The silver curse is a myth. The last 5 8's I've seen wrecked have been GG, VR, CR, TiG, & Black.

It's the driver, not the car color. Come on.

I've driven silver cars for 35 years. Never wrecked one.

You should've said something. You could've got all the credit for being "the first." Glad you're okay.
