I don't blame you. My wife went through a number of collisions over about 20 years - never at fault - just driving along obeying the law - rear enders, front enders - backed into - you name it. We finally realized every car she had owned was either silver or light gray and concluded they are nearly invisible to other drivers and blend in too well with weathered asphalt and concrete. The last time she bought a black car and so far she has not had any one run over her for 7 years now. I love silver but I don't think I will be buying another one.
