When did black, gray and sliver become the only choices? I drive a silver car, but prefer to call it 'platinum' just to be a d-bag.
I forget what I was looking at the other day, a Golf wagon maybe? on the online configurator, and there were about a dozen shades of grey ranging from black to white, all with fancy names of course but still grey, and one actual colour. Sad.
This photo gives me a great idea for a series of pseudo-porn novels that will appeal to middle-aged women. I'm sure it will be a hit.
Comment of the Month. Well played.

Your confused president pic leads me to believe you're confused. Alff's reference was to a popular novel from a few years back called "Fifty Shades of Grey". Since I only heard about it through discussions on National Public Radio, I assume it appealed to middle aged women, and was a bit racy. Just like Alff!

Aaah. Was digging entirely too deep.
Gracias.
Guilty on all counts. My wife and her friends found the series compelling. I asked her not to leave her porn where the children would find it.
I'd so park the Ranger in #20.
Edit: Probably a valet wanting to put the good side to the street. I don't think I'd hang out there…
I feel the pain.

Except this is the only person parked this way.
Welcome to Angleterre.
My high school had a gravel parking lot, but people usually parked so their cars were square to the building in the rows farther from the building.
Then my friends and I decided to ignore this convention. So you'd have a Parisienne angled 45 degrees from the general population, my Cougar angled the opposite way, maybe a car or two pointed east-west instead of north-south, etc.
We kept it up for a while, parking slightly more strange each day… The principal told us to cut it out after about a week.
I see a line of cars; I want to paint them black . . .
Like that black e90 m3
You can't tell me how to park! I'm an individual!!
Yeah! Me Too!
Yeah! Me Too!
Yeah! Me Too!
Yeah! Me Too!

It's the 5:00 office Le Mans standing start!
And Sterling Moss would still be the first out and under the Dunlop bridge.
Incredible, I almost took a photo of a similar row of cars here yesterday. Lets rest our eyes on some colour and character.

Cool colors, sweet cars. I think Volvo offers at least three shades of black – black stone, black sapphire metalic, and ember black metalic.
It's a crazy world, but if the marked demands it…I remember I had a design lecture around year 2000 where I put a Volvo brochure on the wall and asked everyone how many brown cars were sold. Back then, I was the only one who found it strange that the colour was unpopular. Right now, red is making a noticable comeback in traffic – I hope it's a trailblazer for more colour on the road.
Here is some last call randomness…YEEEHAAWWWW!

Didn't they have a story about this guy on the Hemmings Blog recently? Very cool!
I'd like to see that. I found this on some guys Tumblr page…

THANKS! Pretty cool story…
Remeber when car brochures at the dealer would show 20 paint chips for the exterior and nearly that many for the interior. You could get a red car with white, red, black, tan, or cream vinyl interior. Now you're lucky to have a choice of four exterior (three will be black, gray, and white) colors with the same gray interior. And what happened to vinyl? Did all the naugas die out? I had a 70 Monte Carlo – gold with metalic gold vinyl interior with a bench seat. The vinyl looked good for years – no cracking like leather and easy to clean. I only Armor-alled it once. Was so slippery I had to wear the lap belt to stay in front of the wheel.
That gold-gold-combo made me clap inside my brain.
Let's try to start a rumour that the Porsche 911 range now has more colours available for the brake callipers than for the bodywork…
At the very least, they offer more seatbelt colours than most cars offer paint choices.
