If this matter concerns anyone. And anyone is really concerned.
Let’s talk for a moment about the color…silver.
It’s a lovely color. Shiny. Bright. Doesn’t show dirt too badly. Exceptionally popular.
Now…let’s talk about cars.
SUV’s, to be exact.
Yes…
Big. Gas guzzling family mobiles. Extremely popular as well…especially for really short woman who adore driving the BIGGEST SUV’s known to the car market.
Now…
Let’s discuss…
Silver SUVs.
WAAAAAY too many.
Perhaps there should be some sort of limit as to how many silver cars…especially SUVs, are manufactured each year.
And this…is coming from a silver SUV owner.
This is an area of extreme concern.
We need to look out for all of those preoccupied people.
Who come out of the grocery store with a cart full of groceries.
Who are in a hurry to get these groceries home.
To be able to get the frozen things put away so they don’t thaw out.
And in a huge hurry so SHE won’t be late to pick up her child from preschool.
Who comes out into the sunlight with only a vague recollection of where her car has hidden…er…she parked.
And this poor woman…only a victim of an overabundance of silver cars… wanders the parking lot…which happens to be FULL of silver SUV’s…in search of her own SUV…which is silver.
She wanders.
For ten long and exhausting minutes.
With a cart full of groceries.
In EXTREMELY high heels.
Up.
and down.
Each.
Freaking.
Lane.
Then…
finally finds her car.
Quickly loads her car with the goods…in order to quickly go home…in order to quickly unload her car…in order to quickly get to preschool…
to collect her child.
Yeah…
It’s on behalf of those people that this letter is written.
And I’m also concerned about the other poor, neglected colors that the car companies offer.
How about throwing some red cars into the mix.
And blue? Or green?
And let’s just go crazy for a minute…
Burnt orange.
Or…
Florescent pink.
Think about it.
Please.
Thank you in advance for your consideration into this increasingly large matter.
Sincerely,
That woman who wandered aimlessly with a cart full of groceries…for ten freaking minutes…up and down lanes upon lanes of silver SUV’s
p.s…and please make sure that the batteries in the keychain doodad…never…EVER…go dead. Because THAT causes another whole set of problems.
I remember back in the day when the SUV was bought just so you could find your car in the lot cause there were so little on the road. Maybe paint the top with a fluorescent stripe? I have a blue car so I do not share this trouble of color. Just trying to find my car hidden amongst the giant SUV’s and mini-vans.
I vote for orange with black spots.
Yeah, that’s my vote.
Go OSU Beavers!
LOL
That sucks. I drive a white Ford Escort (why did I just want to write white #Ford Escort) car and so sometimes I have trouble finding my car, too.
Your silver SUV is the Dark Blue Dodge Minivan in my city. Yep, every parking lot has tons of them. Ours does not have a clicker anymore so I can not even click it to find it. Oh and since Hubby drives the van mostly, on the off chance I get it I spend precious time looking for the car first then remember it is the van and start looking all over again.
So sorry you lost your car. Maybe put one of those hideous SUV “tramp stamps” on the rear window so when you see the Hawaiian Lei (and you are no where near Hawaii) you know that car is yours?
What, you don’t have beep beep keys? WTF? Nice big gas guzzling silve SUVs don’t come with beep beep keys?
I say…buy one of those fuzzy deals that you put on your antenna that sticks way, way up in the air…..voila!!! You can find your car anywhere in the lot!!!!
I wondered about why you didn’t have the beep-beep keys too…but then you mentioned no batteries for it, so that must be why you couldn’t find it that way?
Coming from a mom with a white SUV (the second most annoying color), having a remote lock that beeps, loudly, is a godsend, or I would never find it in a large parking lot.
I just set off my alarm, find my car, then look around for the idiot who set off her alarm (just as I turn it off and head to my car, as if I knew exactly where I was going).
You’re too funny… don’t have a silver SUV (mind you, one of my good friends does)… but I’ve got the omnipresent Bland Tan mini-Van … and that would be me going up and down the lot, seriously! That key is a lifesaver… but I guess I should stock extra batteries :).
I have an old black Jeep. Pretty common. I decorated the back with about 10 bumper stickers. I can find it every time. It’s also usually the dirtiest car in the lot. None of those battery operated key things for us, this is a 1995 model.
I tried the little fun antenna toppers but people kept stealing them.
