Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Fun fact, this is part of the reason so many cars are silver, white, or black now. A lot of base models of cars are only available in those three colors, along with maybe red. To get a different color, you have to get an upgraded package... and there's your $1k price jump.

I'd be happy to spend $1k more for better colors, but many new cars don't even come in any interesting colors regardless of the price.

This is also true.

My wife and I have accidentally ended up with a purple car and a green truck, both stick out in a sea of silver bubbles.

I just thought a couple of days ago that how awesome it would be if we have a LOT of colorful cars. Not just the same 4-5 always. Parking lots are fucking boring these days.
