Luck of the Irish vs The Curse of the Silver RX-8's

Consider this a proclamation officially ending the silver curse on all RX-8's henceforth and forevermore. Furthermore, all silver RX-8's will no longer suffer any abuses of the curse and live as all other normal RX-8's do.


I hold forth as such evidence as was witnessed by Hidef1080 on his way to work June the 11th in the year of our Lord Twenty Hundred and Nine.
I was on my way to work driving down 285 in Atlanta headed to the Cobb Parkway exit with an 18 wheeler on my left in the next lane. I passed said 18 wheeler and as I was no less than a car length in front of him I hear a loud boom which I thought was a shotgun blast. I look in my rear view mirror only to see that the 18 wheeler had a blowout and swerved into my lane.
Needless to say, had I been next to the tire when it let go [I drive with my windows down] or just next to the truck when it swerved I might not be sitting here writing this.


All I can say is that the luck of the Irish is so strong it supersedes any silver curses of old.


How strong is the luck of the Irish?
I'm not even Irish and I was covered.

lol tough **** man and you are right n o one ***** with irish luck.

btw I got rear ended on the interstate going 80 mph a while back and the car that hit me ended up getting totalled. I ended up with no damage just a couple minor scratches..jus barely nudged my rear bumper lol (you can't even tell - less then $100 to fix properly).

In fact when I first got hit and looked into my rear view I thought something blew out of my car cuz all the sudden my car boosted from 70 to 80 mph and there was a cloud of dust that looked like smoke. It was actually the car that hit my bumper and flew off the road into a light pole.

And then when I stopped to look there was literally no damage. Wtf. I still don't understand it lol.

The luck of the 8. =D
