there is an abnormal number of wrecks involving silver 8's as opposed to the other colors.

Yep...fairly true...the dealer gave me $2000 off asking price because I actually test drove it. My insurance however is sky high.

Things like this also happen when you go to get ******* MILK from the ******* Food Lion.



Inexcusible color choice.

The Silver is also the only color RX8 to have been hit by a tank.

Wow, crazy, I like how you can see the tracks of the tank leading from the garage right to the 8, lol. Very sad.
