View Full Version : What is the Silver 8 Curse? Sushi 04-09-2008, 10:58 AM I have a sunlight silver 8 and am wondering what the curse is. :scared: Sushi 04-09-2008, 11:00 AM whoops nevermind I see it now. I searched but spelled silver wrong. Hope mine doesnt crash. alz0rz 04-09-2008, 11:01 AM lol. Renesis07 04-09-2008, 11:06 AM there is an abnormal number of wrecks involving silver 8's as opposed to the other colors. Rems31 04-09-2008, 11:09 AM there is an abnormal number of wrecks involving silver 8's as opposed to the other colors. but the percentage of silver wrecked 8's to total number of silver 8s is similar to [inser colour here] wrecked 8's to total number of [same colour here] 8's. Jedi54 04-09-2008, 11:21 AM oh crap, I'm posting after a silver car. This shit better not be contagious! I don't need my car spontaneously combusting in my garage later today. :rofl: :scared: bose 04-09-2008, 11:36 AM And now you have a silver posting after you, if it's contagious, your for sure gonna get it.

My insurance however is sky high. Things like this also happen when you go to get fucking MILK from the fucking Food Lion. http://filebox.vt.edu/users/anrobin4/FenderRub.jpg Inexcusible color choice. shaunv74 04-09-2008, 02:44 PM The Silver is also the only color RX8 to have been hit by a tank.:) SideOfBacon 04-09-2008, 02:49 PM ^ :rofl: bose 04-09-2008, 04:00 PM no shit a tank? how in the hell.

Very sad. superglue 04-09-2008, 06:07 PM That's god's punishment for choosing such a boring color on such a fun car. chrism 04-09-2008, 06:13 PM i try not to even park near them at meets tajabaho1 04-09-2008, 10:42 PM ^ thats just cold Chris most of your old nitrous stuff is on a silver car :( delhi 04-09-2008, 11:14 PM And Britney drove a Silver RX-8 in her music video!!!!

Only works on the old 3's. rot8tn 04-10-2008, 04:56 PM i have a silver one......... and got T-bone 3 months after i got it lol, it is curse but im thinking about trading it in for a black one tho :) Jedi54 04-10-2008, 05:07 PM black IS the fastest! DemonRX-8 04-12-2008, 01:51 PM I subscribe to the theory that if I don't learn about the "curse" it will not affect me. Sort of like how Bugs Bunny walks off the clif without falling because he never studied gravity! Actually, it's probably just a conception of a curse since silver is by far the most popular color of car. Anyone ever study the percent of incidents relative to the total number by color? I'd think that it will probably average out even. SilverHokie 04-13-2008, 10:14 AM You live in Tyson's Corner. I do stand-up around there sometimes...a place called Wiseacres. Nice. Silver = Win. CarAndDriver 04-13-2008, 12:53 PM I like silver, but mine is black. DemonRX-8 04-13-2008, 01:39 PM You live in Tyson's Corner. I do stand-up around there sometimes...a place called Wiseacres. Nice. Silver = Win. No kidding? I've always wanted to check out Wiseacres on their open mike nights, but I'm too chicken to try it. Let me know when you're there - maybe I can swing by. BTW, I'm a Hokie too! SilverEIGHT 04-13-2008, 02:53 PM There's no such thing as the "Silver Curse". There's this thing called "Stupid Driving" and I represent that remark to it's fullest.
