Diversity - do we have it?

Me:

We own three cars. We have a 4 cylinder, a 5 cylinder and a 6 cylinder. We have a front wheel drive, a rear wheel drive and an all wheel drive. We have a manual transmission, an automatic and a dual-clutch manu-matic. We have leather, vinyl and cloth. We have gas and we have diesel.

Her:

We own three cars. They are all blue.

She has a point.

This sounds racist......what do you have against cars of different colors?

Rustoleum.....problem solved. Let her pick the color.

About 10 years ago now, I had my GVR4 and a 1G Eclipse GSX. SWMBO had a '99 Galant. Our roommate had a 3G Eclipse GT. At that time we were an exclusively 4-Mitsubishi household. It was a total coincidence as we each had the cars before we met.

Funny!

True story: I used to own one of every color of 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe...

...at the same time.

Diverse?

We have 4 vehicles: A rotary, V8 diesel, conventional 4 cylinder and a hybrid. Manual transmission, automatic transmission and CVT. 4 wheel drive, front wheel drive and rear wheel drive.

Cloth, cloth, cloth and no interior at all.

Hm.... lets see- All the cars I own are gas. All of them are 4cyl. 3 of them are FI- 2 TC and one SC. One is an automatic, the rest are manuals, 2 6sp and 1 5sp. I have one two door hatch, one two door coupe, one 4 door hatch, and one sedan. 3 are Japanese (well, if you count the Prism as a Toyota) and one is British by way of Germany. They are all FWD. Two are black, one is blue, one is brown.

And then there's the 77 T-bar Volare with the slushbox and the 318.

I forgot that the MR2 adds RWD to the other's FWD. And mid-engine to the other's front engine. Yet I believe all are 4 cylinder.

Although that was Japan/US/US/US. Okay, maybe "Canada" in there.

Last year with the Grand Prix, Javelin, Mazda5, and Porsche was a little better (US, Japan, Germany).

That made me laugh. That was my mother. My father could buy any car he wanted (she didn't drive) as long as it was blue.

That resulted in things like my brother and I (15 and 18 at the time) being jammed in the back of a 65 Mustang and other silly stuff.

We own 3 vehicles. They are all 4 cylinder(2 inline and 1 boxer). They all has 4 doors. One 5 speed, one 4speed auto, and one shiftable CVT.

But they are all RED!
