My previous car was "titanium" which was a fancy way to say silvery-beige. Here it was, waiting to be towed away after being totaled by the insurance company. From this angle you can't tell, but the right front quarter was bashed in pretty good from hitting at deer at high speed.
That car was like a spaceship with its 650 mile range. I'd had it just under 16 years.
Needing a replacement, I shopped online for a week and settled for something in black:

You have a fun car, maybe the implication is that you are a fun person.It’s white with black top and trim. People always tell me that my car looks like meI don’t know what that means.

When I get teased about my car and I both being in our 7th decade
I just say: "Life is much too short to drive a boring car."

I don’t like the car, Jim. There is always something wrong with it and it costs an arm and a leg to fix. I’d never get another Mini. My former cars have all been Volkswagens. I wish I had stayed with them.

Red Subaru, just bought it last year. But I'm no extrovert!

Yeah, but so far I've done fairly well keeping it clean.
But I'm giving some thought to buying again before things get ugly (even higher prices and an electronic "political officer" built in).
This is called "sand dune pearl."

It also comes in a shocking electric blue, but that's not my thing.

Our previous car was a BMW, having reached eight years old it was producing some eye watering repair bills. Time for it to go. A series three Golf, a new one, found a home in our garage, all those years ago. That Golf is still our runaround everyday car. It has proved reliable and inexpensive. It just shows what sharing a heated garage with a classic MG can do. The only fault with the Golf is it's boring. But when you have a fun MG, who cares?
Did you know that The Golf has nothing to do with the sport of golf? It's named after the German word “Golfstrom”, with means Gulf Stream.

My car is white. We could have bought an exact same mode that was black, but didn't want it because even though black looks better, white reflects heat, where as black absorbs it. And now that I live on the western edge of the Mojave Desert, I am so glad we made that decision. A cool summer day is about 95°. The hottest one since I moved here was 118°. I flatly refuse to go outside it's over 100°.

I understand. My neighbor bought a 2021 Mini Club Sportsman wagon as a new car, and got rid of it in under a year. JIM.

You wouldn't happen to have a copy of that beautiful photo in 1920x1080? That car exudes Class and Elegance. I would love to add that photo to my photo collection...
