WTF?! I chose the color because it was calming and naturelike - - specifically to combat my hysterical tendencies.

Oh hell ... I can't win.

Ah, but see, it doesn't say it causes hysterical tendencies, just that it's chosen by people who have 'em. Which seems to have panned out exactly as predicted in your case.

Is there anything about me that says "calm"?

I didn't think so.

My car is the color it is because that was the only color available as a stick-shift when we were looking to buy the car.

It is so sad that my nature was determined by limited manufacturer availability. Told you there is no such thing as free will.

Alex, I got my car for the same reason. It was available in a stick-shift. I almost had a black one, but it was sold before I could get to it, so I have a silver car. I wanted blue, but the dealerships weren't helping me get one and at the time no dealership was trading the car amongst themselves.

I'm just not a silver car kind of girl. Black's not really my color either, but it would have been slightly more distinctive.

History: yellow, yellow, gray, yellow/green, red, silver, and silver.

I currently have a car that is black, one that is red, and one that is Blue. I also have a motorcycle that is teal/silver and one that is all chrome.

What does that tell you?
