I usually get mistaken for a Boxster... no problem there.

Although a guy pulled up to me and asked if it was a Tiburon. I put my head back against the headrest and burst out laughing... he felt kinda stupid...

Then again, can everyone tell the difference between a Spitfire, Hurricane, Mustang, Typhoon, etc... we're into cars, to us there's a huge difference between a Z and an RX8... for someone who views cars as just transportation, they've both got 4 wheels, so they look the same.

A TIBURON !!! You should have said: "No, moron it's the new Santa Fe."

I think the best answer would have been "I eat Tiburons for lunch."

Note to Bighead: watch "Back To The Future".

No no, I've seen Back to the Future.

The correct response would have been, Jigga Who?

It was at an Advanced Auto Parts Store!!!!!

Both workers came out and said "Hey can we check out your new RX-8"!

My girlfriend about busted out laughing.....and I had to calmly tell them: "No you can't look at my RX-8 because I don't have one! Its a 350Z!"

When I had my car for the first few weeks, my friend with a Trans-Am kept telling me the same thing. I used to reply "Yeah, well it's better than your bathtub, I guess."

You guys know that guy in the Ferrari was the producer for FATF? And the guy in the pizza delivery car was the director. (Useless knowledge contributed for all of your enjoyment!)

It's actually 1.21 Jigawatts. Or equal to that of a bolt of lightening. You need a nuclear reaction to generate that kind of power. It goes into the flux capacitor and thats what make time travel possible.
