Well those colors are pretty similar. I see a lot of them in the parking lot when I leave the store. Mine is distinguishable by the black mounts for my canoe roof rack. It really stands out when I actually have a canoe on the roof!
WHY are there so many little stickers your car needs? Inspection, insurance, resident parking... I'm sure I'm forgetting some. And they ALL EXPIRE AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I think it's some kind of conspiracy against us big picture people (aka ADHDers).

I also did not have my driver's license when married! Or by the time my first child was born.
When I was a teenager, I definitely rolled my eyes at my peers' fascination with cars. When my parents talked about whether or not I would learn to drive, I said I didn't want to yet, because I was afraid I'd be distracted and get in a wreck. Later, I concluded that* I understood my parents' anxieties and just let "Theodicy's intuition about how her parents REALLY want her to choose" shape my decision. And I wanted the extra time. (Still don't regret it.)
RE: car type... yeahhhh.. I do remember what type of car I have, but... make and model of other people's cars is.. not salient for me. (Likewise, my husband jokes that, in addition to being face-blind, he is "car-blind"!)
* But I also don't think I wanted my dad to teach me how to drive, because he had a temper, and challenging traffic situations notoriously made him nervous!
I DO think that you and I were both on the extreme end* of looking at modern culture's idea of "the teenage years" and saying "opt-out, opt-out, OPT-OUT! / ewwww, gross! / don't get that stuff anywhere near me / I'm not gonna touch it!!"
And that for us it was related to wanting better things, of which theology ended up being a big part. :)
* If your Modesty Song is any indication--btw, I read that post and was delighted! ESPECIALLY cracked up over the "in outer space!" line.
I can testify that the Minnesota State driving tests do _not_ require one to be able what kind of car you are driving. Mine is a silver one.
What is the difference between gray and silver? Is there one? Maybe we have the same color car

And don't forget how parking signs assume you know which day of the week it is!
We were in a traffic jam once and someone in another car told us the inspection was expired. It was several months past due.
I suppose you don't get ticketed often where you live!
We don’t drive much, and they can’t get you parked in your own driveway.

There's definitely a correlation between interest in theology and disinterest in cars :)
Ohhhh, I don't know about that! (:

You are 💯 correct.
