“green car”

How is the color of the car relevant? Seems prejudicial.

There aren’t a lot of green cars on the road. Last summer my work car died and we had to go get a new one. We went to the local Chevy dealership and looked at the Equinox of which they had a large supply. My wife saw a green one and loved it, her being red headed Irish and all. I nixed it because it looked like a velour pin cushion and we settled on a subdued metallic silverish shade. Back in 1970 I bought a brand new BMW 2002 while on active duty. It was in British Racing Green with a tan interior. A little over a year later when I left active duty and returned to PA from San Diego, I had a cousin who was a paint and body man change the color to Cadillac’s Ice Blue Firemist, a magic shape shifter that would take on the hue of the atmosphere at the moment from pure silver on a cloudy summer day to glacier blue when the sun was high in a cloudless sky to stunning turquoise when driving south on the I-5 from LA to SDiego when the ocean was that color in the late afternoon. So green being pretty rare, maybe some of those Philly tailgaters remembered that older green Honda.
