Well the 8 looks OK UPSIDEDOWN TOO!. You have to have the boat outta
the water to rename it, then it's ok. I'm not supersticious either, but
do not tempt the witches. He he I know they get even.

The reason such a number is supposed to be bad luck is that if it looks
ok upsidedown then you may end up that way because the "gods" dont know
which way to put your car back on the track....#8-)
