The color of the car on the left isn't too bad but the Jeep's color looks like.
I might have to try Trader Sam's after I go to Knott's because I keep hearing about it and I can't really take B to a bar when he's with me (he doesn't drink and would be begging to leave. I am also going to WDW for a bit by myself in January and am planning on Oga's for the same reason, lol). We did Carthay Circle restaurant last time and weren't big on it. The menu wasn't really our thing, and the service was SLOW. I might go into the lounge, but I kind of also want to go to the PIM lounge thingy at Avenger's Campus.
Two 1/2 years ago, I got a (3-year) lease on new car (nothing fancy or more expensive like the ones above). The only colors available were silver or white. Dealer told me that any other color would be some sort of special order, and would take quite a while. Hence, the car company was only pushing out the more neutral colors, as they knew they could (not only get them in) but push those quicker off the lots. (This was also back when covid was more prevalent, so receipt of any cars, and any parts, was also delayed.) Hence, maybe the more subdued colors sort of "trended" after that. As for the jeep above, that is a puke color!Just got back from a TSSFFBR.
What’s with the recent (last couple of years…?) trend of folks buyin’ expensive new cars/vehicles in colors that look like gray water or even untreated sewage…?!?!?!
I wouldn’t even buy an “inexpensive” car in those sick colors (unless maybe it was deeply discounted…?
If I’m layin’ down the jackfor a new Porsche, I’m gettin’ it in whatever color they have as close to Candy Apple Red as possible…!!!!!
Seems to be a nationwide trend too, that I just don’t understand at all…….

I'm fine with silver, too. (Prefer to "blend in" with traffic and not have a brighter color. Also, I'm a lousey driver.
) I can understand that folks who buy pricey sports cars or other unique styles, would select specific colors.
Oh yeah, well I paid a humongous $28K for my 2019 Tornado Red VW Jetta R-line and I wash it when it needs it, which is only when some soon to be extinct bird (if I see it) decides to use it as a target for unwelcome droppings. It has stayed the most vibrant, shiny color for the past 5 years. I don't know what has kept it that way, since it is outside in the very hot NC sun for almost all of those years. I get comments on it all the time and remarks about how much I must have to do to keep it looking that way. I thank them for the compliment and yup it sure is a chore. I've had people that park in the same parking lot tell me how they are afraid to park next to it for fear of accidentally hitting it with their car doors. I cannot honestly tell you why that particular car has stayed looking like new and only needs a bit of rain to wash all the dust off it and shine brightly. I has never had any special treatment and is just as it came from the factory.
Nice, usually the hot sun overtime fades the exterior from other cars in my area that owners just don't care about washing / waxing their vehicles. One unique thing I saw was when a car owner at the Walgreens parking lot in Sarasota was feather dusting her pristine 30 year old Jaguar convertible. She took so much pride removing the dust even admiring each side of her car. That Jag owner really kept her ride in great condition. The state where the car culture is religion to some was in Southern California when I spent many a time there.

It's a trend started by Telsas if I remember correctly.Just got back from a TSSFFBR.

The colors of cars now range all over the place to downright wild. Some execs tend to drive vehicles to work with understated colors .Some of these execs leave the Ferraris and McLarens in their garages for a weekend drive. There was a CEO that we knew whose company was struggling but he was still well compensated with annual salary / bonuses. He wanted to be below the radar and when he bought a new Audi that he drove to work. He purposely bought the new model with the same exact exterior color and wheel package. He did not want to attract unneeded attention in his reserved parking spot at work in that he bought another fancy car.
Approx 25 years ago I worked with a peer who bought a brand new PT Cruiser. She loved her new purchase and she even bought screwable eyelashes that were installed above both headlights. It fit her personality to a tee.
Keep up the great work. That's how I changed my life after getting scared straight with bloodwork numbers and a number of peers and friends with heart issues and some dying young of heart attacks. Portion control, limit sat fats , cut out fast food , drink lots of water , green tea , daily exercise is the way to go. It is a grind but a grind that I am willing to go through. Some family and friends go the weight loss route with some dangerous fad diets and or expensive weight loss drugs. You should be able to feel a difference in your energy level . Obesity is an epidemic in our country and that's not the road I wanted to continue to go on. Food is your medicine so later in life medicine will not be your food
The CEO's Audi exterior color he daily drove to work is dark grey. Hardly an eye catching color.So, drive a “Baby Poop Green” Porsche Panamera during the week to the office (as if nobody with half a brain will even know it’s a Porsche Panamera, because of that color…?!?!?!), to “lay low”, and then drive the others your talking about on the weekends only…?!?!?!
I’ve seen plenty of these cars (pictured below at a local restaurant we attend during the week) during my weekday commute, as well…who does that guy think he’s fooling…???!!!!!
A McLaren and 2 Lambo rides…
