rx8s are cursed in my area lol.
Actually, I forgot to ask. Were those cars painted silver? According to RX8Club.com myths, there was a curse placed on silver painted RX-8's. These cars are problem prone from accidents to engine issues. In fact, the only car to be accidentally ran over by an M1 Abrams Tank during testing in history was a Silver RX-8 (http://gearheads.livejournal.com/740624.html). Another interesting statistics states that silver RX-8's are more prone to accidents and engine failures. As for the accident part, Mazda's Sunlight Silver is harder to see at dawn and dusk than any other color as it blends in more so there is a higher chance of it not being seen as early. I can't really back up the engine failure part but meh

Google Curse of the Silver RX-8 and you'll be surprised, lol.

So... were their cars silver?
