Due to the default width of my browser, when I browse through the car auctions, I see the listings in three columns. This layout reminds me of the classic three-window slot machines in Las Vegas. Today, I decided to select my cars based on the first row that had a car from each category. However, due to the dynamic nature of auctions, they were no longer aligned in the same row upon my last check. Nevertheless, I captured a screenshot of my ‘jackpot’ as evidence.

Ever since I purchased that Aero Gray Miata I see an awful lot of vehicles painted in various shades of some sort of non-metallic grey. I was going to have the car wrapped in bright shade of blue, but after the reactions from all the folks at the Mazda dealer to see the car in this color. I think I’ll just leave it gray, because gray has become the new silver.
