Hey, the green is an attractive color - there's just a lot of them.

Quite honestly, I love my red '93, but I'm not a big fan of red.  I'd have
been happier with any other color, including green.

Of course, you couldn't pry the car away from me now - it's grown on me
like a fungus.

I'd still take a green car.
