True that. I noticed that in Iraq, Qatar and Kuwait there were a lot of black cars. More in Qatar and Kuwait. I asked our interpreter why, in some of the hottest parts of the world, someone would even consider a black car. His answer was that it’s a status symbol. If you have a white car, then you’re practical, thus poor (‘Poor’ meaning that you only have ONE kajillion bazilion dollars in the bank). If you have a black car, then you have a cool garage, a servant to polish it and to cool it off before you get in. Keep pumping that gas, world. You’re paying for modern day footmen.
