There’s something joyful about a monochromatic car painted in an actual color. In today’s sea of greyscale, even a good shade of red for the bodywork stands out, but going with a bright hue and extending it to the wheels can be enough to make someone want to break into song.
Mercedes wrote a piece on the Oldsmobile Cutlass Rallye 350, sort of a small-block muscle car for those concerned about insurance costs. Every single example came from the factory absolutely drenched in Sebring Yellow, and I’m a sucker for yellow cars. While I’m not the biggest Coldplay fan on the planet, I’m always game for musical wordplay, and GreatFallsGreen absolutely crushed it:
Look at these cars
Look how they’re built for youths
And please insurers too
Yeah, they were all yellow
Fantastic stuff. On a similar note, earlier today, Jason wrote about the Countmobile from “Sesame Street”, serving up a prime opportunity for Timbales to share a classic internet joke:
Who is your favorite vampire?
The muppet from Sesame Street
He doesn’t count
Oh, I assure you he does
Last but not least, someone in Toronto is selling a normal Ford Fiesta with the unusual addition of a single coach door on the driver’s side. Now, coach doors have attracted some controversy in recent years due to the other name for them, but I reckon Ash78 toed that line quite well:
On an American hot hatch?
I thought that style of door was geared mostly towards youth in Asia.
Cheeky, cheeky. Take your gold star. Anyway, that’s all for me today, folks. Have a wonderful evening.

You need to know I owned a Rallye 350 in high school, and contrary to this article it did have a Muncie m22 rock crusher 4 speed. There was nothing like the whine of that tranny, especially when you let off the gas in 2nd gear or shifting into first before a stop sign with the clutch depressed. 2 Dr hardtop, bench seat Muncie 4 speed and Hurst t handled shifter. I wore this car out as it had almost 400thousand miles and had several engine replacements with each one becoming more powerful than the one it replaced. Loved this car and it was also a chic magnet.
Honored to be awarded! Never been a big Coldplay person either but something about them inspires a spotlight moment I guess, just like the kiss cam this past summer.
So I’ve had all day to reflect on yesterday’s comment of the day / Thomas’s article.
How and why did the UK figure out how to check for brain damage. Can we get a deep dive article on who first did the research, what their methodology was, and preferably written by Adrian so he can say wanker literally?
Yellow is a great color but the bigger the vehicle the more necessary adding other accent colors.
My favorite vampire, Lauren Hutton in Love at First Bite. I think. Great movie check it out.
Once Bitten! One of Jim Carrey’s first movies.
I’ve seen it several times never realized it was Jim Carrey
Heh now, Michael Madsen’s pale yellow Caddy seen in many Tarantinio films is damn near perfect.
Yes it is but it does have other colors
No, most of the blood was in the bile green Nova.
Also Sam Raimi’s Delta 98.
