What is it with RX-8 drivers?

[Somnophore]

Seem to be lots of utter idiots in RX-8s round here roof rediculous over, under, over, undertakes at 120mph on the bypass, had 3 different ones in as many days, and another overtaking on a blind bend with solid whites, is it because they are cheap performance car they fall into the hands of chavs?

• brakes self for Mazda fanboys to kick off*

I saw a mong driving a Golf once.

[citizen_smith]

I'm surprised any chavs could afford to run them, given the extortinate insurance and tax, and the terribly low mpg.

[Tonberry]

Meh...

At least they're driving them properly instead of pootling around.

What do you mean? I've only ever seen them at petrol stations.

my guess is its the people that drive cars that are cocks so they would drive like cocks in all of the above models

(feel free to add your own cars at least then its all in one place)

Careful, there are peeps on here with a mission to vigourously defend the RX-8.;)

You could call them zealots.

Last time I dared to criticise it, it all bounced back on me with fanboys finding pixxors of my car and using that to attack me back.

@ angryorangefocus

Back on topic, my younger brother has an RX8.

Honestly he is probably the worst driver in the world. He has written off two of his cars in the last few years - both fwd ffs! I dread to think what he'll do with a rwd car.

[Somnophore]

I know my car is st compared to most things, doesn't bother me, I'll get a better car when I've saved up.
Just think it's interesting there's so many around here with no road manners, being a bit wild, plenty of boxters, 350zs around here etc but apart from one guy in a White cayman who seems determined to try and kill himself it's just the RX-8s I keep noticing

[SmoothRB]

An RX8 is not a performance car.

It's always the ones with the empty profile isn't it?

It's NOT a performance car, just like an MX-5 is not either.

I've got a 33 GTST (modified) and a stock ver 5 Sti wagon.

I've never seen an RX-8 at modders/enthusiasts car meets.

I don't even know what they are.

Probably because the owners have wives and girlfriends.

I've never seen a McLaren F1 at a modders/enthusiasts car meet either, so I guess that's not a performance car either then. . . . . . . . .

[adycav]

I meant SmoothRB following his RX8 not being a performance car comment, not the OP.

[Rawwr]

My bad.

I've seen loads. In fact I used to own 10.

• Don't believe everything you read on the interweb.

Look an RX-8 is a bit like a 350Z. It's a slightly showy, pretty car, which is nice to drive down to Sainsburys in.
