      We just leased a Hyundai, and got a bright green one, essentially because that's what they had on the forecourt. It's funny, everybody's much more emotionally connected to it than with the other cars, as it has character. Mrs. Phibes calls it The Green Bean.

      It's also much easier to find in a parking lot. I think I may get the bright colours going forward.

      I was only joking

              It’s very nice as a runaround, but a bit underpowered

                That's the Kona, right? D3 has one.

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  Venue. It's a bit smaller than the Kona.

                  We were looking for affordable above all else, but it's actually pretty decent.

                    I like the color too. Lots of Hot Wheels cars had that color. Some Matchboxes too.

                      Dang, so it’s not an isolated incident. I recently received an email from a local car dealer boasting that they have just received new inventory and invite email recipients to check out their new inventory online. So I did, and see that the entire new inventory are variants of black, gray, and white.

                        Maybe if there were more gay car designers they wouldn't be so freaking drab.

                          White is a very popular color down here. Goes well with heavily tinted windows.

                            But white also shows dirt easily and difficult to keep clean looking.

                              My first two cars were bright red. The first one was rolled into a hedge and completely destroyed. The second one caught fire in the middle of town.

                              I'm not sure whether this was connected to the colour.
