The curse of "silver"

WOW, where did this whole thing even come from?! It's ridiculous. I mean I have crashed my 8 but I don't think there is a curse on it at all! it was just the stupidity of other drives.

Enlighten me on this curse

Silver curse comes from the abnormal amount of RX8 accidents involving silver rx8's.

Has anyone considered that maybe silver is just extrememly common

BINGO!! Take a look at the first photo, there are two other Silver cars in that pic. Its a very common color that blends in with the road. Silver is also hard to see in bad weather.
I don't have that issue owing a Lighting Yellow

and you all are wrong about the origin. Of course Britney sitting her (at the time) quite fine *** on the hood of a silver and autographing it didnt help, but...


the Origin of the Curse was in this thread by Brothervoodoo in 2003

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ighlight=curse

when a guy with "voodoo" in his name says curse... its a curse.

silver is the only color of rx-8 to be ran over by a tank. that is proof enough to me that the curse is real
