And they're in more accidents than any other colour of car.

Probably because there's more of them on the road

Indeed
It's Silver and Black ones (I think) that are most dangerous I think because they're the easiest to not notice.

White cars will look very unclean when only slightly dirty.

Cavaliers were good cars
But I assume you're talking about the Chevy Cavalier, which was a completely different car from the Vauxhall Cavaliers we had here?

Don't forget the Geordie Cavaliers.

They go really fast for a couple of minutes
before coming to spluttering, disappointing halt.

Maybe it's a good job I didn't return to Al's camp at download...

Because they go faster

Don't talk to me about fast.
I got a speeding ticket yesterday.

Motherfucking mobile units.
And it's my first.

I got my ticket
in my previous red car. I think it's perfectly possible that red cars make you drive like a prick.

Tip for not driving fast:
Buy your first car, meaning you have to pay for all fuel, and have a fuel gauge that shows your average MPG. Sure stopped me driving fast.

Trouble is I don't pay for my fuel.
Plus I rush at everything. Before I drove I was a speeding pedestrian.


Can I also add that I don't speed in built up areas, luckily, as one small child rushed out of his house straight onto the road and hit my car. Luckily I was driving very slowly.

Shame
You'd have got ten points for that.
( Kroney, Thu 24 Jun 2010, 14:23, Reply)

BMWs have a little gauge
which shows instantaneous fuel consumption.

Not exactly a cheap first car though. :-(

this.
I have a red 1995 ford festiva and it is fucking ACE. I love it.

My red one
was a pile of shite.

But at least it was relatively easy to keep it looking half respectable, unlike my current black one, which seems to get dirty as soon as I've gone inside to put away the chamois.
