i just got to north carolina last week went out drinking last night i had a DD so everything was good my cousin dropped me off at home and then went to his house. well my brother calls me around noon saying he saw an 8 on the back of a tow truck totalled that looked just like mine...luckily it wasnt mine so im wondering if its anyone on here and if they are alright? its in the fayetteville NC area

 

maybe move this to a regional forum?
Bummer about a totalled 8, hope the driver is alright.

 

if thats yours in your avi than "The Curse of The Silver" strikes again

 

'The Silver Curse' is pure superstition... Silver is the most popular automotive color...there are more Silver RX-8s than any other color, meaning the chance of a Silver RX-8 being wrecked is higher by default. Get over it.

Another thing is that silver or black cars are harder to spot if you aren't paying enough attention. I've had people walk right into the road in front of me and then panic when they realize I'm coming. Or, people almost nailing me because they didn't see me while merging.
Ergo, things that didn't happen when I was driving bright blue or red cars..

And for the record, school bus yellow is the least popular and safest color to have because they're so easy to spot...hence why school buses are yellow...

 

A yeah, we've been over that already. He was being facetious.

 

Just stating a fact...lol

 

Obvious*.... again.

FAIL.

 

another one bites the dust.. dang...

 

nope the cars crash themselves for being silver. its a known fact

 

Silver is optically difficult to see at dawn and dusk. You're also the same color as old asphalt. Hence BANG CRASH BOOM.

NH

 

Soooo, what you are saying is that silver (along with black) is the least safe color.

 

Daytime running lights are worth 1000 times their weight in body work.

 

till EVERYBODY get them then you stop noticing them because they no longer 'stand out' or 'catch your eye'.
