Inconspicuous car. A good one?
What would you say is the most inconspicuous car. I seen a private investigator yesterday, driving this bright blue H2. I said to myself, not exactly the thing I'd want to use for covert surveillance work!
I say a dark gray or tan Camry would would be the best car to use for that kind of thing or to tail someone. Least likely to stand out. What say you??

My best friend's dad is a retired federal agent. He still does the odd background check and surveillance job from time to time. He works out of a 3/4 ton four door Chevy truck. They're a dime a dozen in rural MS.

Older Volvo 240 series wagon with a 5.0L and toploader 5 spd conversion. You can't get any inconspicuous than that, and you'll have plenty of scoot when you need it.

Invisible Car......
I once had a Pinto station wagon with the wood grain trim on the sides and back. I could drive it 10 or 15 miles per hour faster than any other car and the police completely ignored it. It was as close to invisible as anything on the road! Ran good too!

Seriously, there have been more Toyota Corollas made than any other car in the world... Pretty hard for them to not blend in...
