Color collections

Wow the Laguna comes with back up sensors, whoda thunk it.

Strange all those manufacturers have such similar reds in their color families. Heck, even Pontiac and Chevrolet have different reds, and they are both GM.

Great pics, the sorta stuff I like

Thank you very much.
It was striking to have four different cars of the same color right after each other.

What's a backup sensor?

... Oh, it must be those dark dots, I guess they sense if you're about to back into something.

Ultrasonic range finders.

You need an array like that to see pole and signposts behind as well as cars and kids.

They beep more insistently as you get closer to the obstruction.

More and more cars are getting them, and they are now paintable, not all black.

Heck, I once had my old Jetta painted (about 15 years ago), and found out that VW had 4 different shades of dark gray for that model/year!

The photos are nice. What's funny is how long it took me to realize they were all different car models... that image plays tricks on the mind (and yes, you guessed it, I have little interest in cars ;-)
