I would except for a minor issue, I have a razor and the p.o.s. is broken and won't let me send pics. Verizon says they can't transfer the pics to my replacement phone when I get it, so they will just be lost.

You wonder why Mazda chose such a non-standard tire size when you go shopping on Tirerack.com.

you always take the ideal line around turns.

you make each lane change fast on the freeway so that you can feel the g's.

you purposely wait until the last moment to brake so you can feel the g's from your brakes

you heel-and-toe every turn.

you lose sleep over thinking if the side vents are functional.

you have nightmares about big rocks hitting your oil coolers.

When your doors rattle like hell in the winter!

When you spend more on quarts of oil in a year than you do on bread!

When you have had more trips to the dealer service center than you have driven the car!

When you love the car but hate it at the same time!!!!

I still love my RX8!

*you have to explain to your gf that you're not driving crazy for the joy of it,
but because it's to clear the carbon build up and it's good for the engine.

*people in your car tell you to turn off the heater, but it's not even on.

*after washing your car and trying to dry it you curse the side vents because water keeps dripping from it after the rest of the car is dried off.

Damn "premium" here is $2.56.


when some one is talking about changing a timing belt and you feel relieved

you are in a Mexican filled parking when you open the back door and all you hear is " Orale uey mirale eso" (happend before)

you know you are a true rotary fan when you ahve a model of a 787B in you living room.

you keep tripping over as you walk away from the car (because you are not looking in the direction your feet are going).

You complement your car so much, that your girlfriend starts doing it for you... (so she can get 1 sec of your attention back).
