Such silly things really happen, but less fortunately. About ten years ago a guy dented my parked car (barely touching it really), and didn't know how to find me. Instead of putting a note under the wiper, he... called the police on himself. This was the first mistake (ticket). The police did the second, which was filing a damage report, and so triggering insurance. Long story short, it ended with his insurance paying almost 9k €, to repair an almost invisible dent (sic). His insurance surely got up in price as a result. If I saw this minimal dent before he called the police, I would have said no harm done, I hardly even see it.
Wow... did not expect thatIt's called a "carrying angle", or "cubitus valgus". Men have less, typically about 5-10deg. Women have a higher carrying angle, about 10-15deg. The carrying angle helps the arms clear the hips when a person sways arms whilst walking.
My 17 year old Volvo is "champagne"... so yeah... you have to go back to get a little fun. Though. Mazda and several French cars, still do have nice colors.#47,602
What is it with the fad of 'Prototype Grey" in the last decade, its so depressing, an absence of imagination, a cluster f*** of conformity?
A mass anti 'Pride' reaction ?
A fear of loss of value?

I always thought you guys make a sugary milk drink with half a dozen artificial flavour "shots" and then finally pour a smol espresso into it, at least that's what your chains do. HahaNo grey in this house!
Actually, though... the trim in our dining room is a colo(u)r called Nantucket Grey... but it sure as heck looks green-ish to me. More green-ish than grey-ish.

This is like coffee.
Many Amurricans (this one included) brew it strong and black, then add milk and sugar to dilute it and make it more vapid in taste and character.
