Saw something unusual on the way to get a b-day cake

I was changing from north bound I5 to west bound I54 in San Diego a few hours ago and as I merged I noticed the cars in front and back of me were white (so is mine) then two cars went zooming by on the left and they were white and as went started up a slight grade I looked and ALL the cars in front were white! Looked behind and one was red but all those I could see were white! I doubt this happens often, except maybe on the X Files?

They were all extraterrestrial aliens trying to blend in with white being the most popular color.

All of my cars are white. I have pulled up at red light going west and watched as every car stopped from the north-south direction was a white car. Then I noticed all the cars in the turn lanes were white as well. It all directions people with excellent taste as sophistication all driving white vehicles. Of course mine was the coolest and most unique vehicle.

Took my triple black 2004 Mustang GT to the car wash today, and noticed that the 5 cars in front of me were all black as well. As I was about to enter, I noticed that the 3 cars behind me were all black with one lone white car.......I guess we balenced each other out today.

In a coincidental quirk, my wife's birthday is on Sunday....but no cake yet.

I believe more vehicles are painted green than any other color.

White shows dirt less.
I read that white cars have higher resale value.

Well, compensating....
