You would have to have separate methods that return the expressions used 
for filtering:

def blue_color_conditions
  {:color=>'blue'}
end
def cars_with_blue_color
  where(blue_color_conditions)
end
def top_cars_to_sell
  where(Sequel[blue_color_conditions] | 
alloy_wheel_conditions).exclude(need_service_conditions)
end

The subset_conditions plugin tries to handle this automatically for you, 
but if you have cases where you could not use subset_conditions, you would 
need to emulate what is does by separating the expressions used for 
filtering from the filtering operation itself.

Thanks,
