This reminds me of last winter. I had gone to the movies for an early matinee so it was still light when I came out. It is important to know that there had been a lot of snow and so forth in the weeks prior to this trip to the movie.

My cobalt/electric blue 2008 Lancer is quite distinctive, for some reason there are not many around Indianapolis - and the color is quite striking. So here I am in the parking lot and I can't find my car I look, and look again, there aren't even THAT many cars in the lot!

I start to panic when it finally dawns on my that I am actually standing right in front of my car...the problem was that it was no longer any shade of blue (cobalt or otherwise) but a uniform gray from all of the sand/salt/weather....

After I stilled my racing heart I took it directly to the car wash
