Got this off a website last week and I'm just now remembering to post it. I feel for the RX8 but I feel even more for the Driver! Does anybody know what happened? I'm guessing its somewhere in Jew Jersey.

i think i just sharted/..

Well the airbags went off.. and it's also a silver.... Maybe it was someone here.

Looks like it caught fire after the accident...

Yeah I think it did and a lot of the air bags went off. Looks like a pretty bad accident!

I remember seeing this posted a long time ago, you might be able to find it again, I think it had a bit of info about the crash.

I'll see if I can find it, I would like to know what happened

It's from right after the release of the RX-8 and I haven't been able to find anything in a search.

But...

Why does it always seems like it's the morons that cause stupid accidents like this that live :(

Hello, and welcome to 2003!

This is the guy who was street-racing a VW GTI in Philly along one of those long, straight streets near the stadiums (Packer Ave.? Delaware Ave?) late one night after a game, hit something, landed on another car (maybe the GTI?) killing the other occupants. The f*cktard in the RX-8 survived relatively uninjured, was convicted of vehicular manslaughter and is now living in State pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

This was covered on this forum, and on www.vwvortex.com at the time. It's one of, if not the, earliest 'total' of an RX-8 in the US, and is probably the origin of the curse of the Sunlight Silvers.

I think you mean it WAS an M3 :(

holly crap, I hope I never see that in person.

Indeed this happened 2 years ago...starting to feel old now with the RX-8 with all these reposts - sigh...

Wayne

i'm not gonna touch this one

Indeed this happened 2 years ago...starting to feel old now with the RX-8 with all these reposts - sigh..You and me both, what was old turns into new news....

i think that if i wrecked mine that bad i would rather not come away from it. that way i dont have to look at what happened to my car.

silvers have bad luck? what about the yellows? around october i was drving in town and got rearended by some fucknut semi driver IN THE OTHER LANE.... i know i have to give room to those suckers but i was almost hitting the cars parked. when he hit me his tire got so much grip on my car it ramped up and totally smashed my rear left. luckly it was only cosmetic stuff nothing with the axel or anything. took a month to fix. And for those people who thought i should have gave him more room, when i got out he was a 1/4 on my side...lol

Woah we have Irish8 and Irish_in_a_8 both in one thread. When's the bar fight gonna start?! ;)

and another.....believe it or not..this is an M3

silvers have bad luck?Actually at the time of seeing this crash and noting a few others, is when I started the "sunlight silver curse".

There's been some bad ones with other colors, I recall the first crash n Japan and it was Yellow. But a disportionate amount of wrecks seem to be silver.

OH Yeah! I look at www.wreckedexotics.com all the time. There's a bunch of that kind of stuff in there. Lots of great sports cars that are totaled. It tells a little about the accident. Usually the description is, "Driver was drinking and showing off."
