Not a curse. As has been mentioned, you can't see them. They are the same color as the highway. Even more so when the road is wet.
I was at Daytona during the 24 hours around dusk when a car on the tri-oval was having problems and was not up to speed. Along came a fast prototype that ran over the slower car,destroying both cars. Guess what color the slower car was??? GREY
No grey car for me!
Be safe out there!

silver is one of the most common colors on the road.
Its not a curse, its the fact that there's more silvers on the road than PB's, BB's, LY's, etc etc.
Second most common is probably VR, is there a curse for that also?

Ironically, the cars I owned after the Jeep were both silver. I risked it

I think this has less to do with a silver car and more to do with the "curse of the red jeep".

i'm completely convinced that there is a curse of the Sunlight Silver 8's...i'll never own a silver 8...
on a side note, over the summer i sold an 84 RX-7 that i cherished. it was a Sunbeam Silver metallic GSL. it had 55K original miles. the paint was near flawless(obvious repaint on the front nose..collision maybe..curse maybe.) i bought it and it needed a clutch...i pull the trans, clutch, and attempt to remove the pilot bearing...i have the oem pilot bearing puller....and the pilot bearing was heat seized to the eccentric shaft. that was nothing short of a nightmare....the brakes would always squeal, the clutch pedal never felt quite right...you know, for a car with so few miles you think it would have been worlds better than it was...the curse might have been in effect in the 80's as well...just like a virus...growing..waiting to pounce..
