The Real reason I drive a green car:
1) It's the only color the dealer had in stock that was equipped as I wanted (4 doors and a stick shift), and
2) I asked my cute upstairs flatmate Alexis if I should buy the green car they had, or factory-order the gray car I really wanted and have to wait several weeks and pay more. I showed her the brochure with the seven color choices; she jumped up and down and got all excited about the green - "Pick green! It's way the coolest!". So I of course bought the green one, and instead of my car always reminding me of how I keep settling for second best, instead it will forever remind me of a cute girl.
There's a great parenting lesson in here somewhere....
