The other afternoon I was zipping along when up ahead I saw this gorgeous plum-coloured 350Z. I've seen these cars in many colours: shiny light blue, yellow, silver. But this is the first time that I understood on a gut level why these cars are so popular. Somehow the plum added just the touch of class that my particular aesthetic sense desires. The standard sporty colours make it seem 'light' to me, insufficiently weighty, frivolous. The plum gave it more heft, and really allowed the gorgeous contours of the body to show to advantage. At a red light I slowed close to the driver and complimented him on the vehicle. I felt his wise colour judgment should be reinforced.#
