About two months ago I put a deposit down on a new Toyota Prius. I'd looked at all the colors and decided on the blue, although I kept seeing a gunmetal gray color one that I really liked. Going to the website, though, there was no gray choice. Hm.
Due to various roadblocks (including, but not limited to, Katrina, damage at the docks with a blue Prius, $3/gal gas driving up demand), delivery kept getting delayed. Finally, I heard that their October shipment was on its way, but that the blue model might not get here until the end of October, which was when my current car's registration expired. My salesperson said that they could get a green one a few days earlier. I didn't like the green color on the website, but I also didn't like not having a new car, so I said great, let's go for the green.
I went to get the car today. Guess what? IT'S GRAY! I have NO idea how this is considered green. I guess under the right lighting conditions--like maybe a giant green spotlight. Anyhow, all's well that ends well, as I like this color and (so far) I like the car. I'll post a pic when I can.
EDIT: OK, here's the car with Anna doing her best Carol Merrill.
