It takes 5 minutes at the town hall when you register it to answer the question “Is it a 2 door or a 4 door?” (Just happened to me, we ended up at 2 I think)

- Everyone now greets you with "...so, how's the RX-8 going?"
- You finished reading this thread (shirt) and went for a drive. (I did!)

When you drive by an outdoor basketball court and the game stops so the players can stare at your car.

When little elementary school kids (boys and girls) take the time to stop and ask you about your car.

When elderly ladies walking out of Walmart take the time to compliment you on your car.

When you wave at somebody you know from your car, but they don't notice you waving because they're looking at the car.

When you see another RX-8 on the highway, and you suddenly realize "DAMN that car looks hot!"

-When you scare the **** out of your friends who are use to being in SUVs. Then they get in the RX-8 and you take them on really windy roads that are suppose to be 25 mph and you are going 65 mph

- When it gets really tempting not to do burnouts at every light

-When you hear your tires chirp from 1st to 2nd and you just smile

-When you drive at 5,000 rpms just so when you floor it you will have torque

Your trip to the store to get some juice takes an hour and a half....

You wake up in the morning and look forward to going out in the cold to start your car....

You never miss leaving the cd's in your other car.....

Citibank sends you Birthday and Christmas cards just to say Thank You....

You know you are a rx-8 driver when you have never seen the MPG that your car is suppose to get.

You know you’re an RX-8 owner when you have one of the most fun, hottest cars there is BUT . . . you can’t drive it because it is in the shop for a CEL (or) the battery is dead (or) there is snow on the ground (or) you are driving your 1 Ton truck because it gets better gas mileage.

When you get 18 mpg from a tank of gas . . . and you're surprised at the sudden increase in gas mileage.

when:
you spend all your spare time looking at this forum, because you love reading how much everyone loves their car
you just want to keep driving and will make up any excuse to go somewhere in your 8
you wash your car at least once a week

A new set of forged rims takes precedence over that damn wedding ring you were going to buy.
