Rainy Day Cars….

You know, normally I love the color grey or silver on a car.  Looks pretty nice and professional, doesn’t it?  A bit of class?  A lot of times when I think about what color I’d want if I bought a new car, the silver/grey spectrum has been up there in my thoughts.  Well, in the sun that is.

That nice classy look all but disappears in rainy weather.  Or even overcast weather.  Then that classy silver/grey look simply blends into the sky and road.  So hard to see even with good eyes!  Especially when the roads and cars are equally wet and shiny! 

It was like that today.  Driving down the road feeling like these little cars were darting out in front of me almost out of nowhere.   Practically morphing right out of the roads thsemselves.  And that’s when I think twice about silver or grey.  I don’t want to be hit by someone in another car accident ever again in my life.  The last one was enough for several lifetimes. 

When I think about it, there is only one color that really seems to stand out in sunny and rainy weather alike.  And that’s red.  It can be easily seen not matter how bad the light.  It’s a shame red’s associated with wrecks and driving too fast.  I really can’t help but wonder if red has gotten an unfair reputation.  Because after studying the cars on the highway today, I really think I’d rather be driving something like red.
