What would you do for a Rx-8?

I'm watching Fear Factor and they're eating African Cave Spiders and they get 2 poker chips per spider and then they get to place them on a Roulette Table... if it lands on their number they won a Rx-8.


Don't know about ya'll... but there's no way in hell I'd do that... of coarse I have arachniphobia

That's almost how I feel... I grew up on a farm so I've eaten some pretty wierd ****... but LIVE spiders isn't one of them and will never be on the list of things to eat or have been eaten.

I don't think that eating spiders is all that bad for esentially 20k-25k. I personally am not a huge fan of the 8's but you could still sell it for one hell of a 3rd gen!

I would eat spiders for an 8!

Are you kidding, I love that feature. A lot like my GXSR1000, just without the gear position indicator.

Jeez, I spent all that money to get mine, and all I had to do was eat some spiders?

I don't care how fast your car is, if you're not fast, your car wont be either.

ewww spiders
spiders, flying insect things (other than just houseflys.. but like bees/dragonflies/etc)
I'd have to be with the general concensus here... I like my 2nd/1st gen better than an 8... even though the 1st is my GF's... i still wanna get me a 1st gen with a t2 swap in it someday
