"What are you talking about? The lady obviously needed help with her luggage. She couldn't manage it by herself, and I was able to help her, so I did!" - Count Basie, when asked why he carried a White woman's luggage when she mistook him for a porter.
@bigdub During The Great Depression, some automobile manufacturers provided one taillight as standard; the second was optional. There were buyers of bottom-of-the-line cars, such as this 1937 Ford Standard Model, who didn't want to spend the extra money to be able to be seen better at night, and the manufacturers saved the cost of including it, keeping the company's accountants happy. I saw what I consider such cheapness and stinginess as humorous from the perspective of the passage of 84 years. My thinking is that if you could afford a new car at the time, the nominal cost of the additional safety wouldn't hurt the budget.

:
This is the music that my parents instructed me not to like when I was a kid. Lotta good that did!
I was stupefied by the girl that played the first tune. She played all the right notes but emphasized the beat! 
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!
Other than that... I couldn't help but smile. Apparently neither could anyone else. Happy, joyful music!
Decades ago I set up and autocrossed a friend's Sunbeam Tiger. What a blast! It was a bit tail-happy, but it just made steering with the throttle easier.
A few years ago I had the chance to autocross a couple of Mazda MX-5s. Superb. Dale, you've got a winner there. Happy motoring!
@ssmith1226 I like that they painted the PVC box blue; a nice tribute. Here's my favorite; I saw this live on their tour (in 2003, I believe):
@barliman2001 I wish you a remarkably speedy and complete recovery.

Believe it or not, I have finally realized and have to concede that I have a bit of difficulty recognizing the difference between very dark blue and black. It has come up several times only recently but I would describe something as āblackā and have everyone else who looks at it say, no, itās dark blue!I may have a solution to your dilemma. Go to YouTube and search for āMarcus Pincus the Tailorā. Choose the video called āThe Tailorā. If you search specifically for āThe Tailorā other videos will show up first.
If you watch this video, the comparative method solving your visual problem will be obvious. I am not posting it directly due to a language issue near the very end. If you are offended by crude language, in this case one word beginning with the 6th letter of the alphabet, then please donāt watch it. The below is a screen shot of the appearance of the video on YouTube. It is not a video link.
Thanks, and I hope it helps, or at least makes you smile.
I recommend watching this video to the very end, past the credits.
- Seen it before; didn't watch it again.
