“What is the deal with all the greyscale paint jobs? Some people around here are even painting their houses like that.”

Many people are essentially sheep who wanna copy other sheep.

Sheep who want to blend into the blandness because they think it’s safer than to stand out in a crowd by being colorful, as though choosing a particular hue of color would risk making some sort of personal statement to the world about themselves and what they stand for. So meaningful! It’s so prevalent that it has to be more than mere coincidence. They can’t have a favorite color because it’s not fair to all the other colors! /s.

It’s hard to imagine that primer grey could be anyone’s favorite. Frankly, I don’t give a damn. If my car is red, maybe it’s only because my previous cars were blue, or green or yellow, and that I just don’t care for the monotony and boredom of always playing it safe.

Variety is the spice of life. Salt & pepper...Always with the salt & pepper. I say get a life and free yourself from the monotony. However, black, white and silver looks pretty damned good on a ‘62 Corvette!

If I recall correctly, Steve McQueen liked to drive gray cars.

Not as noticable as the generally flashier sports cars.
