Woah, that's pretty insane.. I bet the person who pulled out infront of the RX-8 is screwed because he has everything on tape that it's the trucks fault! I need to put a camera on my car when driving around Vegas, people tend to do that a lot out here. They will tend to look only in 1 direction when they pull out, they don't even bother looking if another car is coming from the other direction..

I'm also surprised that a mod like yourself zoom would post this in the RX-8 News Section instead of the RX-8 Multimedia/Photo Gallery. It looks like you might have to move your own thread..

Many drivers are just retarded. They don't look at their rear view or side view mirrors before changing lanes, nor do they turn their head to check their blind spots before changing lanes.

Another problem is SUVs, trucks, and vans play the "I'm bigger, so get out the way" game. ******** will jump in front of other cars, change lanes and slam their brakes, do not use turn signals, really stupid sh*t like swerving back and forth or driving on the white line so you are not sure if they intend to change lanes or not, etc.... Some of the *** hats seem to get excited when they see a sports car and just start f*cking with you.

There is also a chance that some people are blind to silver and gray. They may lack proper color vision. But I doubt this. For instance I installed and have clearly blue fog lights, that I use in rain or low visible type conditions. You can definitely see them, but still *** hats do the same tricks they also do.

This thread and the "Pics from dealerships in Japan" should be both moved to the RX-8 Multimedia/Photo Gallery since they are not RX-8 News related.

The gear grinding in the last video was awful. I heard it once, then twice, then thrice...then he just destroys the car.
Epic fail...

What a way to start out a morning... I almost cried watching each one... sometimes out of laughter.

If I get into an accident on the way home today, I'm blaming you guys.
