A bird poops on your hood and you complain to your local audubon society

No More Oldsmobiles

When you see a picture of Darth Vader and think: "Brilliant Black, nice shine."

Ok Heres the top XX: (up to 20)
Any additions/changes welcome.

You Know your a Rx-8 owner when:

Your cupholders have either kept your coffee warm or fried your IPOD.
Your parking space is a longer walk than it took you to drive there.
Your significant other finds you spending too much quaility time with tailpipes.
You keep a 10mm socket in your glovebox. (70%est of the blots/screws are 10mm)
You wonder why "Porshce 944" drivers keep waving at you.
You know that a large pizza from Domino's fits sungly in your trunk depression and replaces the "Heat Wave".
You never knew that Nissan made a sportscar....until you passed one!
You offer to do the grocery shopping but are dissappionted to see the ice cream has melted.
You no longer think about water when "flash flood warnings" are announced.
You bought this shirt.


For comparision this is some of the stuff the 7club came up with:
1. You think that, "the '7' can't lose!"
2. You pull into the gas station and tell them to top off the oil and put a quart of gas in.
3. You have asked people if they want to play with your Wankel.
4. You know every bus schedule in town by heart.
5. You look into the men's urinal and see a rotor shaped sanitary cake. You chuckle.
6. You buy parts cars because it's cheaper than buying the actual part you need...
7. You carry a fire extinguisher in your car because you ACTUALLY think it might catch on fire.
8. The local cops have your car memorized, and know your name and address by heart.
9. Your girlfriend knows more about cars than most full-time mechanics.
10. You spend twice as much money on gas as you do on food.
11. You never surprise anyone; they can hear you coming for miles.
12. Your car can go over 100 mph with a 'blown' engine
13. You talk to your car and have named it after someone that you never had a chance with.
14. You downshift at 4500 RPM.
15. You wonder why they haven't bothered making cop cars faster.
16. You hear a chainsaw starting, you run to the window to make sure your car isn’t being stolen.
17. You think your car has feelings, and you try not to hurt them
18. You find your self yelling, "Where the hell is my 10 mm now?"
19. You have black burnout marks on your garage floor cause you were so damn happy it ran
20. You bought this shirt.

that one about spending time with tailpipes is true. I spend a good amount of time polishing the exhaust tips every morning.

From the Rx 7 list I vote to have #3 and 5 on the RX8 shirt.
I like the following IMO:
You bought this shirt.
Your wife gives you an ultimatum...and you keep the 8
You grin, just because you thought about your 8
You try to drive by buildings with glass to see your 8 in the reflection
You walk out of a building with people and lookat the 8 and go"wow...that's a hot looking car...oh wait, thats MY car!"
You didn't know Nissan made a sportscar ...until you passed one.
The only photo of your wife in your wallet is her standing behind the 8 so as not to block the view.

That's only 7 but I vote for those.

Why are almost 50% of the ones you've selected so far related to negative things about the car? I wouldn't personally buy one unless it had more positive on it... I love my car and have not had any of these problems, nor will I walk around with a shirt advertising them. Yes some of them are funny, but 50% problem related? Come on!

aight pappy make a list, beside i shouldn't be the only one deciding what goes on there, the quirks make it what makes it an 8, everyone grins if they they think about their car.... (assuming its a nice car) etc.....

Btw i only see 2 or 3 that i consider "negative".

guitrblus

If someone asks "that got a V8?" you go into an explanation of the rotary engine that goes beyond what they wanted to know.

MX6_2_RX8

I agree with PoLaK, the only negatives are about the cup holders - Who Cares, and the flash flood warnings and, you have to admit that is a good play on words.

I of course like the one about the ice cream because it is mine and some people probably don't even get it (and might consider it a negative)

I also like the downshift at 4500 RPM from the RX-7 shirt but I think you should add - 2 gears.

I also like the previous post about the explanation.

I'd drop off "you bought this shirt" too geeky. That's just me.

bigblockbeater

when you put over 1,000 miles in the first week just to make sure its broken in
when a begger forgets he is begging when he walks up to your car (yes it happened to me)
when your problem list reaches two pages, but you still love it.
when your upgrade wish list costs more then the RX-8
when someone asks if its a v6 or inline 4 and you say, "yep"
when you know how much oil is needed at every fill up
when you know the price of gas at every station in town
when you don't notice the eclipse gs-t reving back at you because you are too busy making music with your right foot (also happened to me)
when every car kinda looks like an RX-8 at certain angles
when you take the time to come up with a top ten list

You are riding in someone elses car but you still remove your seatbeat and open the door to let someone out the back.

You hear "long winded explaination", you think RotaryGod.

You get to work early so you can park your car just outside your window - facing you, smiling at you, ... sigh!

I'm glad I didn't bring lunch today - I have to drive to pick up lunch!

Paul_in_DC

An hour after your drive, you can still feel your hands buzzing.

Wildcard

You look down and realise that you have been driving at 5000rpm for the last 5 minutes.

bmcc49er

Ditto...

Snowdog

Agreed!

I'll have to add:
You are driving up a hill that you used to have to downshift in your former "mundane 4 cyl car" not to bog it down, and in the 8, you're in 5 gear at 40mph, and going up the hill, what do you do?
...give it a little more gas! That's it. :D

Also:
You've got some goober in a Ford TEMPO riding your butt in a neighborhood, when you can pull out on a main street (yield sign! ) you can do it at 30 mph without drama. (and they have to slow WAY down, and still look like they couldn't handle it! )

phee

You're sitting at a red light and hear honking. Only they're not honking at you, but rather the guy next to you because his light's been green for what seems like light years and he's staring at your car trying to either 1) figure out what it is, or 2) take in the beauty of this machine, or 3) both. This actually happened to me tonight on the way home from work. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this car?
