I hate your RX-8.
I had a conversation today with a guy who has recently purchased a Sunlight Silver RX-8.
He knew of The Curse of the Silver.....but he bought it anyway. Mad, the bastard. This guy told me I was a religious colour zealot. He is right.
I hate all your RX-8's.....unless you own a white one

Why yes...it does!!
When I bought mine in Feb 04, I purchased the colour I hated the least. I had to have this car, it was such a great drive....but I was tormented over the colour choice.....

Remember this Silver one that got squashed by an Abrams US Army Tank?
The driver must've hated Silver. Could have been The Curse, I suppose...

A bit too outre for me, but he tracked a lot so I guess it suited him.
Otherwise, don't be too hard on yourself Gomez. The WB is the second-best colour.
Stealth is still best. White is third.

OH GREAT!!! That's all I need!!
I'll be sure to add some holy water to the to the bucket today when i wash it. Cars at teh dealer right now for some recall work. Now that i think of it i may have been cursed already. I found out about the recall on here a few days ago. ALthough i never recieved a notice from Mazda. I called them up to see why i never got the notice and after holding for about 30 minutes, I was told "Well............these things get lost in the mail all the time."

I suspect that your information is in fact a rumour that is based on a single accident where a foolish Titanium owner (now ex-owner), who was wearing too much silver jewellery AND switched of their DSC, tempted fate.. Never wear silver jewellery or watches
Needless to say that Silver RX-8 owners who wear too much Silver jewellery could be arrested for attempted suicide.. 
Labrat - perhaps you would like to elaborate on the Chemistry of Silver RX-8s?

Here's a Titanium one that suffered under the curse. In fact it's triple cursed, it has the dopey leather pack and the Aussie Shinka pack. The owner of this car had no chance really.... 
I hate Shinka's...

The power of the curse is so intense that even Titanium Gray falls under the spell just because it's considered a "dark silver".
