osodecanelaI went to the hardware store today. I had 2 screen doors to repair and paint to pick up.
On arrival, there were just 2 cars I think in the section of the lot I parked in. Thirty minutes later, hardware and paint in hand, I came out to a gaggle of white cars. That section of the lot, not far from the entrance by the way, had 19 cars in it, all white. WTF?
I drive a white Prius V. I started walking towards a white Toyota Highlander, then realized I was in the next row over. I would have shot a pic, but I’d left my phone in the car. By the time I got to my Prius, two cars had pulled in, one red, the other grey.
Integration.

Date: 2019-05-15 01:42 am (UTC)I’m generally not invested in the color of what I drive. It’s always been secondary to reliability and gas economy/ecological concerns. I’d wanted the Prius for a very long time, and live driving it. Once electric vehicles are a practical option for those of us who live in the boondocks, I’ll list after one of those.
We got the white Prius V based on what the dealership had on hand with the options we wanted. I’d wanted a plug in, but my hubby insisted on something that could haul stuff. This one actually thinks it’s an SUV, while getting 40 mpg. They had 3 that had the features we wanted. The other two were both dark- one black, the other dark navy. In this area, which sees triple digits for a few weeks each summer, white was the only reasonable choice. Given my druthers, I’d be driving something in a medium shade of green.
