    Default The titanium curse has dealt it's first blow.

    Well, I was backed into today. I was in clear view, and she just backed up into me. I'm headed up to the dealership tomorrow to get it looked at. I'm just so bummed it had to be MY car...I'll post pics later.

    That suck. Sorry to hear that. I haven't heard of the titanium curse but maybe it's because the color matches the color of the road.

    It's the sunlight silver curse on rx8club. My titanium grey has been run into twice at stop signs so I feel your pain.

    It's a MSM thing. Seems of all MSM's the Ti has the worst luck, although my black MSM hasnt had very good luck so far.

    Sounds like the 10AE curse. I think it's completely random and the colors are not a significant factor in if it has an accident. I mean if you want to talk about the most wrecked Miata color it would have to be red as there were more red Miatas made than any other color.

    Yeah, its along the lines of the 10AE curse, nothing really to it, but on the MSM board they seem to have the highest accident rate, despite an almost equal number of Velocity Red produced. Black and Orange were only produced for 1 year which wasnt even a full year due to the fire, so there are only roughly 400 of each compared to roughly 2400 VR and 2400 Ti. Hopefully the stealership can get it all fixed up.

    I found the driver, and claimed the accident on her insurance! I'm taking it into the shop today, and I'll have her back :3
