From Gail Hagen's correspondance:

I can tell them a color of a car, that will be in danger or have a concern to them

I can see that you will be in danger or concerned with a silver car. If, in the next week you are concered with or feel you are in danger from or in a silver colored car, come back and answer yes, if not answer no at that time.

Please observe very carefully while around cars during this period, as you might forget the incident that I am forseeing unless you are alert.

I drive a silver car. We had a big snowstorm here in New York, and the roads are icy. So I (and probably several tens of thousands like me) were in danger while driving silver cars yesterday and today. And of course, people who weren't driving silver cars were in danger from those of us driving them. And come to think of it, I''ll be in danger from all the people who are driving silver cars tonight, too, when I go home.

Now, what are the odds of that? :dl:

To maximize the odds I checked for the most popular color of car! I was expecting my prediction to come true for me on the way home, but it was a green car that pulled out in front of me, causing me to brake on the snow covered road and be concerned over whether or not I could slow down enough.

Long Island NY, driving a Silver Camry.
Sunday we had 14 inches of powder, just shoveled out the cars for work today, now the roads are pretty clear.
Not ever the SUVers are driving wacky.

Any possible interpretation that results in a hit counts.

I am in great danger from a silver car, and it isn't even moving! I have contracted to do snow removal from my neighbor's driveway, and my snowblower broke down last week! It will not be fixed until next week! I live in Atlantic Canada, where we have had three blizzards over the last ten days or so. I have been forced to actually shovel all that darned snow by hand, no mechanical assistance at all. Being over 50 and not in that great a shape, I believe I am putting myself at risk of having a heart attack! Danger! ... Danger! And yes, ... her car is SILVER! I'm a goner for sure.

I drive a silver Corolla in snow country, and that color is popular around here.

That said, my insurance company doesn't think I'm in all that much danger, judging by my premiums and driving record.

And coincidentally (or not), neither do I.

Well, much to my embarrassment, I clipped a GOLD car (in my GREEN minivan) in a crowded parking lot over the past weekend. I'll give it a week before I answer the poll, but if something else automobile-related happens to me in the next week, well...

Well...

Well, I guess them's the brakes (or lack thereof).

I've got a silver A6, I'm a crappy driver and we had a fair dump of snow around here a couple of weeks ago that made life on the roads interesting. Big fat yes from me.

Some of the trains here are made of stainless steel, which is a silvery colour, and the individual carriages are also known as cars.

I missed my train this morning. Hit!

My nighbors had a party last week. So I parked my daughters sliver car in our drivway. The day after the party I went to park her car back in the street and noticed a big pile of vomit where her car is normally parked.

Sould I bag it up and send it to Gail Hagen to verifiy that this is what she was talking about?

Silver Chevrolet Tracker 4WD. Pulled out on the highway the other night, had it in two-wheel drive, and didn't realize that the day's mist and thawing snow had refrozen into an icy glaze on the road surface. I fishtailed a little, which is always dangerous on a highway, but got it back under control. Hit!

I had an accident on the 8th of January, pretty well wrecked my Toyota Highlander (final bill about $8K)--which is Millienium Silver (Toyata name for their paint).

Of course, this is outside the target area, but it was silver, it was an accident, and it was sorta, kinda, maybe close to the date, so Hit!!

My neighbor's youngest, is 18 years old and on his 4th car (two totals and one engine fire), a silver & rust Toyota.

Every single day my life is threatened by a silver car.
