2 comments. 1. an old cheap red car can become whatever color you like fairly inexpensively. Maybe not perfectly, but certainly cheaply.
2. It sounds to me like red cars have saved your hide a number of times. Maybe you should always drive red cars. My son's sax teacher was in 2 serious accidents while driving Ford SUV's - first a Bronco and then an Explorer. He refused to have another and bought a Nissan Pathfinder. I suggested to him that he should be thankful that the Ford's saved him twice. He had not thought of it in that manner.

The 72 Audi was first sideswiped and landed in a ditch, which crumpled the under bits of the trunk. I had it repaired, and while driving it two weeks out of the shop, a truck nicked it on the tail (police move to spin the car) and then the L beam on the back caught the trunk and ripped it off just above the fuel door. I had just filled the tank. Red 79 rabbit was pinned to a parking post when a pickup lost its parking brake and rolled down the ramp in the garage. 89 Toyota PU was accordianed by a dame in her furd exploder because she was in a hurry to get to her BF and on the phone. I was stopped at a red light, with five other cars ahead of me. Think she hit at 35mph, since the bed buckled up 9 inches. No red cars for me clay On Jan 24, 2010, at 4:03 PM, Greg Fiorentino wrote: > I knew about getting stopped for speeding in red cars, (don't ask me > how I > know!), but have never before heard of the proclivity of red cars to > get > totaled or kill people. > > Greg > > -----Original Message----- > From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com > ] > On Behalf Of Redghost > Sent: Sunday, January 24, 2010 3:56 PM > To: Mercedes Discussion List > Subject: Re: [MBZ] '76 300D in Michigan > > But it is RED.
