Silver Camoflage against grey concrete road

Silver car owner here. It's true, sometimes we just blend in with the road. DRL's help but the tricks have all been outlined. Stay clear of blind spots, avoid being besides tractor/trailer rigs, and assume everyone is out to get you.

As an aside, back in the late 70's (yes I am old) I had a Fial X 1/9 (loved the car BTW) and we were traveling on the hwy between Edmonton and Calgary when a semi trailer beside us blew a tire. Although we didn't get hit with any flying tire tread, the concussion from the blast practically blew us off the road. It took all I had to keep us from heading for the ditch. My wife apparently screamed but I barely heard her since the tire erupted next to my ear and I lost my hearing for a short time. Incredible amount of kinetic energy when one of those suckers goes.
