Man thank god I didn't settle on the Xfire, I was under the impression it was a sports car, not some glorified 2 seater Mercedes.

I was also wondering why you only wanted 1 girl with a fine *** in your car, but then I remembered you don't have an four seats like I do

3 > 1


Just put a big metal can on it for a muffler/tailpipe and you can go play with the rest of the rice burners

Eh, actually I'm not cheap at all. I said I got a better DEAL on the car, I said nothing about it being cheaper or more expensive than the Xfire. Nice try though.

I don't do much chasing myself for women, with or without the 8 they find their way to me on their own. No equipment necessary, the 8 is just an added bonus for their find

I guess you need a car to do all the talking for you. Picking up bar skanks is pretty easy in just about any car, I'm glad you've found that out.

As far as "schooling" me goes, no thanks. I've gotten into enough trouble as t is with my Trans Am doing street racing when I was younger, I don't want to go through it again - Besides, you wanting to school me shows me the insecurities you have in your car. If it was a known that you'd beat any rx-8 any given day, then there would be no reason to race me or even think about it because it would be understood by everyone that Xfires are clearly superior to 8's, and then there wouldn't even be this discussion in the first place.

As far as the RX-8 being a sedan, it puts out roughly more horsepower than the Base model Xfire, and it's cheaper on the insurance, and a hell of a lot safer in a crash. I call that win/win.

Granted there are idiots out there with that rice out RX-8's, we all like to point and laugh at them as well. I'm pretty sure we're not the only lot of people that have those black sheep. I bet there are some "tricked" out Crossfires out there. Just because you have mercedes parts doesn't make your car immune to stupidity, you're no exception to the rule obviously.

Glad you "stomped his ***" though! Street racing was fun in high school, I won't lie. But the danger and the risk of being caught isn't something I'm into anymore, once you graduate you'll understand.

As far as the 13b Renesis, yeah, it's not the greatest, but like I said, the 16X will fix all those problems

Carry on

Hardly see how it's rice, looks nothing like a civic and it sure doesn't have four cylinders.

Like I said in my reply to irwin, I'm sure you guys have a few blacksheep xfire's out there that are just as ridiculous as ours

Everyones car has them, and they should all die in a grease fire

1. That was a pretty poor attempt at making a crack about my member

2. It isn't ****, it's the ****!

3. I live in Texas, that's a pretty big trip for me to take for uh...no reason, besides, I'd have to come on the weekend since you're in school on the weekdays. And I'd rather not waste my days I normally relax on visiting you, maybe you can come down here on spring break

4. I know about auto cross and tracks, I use to go to them you tool with my Trans Am. I grew out of STREET RACING when I graduated high school, I didn't say anything about Auto-X events. Even so, I don't normally do them a lot with my 8, it's my daily driver and I want to try to keep it mint as long as I can - If you come down to Texas, I'll show you the new track we recently got.

5. I gradumicated just liek u will next yeer!

6. I've got a set, I'll show you mine if you show me yours

7. Later I R W I N




or is it U R L O S E lololol

Frankly, I really don't think there's anything else necessary to say. And their forum seems to be more interested in cats and dogs than cars. Here's another live thread documenting the infantile level of their discourse. Go home Shini....

I'm jocking, but Xfire is not so unconfortable to be a sport car. I drivent it this summer from barcellone to milan, in one day taking break only at petrol station. After 800km I decide to don't use frejus tunnel (tunnel crossing the alps from france to italy) but I done the Stelvio pass (more than 2000m high).....
Xfire is a good balance between sport and confort.... is not a 350Z but I like tha handling of my car...

Nothing wrong with a bit of the christmas spirit - We have a few members that add santa hats to our avatars this time of year to celebrate and have some fun. I got a kick out of a joke one that someone made for me, and thus, you have it right there! I rather like it

Infantile level? Infants can't even use a computer, that would be impossible for us to be able to pull off.

However the way you're reacting to all this is pretty infantile.

Technically speaking, since I was at work earlier, I am home now

Here's the original Muse.jpg

Good job I might say!

By the way, everything you see there is in our Lounge section, not the RX-8 Discussion. So uh, yeah, you're bound to see more lolcat pictures then you would anywhere else in the forum. Sorry you don't have the same sense of humor some of us do. You should get out more I guess?

Congratulations. Please stay there. Or perhaps take a ride with your suicide doors. "Technically speaking," of course. And, oh, the hat is a real improvement. You should use it more often.

I'll keep that in mind!

I could mock you for having a car named after a hasbro board game, but I wouldn't feel right doing it since I had it when I was a kid and boy was it fun.

You'll get caught up in the CROSSFIRE!

Congrats on such a great purchase though I do like the looks of the Xfire and it wasn't a bad ride.

Oh, and keep up the attempts on trying to strike a nerve, I guess you're taking the "If I throw enough **** agaisnt the wall, eventually it will stick" attempt.

Good luck!

Thought I'd share this. Someone posted it in the Xfire thread.

Thought you guys might want to see this, if you already hadn't

"For 5,000 less, you could get the Mazda RX-8...It's a no brainer"

I have to say though, after watching that video, I never knew how ridiculously small the trunk lid was, that's incredible!

And if you'd like to compare test drives that they did, the only thing they could complain about were the OEM tires, easily replaced.

Regardless of the car, and regardless of his "affiliation", Shini has shown me that he can be a gentleman and maintain his composure, despite the insults thrown at him. To me, that speaks volumes about his character... perhaps some of us Crossfire guys can copy that?

I've read this entire thread, and saw nothing that should step on any of the Crossifre community's toes... providing security is present within the individual. Sure, the whole thing was a stab at us. But should it really offend us to the point to where we lose our cool? Nah... c'mon guys. A wise man once said: it is far better to keep your mouth shut and appear ignorant, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I'm a Ford owner for Pete's sake... believe me, I got used to catching hell from the bowtie guys just as much as the X-fire peeps get trash talked to them by the import crowd. That's why you simply smile, nod, and hope for an opportunity in the future to line up beside one and humble it. It's a far more impressive way to handle the situation, and the point will still be made.

I'm sure Andrew (our admin) would agree on a few of those points, as he strikes me as a standup guy.

Welcome the new guy, smile at the joke, and call it a day. Life goes on folks...

Thanks for calming the waters a little, at first I thought this was just a terrible idea, for awhile I didn't think I'd find a decent person on here that understood that I'm don't really care if the Xfire is a bad or a good car. People have their opinions, it obviously has sold in a good qauntity for it being around for a few years. Which goes without saying that it has to be a good car atleast! Hell, I test drove it when I was browsing for a new car and it got my attention, twice!

It's just typical for X car owner to hate X car owner, and I find humor in making jokes about the Xfire, much as I'm sure you guys find humor in laughing at the 8, nothing wrong with it, but taking it down to a juvenile level where you try to make personal insults about someones avatar, or daring them to race with you, you're taking A BIT over-board.

C'mon guys, we're all people here, we just drive different cars, just laugh at come back with something more witty than insults.

For isntance, you could make a crack about my tail-lights being good fish tanks, because a lot of the fixtures were flawed and allowed condensation to get it, and eventually they were fish tanks!

But going "AH NAH FOOL, I'LL TAKE U OFF THE LINE SUCKA, I DARE YOU SON!" or "Look at your engine recall, who would want to buy a car that has that?"

You guys seem like pretty intelligent people (except irwin, god help you!), you can come up with a joke atleast I'm sure other than just reposted recalls or double dog dares, or worse, making a joke out of my joke avatar?? lololol Oh man, the irony in that one!

With all that said, your car does look like a sqauting dog Admit it!

Tell me where new RX-8s are selling for as little as $13,800.

I bought a new Crossfire in August 2007 for $18,800 from a Chrysler dealer. If the premise of your argument is that you get more car for your money buying the RX-8, you are highly mistaken. One last point, I'd buy a Miata before I would ever consider an 8.
