8" ..ummmm .pause none dude.
Great Falls MT uses it own classification system...yeah it sucks....they put me in some kind of modified sumthin or other. I felt its was so they could keep me from wuppin the local club heros. this weekend I am using my Mazdaspeed MX-5 and entering it as just a Miata. I'll get these ya hoos to buy a damn SCCA rule book yet.
