I will say, I do like the flat "naturalistic" colors on trucks, suvs and off-road types.

Yes, that and grey. Looks like “we ran out of color paint; just clear coat over the primer.” Exactly.

Yes, that and grey. Looks like “we ran out of color paint; just clear coat over the primer.” In our panel shop we call that colour 'Shiney Primer' There was, imo, a decent similar colour on the SR Turbo Veloster, Battleship Grey. Maybe because of the style of the car, looked pretty cool. Because i'm old and boring now, i drive an all mod cons blue i30, i call it Nana blue. Far cry from all of my old lusty V8's, but she's comfy, and never breaks down Oh, and btw, our shop (200 on site and 400 odd in two crash warehouses) is full of boring white, dark greyand every greyscale colour in between cars. Bright colours are few and far between. It's been that way for a long time now. Mazda probably the nicest colours, reds and greens, for your mainstream cars.

I saw this today next to me at stop light: it was fugly green. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivian_R1TI also don't understand the popularity of pickups that are too short for a couch. Why buy a pickup if it can't do what it's designed to do: carry stuff. The price is $73,000+. I will never buy EV!

Because a lot of people are not practical-minded when it comes to buying a vehicle. For me, my car is strictly an appliance that gets me from point A to point B.

Oh Panzer. We look at cars so differently.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.
