Great collection of memes, though my favorite is "Did we run out of colors?". Drives me crazy; on an auto forum I follow, how excited people get over a new shade of... gray.
I will simply note in passing that I am seeing some very colourful cars lately. I speak of the lime green ones. So odd.
Apparently (in the UK at least) the overwhelming desire for monochrome cars is because the tend to have higher resale values.

I have had that thought about vehicles many times recently. Such boring colors. Is that gorgeous sunset for real? Dang. Lately the sunsets here have been so bland. That bridge in Vietnam ~ wow! 🤩
Bwahahahahahaha. I love your sense of humor. My favorite was the guy and the horse. I spewed my coffee.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ♥
O that’s just great now the Reflecting Pool got Monkeys in it.
Rade/Anvil: Just had to go out this morning and I paid attention to cars. There are a few with real colors, mostly red or dark blue, but there are very few of those. Probably 95% of cars are dull indefinite shades of grey or occasionally brown.
NickM: I suppose that's possible, but most people who buy a car expect to keep it for many years. It's hard to predict what used-car buyers' preferences will be a decade in the future.
Paula: The sky photo is real as far as I know. The bridge definitely is. Interesting design concept.
Sandee: That guy's lucky to be alive, considering how hard horses can kick.
Tim: They can only be an improvement at this point.
I almost got stuck at that Gone-as-God image. I just posted a piece on my PM acquiring divine status.
Lots of good ones! I loved Fart Food, all of the puppies, and the big red dot.
Tomichan: Hard to believe nobody noticed that error before they had those printed up.
Ricko: Also hard to believe no one realized what the "art food" sign looked like until it was too late.
That big red dot looks very ominous to me somehow.
The hurricane seen from space is remarkable. The Vietnamese bridge is clever but rather repellent.
I'm curious that you find it repellent. Why is that?
The Castle gate after the Naples Italy picture is of Tollymore Forest Park in Ireland near Newcastle. The area was used in Game of Thrones. Very pretty.
Hurricanes from space look so ominous.
Isn't it strange how back in the 70's cars were so many bright colors and now every car you see is either white, black or some blue. It's so weird.
The bridge in Vietnam with the hands is pretty cool.
Leanna: thanks for the info. I looked up that park and there's a lot of interesting architecture there.
Mary: A lot of things seem to have gotten more drab-looking. Maybe it reflects the increasingly straitened and austere times.
How have I never seen a photo of the Golden Bridge before?
Is black jumpsuit lady Diana Rigg?
Bijoux: I never had either, until I found that one.
Ami: Yes, that's her!
I’m pretty good with my Aero-engines, I’m drawing a blank with the one with the guy in white coveralls. Something British though.
You're ahead of me. I wasn't even sure that was an engine.
