Hue Knew? Aussies' Black Cars Most Likely to Crash
According to a study by Monash University Accident Research Centre, silver vehicles are 10 percent more likely to crash than their white counterparts. While black vehicles are even more hazardous to one’s vehicular health– accident rates are 12 percent higher than white cars'– the Aussie researchers are particularly keen to diss silver. One-third of new vehicles sold Down Under sport this hazardous hue. Dr. Stuart Newstead attributes the bent silver fenders to the color’s low contrast, particularly in fading light and cloudy conditions. Newstead recommends using headlights or daytime running lights to improve visibility. Better still, buy a white car. Representatives from the Oakland Raiders and BMW designer Chris “Axles of White Power” Bangle were unavailable for comment.

I've noticed that most cars down here are white. Black cars are rare. Of course, owning a black car in summer can be a toasty experience.
Press release from Jesse Jackson: "This proves that Australians are racists and should pay reparations to all black car owners."
That Mustang is hideous.
