Without revealing the color of my car, I will tell you the assessment was spot on . . . for both of my cars, which were purchased at different points in my life. This was a fun read, glad I came across this hub. Voted up and interesting.

This is a fun Hub! Thumbs up!
Victoria from Monroe, NC on September 05, 2013:
Whenever I give friends directions to my house I just tell them to look for all the dark blue cars since that's the first thing anyone notices about the place. I didn't get to pick my car and probably would've picked a light blue, but dark is my second choice.
iguidenetwork from Austin, TX on May 23, 2013:
Interesting hub you've got. We've owned a silver car for the past four years. I am not sure of the luxury thing (I do hope I can attain that someday) but yes I am generally a competent and calm driver. Thanks for posting! :)

Interesting hub! I drive a white car and some of the descriptions apply to me. I have always driven white cars because my dad told me that the color stays better than other car colors.

Ah, there you are Joyce! Interesting concept! I drive a blue-grey car, but if I could choose a color (money being no object), I believe I would drive a periwinkle irridescent shade. Weird huh? Painted my house the shades I wished, bright green, lavender, melon, gray floor... colors really do resonate differently to different people, don't they. Great Hub... be well, be happy... lily
