(hopefully I'm beyond the curse - someone already put their boot into my driver's door - and never even got in)
VA CA ah? Sounds like someone was trying that old pop a lock trick on your 8 . Only works on the old 3's.

I subscribe to the theory that if I don't learn about the "curse" it will not affect me. Sort of like how Bugs Bunny walks off the clif without falling because he never studied gravity!

Actually, it's probably just a conception of a curse since silver is by far the most popular color of car. Anyone ever study the percent of incidents relative to the total number by color? I'd think that it will probably average out even.

You live in Tyson's Corner. I do stand-up around there sometimes...a place called Wiseacres.

Nice. Silver = Win.

No kidding? I've always wanted to check out Wiseacres on their open mike nights, but I'm too chicken to try it. Let me know when you're there - maybe I can swing by. BTW, I'm a Hokie too!

There's no such thing as the "Silver Curse". There's this thing called "Stupid Driving" and I represent that remark to it's fullest.
