NO SIR, you have it all wrong. just because an rx-8 has an accident, doesn't mean it is cursed, IF IT GETS RAN OVER BY A FREAKING TANK, NOW THATS A CURSE

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

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..

The overinflated number of silver rx8 accidents isnt due to a bs curse its due to the mass production of the most common color for an automobile in existence.

Ill admit, the tank running over the silver 8 didnt help my case however

alright guys, this sucks. i saw this thread for the first time last night, and today, a SnapOn truck backed into to me and took out my rear left corner. I've had this car for almost 2 years and its been accident-free. Never using SnapOn tools again!

Silver is the most common color, so of course it'll be the color that is crashed the most. It would never be white, for example, because that's the rarest color (please spare me the Shinka color BS).

^^ My point exactly, that is why I started my quest which lead me to the magical picture of a Velocity red RX8 ran over by a tank which would act as proof and our point of how false the silver curse is will conquer the minds of silver rx8 owners everywhere and restore peace amonst our community.
