Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
It's not unpopular to say that there's too many gray and silver cars. People have been saying that a lot the last few years. I just don't run into a lot of people that prefer green. I don't have a Ford Bronco but that green color is the the best color on the market today in my opinion.
I think I read something like 75% of all cars now are black, grey, silver, or white. About 10% blue, 5% red, and 5% of everything else.
I hate the lack of colour on the roads, it's like a funeral procession every time I go out.
Give me the fun colours!
My first car was a bright green Peugeot 106 (the one pictured I got from google), and I bought it because it was the first decent car I'd seen that was a fun colour!
My third car - a Nissan Bluebird from 1987 - was a little lighter than the one pictured, but still, it's easy to find nice colours on old cars!
The cool thing is that when you're driving a car that's not one of those colors, it's super easy to remember where you parked.
Shout out to when Volkswagen did the Golf with every panel painted a different bright colour https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/VWGolfHarlequin_%28cropped%29.JPG/800px-VWGolfHarlequin_%28cropped%29.JPG
The harlequin wasn’t just every panel painted a different color!
It was a combination of cars. They’d take them off the line and swap panels.
I’d love to find a harlequin for sale
I've never seen a nissan bluebird before. That looks so good, I need it
I had one of the last ones made. A 2 litre petrol, 5-speed manual T72 from 1990. It was gorgeous to drive. Sadly the leather seats suffered from no bolstering which meant you'd slide around a bit if you were cornering quickly, but such were leather seats in the 80s/90s!
I used to have a Focus ZX-5 in screaming yellow Zonkers. I have never before or since been hassled by the cops so often in my life.
Not mine, but just like it.
The Subaru I drive now is bedlinered. So is my truck. The Scoob is thankfully apparently invisible to cops. I have two green motorcycles, though.
My green Outback was also invisible to cops. No one suspects the station wagon!
