That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

Well, almost as bad as the hillbilly flames you see on cars, the ones that looked like they grazed the guardrail for about a mile and a half.

Think what it looks like doing 80 on a highway. Frikkin stooopid if you ask me.

So 71% of new cars in North America have no color. And I've noticed that of the cars that do have color, most are pretty muted.

Mine is Khaki. I feel so ....... special

It's probably got one of those things, whatever they are, that makes their car sound like a 1980s moped, or an old lawnmower. 'Cause, you know, it's sooooooo cool to be loud.

I just attach playing card to the spokes with a clothespin.

"those things" is a hole intentionally drilled into the muffler. Frikkin stooopid.

We have a silver, a blue, a gray, a red, and a yellow - in that order.

glatt · 01-04-2012, 10:55 AM

We have a green and before that another green. Our green car is the only one I ever see around town. They don't sell cars this vibrant any more. And I don't even think it's that vibrant. But It does kind of blend in with the grass, so I have to be cautious of other cars when I'm driving through fields.

Mine is 'Mello Yello.'

Peace out!

Just one...

more.

(oh, and my car's formal name is Daisy Head Maisie. Daisy Mae or just Daisy for short. I had a Pathfinder named Chautauqua. My CRX was named Chiquita (bright yellow) and I didn't name the Olds...except for POS.)

Lamplighter · 01-04-2012, 11:04 AM

I imagine the Pathfinder caused a great deal of sufferage.

HungLikeJesus · 01-04-2012, 11:08 AM

Maybe it should have been called Chappaquiddick.

infinite monkey · 01-04-2012, 11:14 AM

Heh.

No, it was a sign I saw driving to Maine for my honeymoon, in my gently used Pathfinder. Maybe in NY state.

There is some thought that a bright colour will reduce the resale value - what if nobody wants a lime green mazda? I'll ust get the silver/grey one.

I have ranted elsewhere about how hard it is to see grey or silver cars, especially in poor lighting. I like white for the reflectance, but bright red, yellow, or green would also pass. One at a time, though.
