Angry Unfriendly 8 Drivers

around the 909 area *walnut*
there are so many new 8 drivers. i see at least 4-5 8s a day..
*Silver,Ti-Grey,B-Black,White,W-blue*
either just bought used or new.
ALMOST ALL OF THEM are UNFRIENDLY AS HELL man...
you can literally drive next to them
and they just mind their own business and dont give a darn **** about you!
its like DUDE we drive the same car.. its a nice car.. any recognition?
*sigh* i am asian myself.. and seriously most of them are those hardcore FOB guys

I feel you man. I drive around the L.A. area, and im the only 8 in my city, and when i do see an 8 on the streets i catch them up and its always a older man/woman and they give me this weird look like if theyre disgusted by me. its a shame indeed

That's what I've been saying all along! I hope Mazda's sales on the RX-8 goes down (I know I'm going to be flamed for saying that) so that no new people that disrespects the 8 buys one! This will also make our car an exotic to some extent!

The RX-8 is definitely a niche vehicle, but there are a lot of people who drive it and are not "into" the car as we are here on the board.

I see tons of 8s daily, most of them without a single mod.

Seeing someone wave back or even nod is more often the exception than the norm.

I was just thinking yesterday that people on this board can have an inside hand gesture when we pass each other.. Something like the letter "R" in sign language.

I'm not getting any love down in El Segundo either. How hard is it to just nod? It's not like we are asking for a donation or anything? I am seriously considering a hand gesture, but not the "signed" letter R.

Alright, instead of the "R" sign, I think the "8" sign is better. Doesn't look like your giving someone the finger.
