Someone in my town owns and drives around in a beige Ferrari. I am not sure why anyone would make a high end sports car in such a bland color.
The bathroom in my house used to be Pepto Bismol pink. You can see some bits of it where they didn’t do a good job painting around the medicine cabinet. The current color is a barely tolerable Band-Aid pink.
The thing that really boggles my mind is imagining the former owners standing in that glaring Pepto hell and saying, “Perhaps just a different* shade*.”
Even more alarming is that they are $4.79 a pound.
And cars (IMHO, YMMV).
No, I agree. I’ve got a bunch of 'em, but I agree.
My e30 X-drive is white, and I only tolerate it because I drive it in the snow. That, and how often do you see e30 X-drives on the market?
Here in Sacramento, where summer temperatures get up to 115 degrees, white is the dominant color.
Grey is worse. Whoever decided “just the same colour as the road” was a great colour for a box moving at 60kph? Everyone who’s selling a second-hand-car in my neighborhood, that’s who :smack:
Red blackberries are white when they’re green.
Like this? I think it looks rather classy.
My only problem with white cars is that they’re hard to keep clean. Or I should say, hard to keep looking clean.
Them ugly monkeys that have the red ass. ( I ain’t looking it up )
Monkeys with red ass? How about monkeys with blue balls?
Yep, nature’s a troll.
Yellow is my favorite urinal cake flavor.
I dunno - it’s OK if the bike is really expensive. Like, a white BMW is fine, inasmuch as a German motorcycle can be fine.
I go by the old international racing colors. White is permissible on Japanese cars (with a red circle on the hood), American cars (with blue stripes), and German cars before 1934.
Pretty sure white has been the dominant car color (in America at least) for some time.
White chocolate. 'Nuf said.
Those baby-poop yellowish civilian Humvees. Didn’t anybody picking this color ever change the diaper of a nursing baby?
Not around here. Every possible shade of ‘pearlized’ grey. When we went car shopping, the available colors on the lot were blue-grey, green-gray, silver-grey, and just grey. Brown-grey was also available at the next lot.
These are appropriate car colors. White is for washers, dryers and refrigerators.
This is the EXACT thing I strolled in to post. White cars look like mobile kitchen appliances to me.
Of course, if I got a great deal on an M-Series or other wonderful car that was white I wouldn’t hesitate to take it! I’ve had several white cars in the past when it was more about what I could afford, not my exact likes.
I think my black cars show a lot more dirt than do white cars (not scientifically proven, but I do need to take the car kids in for a wash a few times a month to keep them purty – I don’t recall having to do this with my white vehicles). My dream car color is deep, rich burgundy; I recently sold my deep burgundy Cherokee. Unfortunately, BMW doesn’t seem to make many burgundy cars in the Series I can afford.
Okay, back on thread track: non-yellow pencils bug me. It just ain’t right . . .
