What Color is Your Car?

Remind me to stop clicking on those dumb pretend news links on the AOL Welcome screen -- such a complete waste of time. Meanwhile, since I did decide to click on one, there was a study done in England about the car colors that get into the most accidents, supposedly because they are a reflection of the personalities of the people who drive them.  Needless to say there was a disclaimer -- they don't know whether the statistics apply to Americans or not, but it must have been a slow news day because AOL posted it for its USA readers. 

The car colors are listed in order of most likely to have an accident.  I drive a black Jeep. I'll cop to outsider and rebel. But I'm a pussycat behind the wheel. Nothing bothers me. I don't even have to use my horn. I also drive slower than the speed limit in the right lane. Yeah, go figure. The only accident I ever had was years ago in a red rental car when some woman at a stop sign lost her mind and decided to pull out right in front of me. Even then I managed to turn my car parallel to hers instead of her car hitting me broadside or vice versa. So na na na na na.
