Man, Ryan....your story sounds exactly like mine...hahah Except, me and nobody else has flooded the car. I don't let anybody touch my car. I'm not snobby and well off enough to eat at those places where valet parking is available either..hahah


There is waaaayyyy too many people whining about small things.

Outstanding legal advice. My compliments :D

Can I get an AMEN up in here ???

Yeah, I parked it in dad's monstrous garage for the rough months of the winter after spinning out in the snow. I can't afford valets either. And, after having a Mazda dealership wreck my first 94 RX-7 (yeah, the bastich was joyriding) I rarely let anyone touch the cars.

Seriously, though. There have been numerous threads relative to flooding and proper operation of the vehicle. I recommend we NOT turn this into another "flooding issues thread."

I'll reiterate what I posted earlier in this thread: "a great product" sells cars. Great product in this case is the driving dynamic and overall "optimized and unconventional design" of the vehicle.

Flooding is an avoidable operational issue.

Mileage appears to be an issue related to driving style (just my observation), although I'll add that I certainly don't baby the car, and I've averaged ~18.5mpg in mixed, mostly city driving.

Ciao!

I agree Darren. My intention was not to turn this into another redundant debate. Normally I just read on this forum and don't add much. However, when I start reading BS - I just get to the point where I have to pipe up. I have a serious problem with posts that are designed to do nothing more than bitch and moan without adding anything constructive or educational. In fact - I say we just close this damned thread.

I wind mine out the minute it reaches normal operating temp....man, I drive mine like I stole it almost all the time(I gotta drive sanely with the wife and kids in the car, hahah) and I'm getting 18mpg. On my last highway trip I got 22mpg, cruising at 75mph. My old Suzuki Grand Vitara was barely getting 17mpg and it was nowhere near as fun to drive. I know it'll never end...but I don't repsect the people with all the nonsense whining. It also bugs me that they seem to be the majority....

Twin 8s!

So to close out all the negative vibes ...

Recommend all that are unhappy with their 8s, take advantage of the For Sale section on this site or post a for sale item on E-Bay.

I hear that. I drive ALOT for work and the cars makes it totally enjoyable. I think the reason for all the negativity is that MOST owners are perfectly happy. The MAJORITY is out enjoying their cars and their lives instead of moaning on this website. The MINORITY just happens to be the MAJORITY on the website. Unfortunately that's the way it has alwasy been - even on the 7 site.
