The 2006 Ford Explorer comes in Black Clearcoat, Dark Blue Pearl Clearcoat Metallic, Dark Cherry Clearcoat Metallic, Dark Stone Clearcoat Metallic, Mineral Grey Clearcoat Metallic, Oxford White Clearcoat and Red Fire Clearcoat Metallic. No green.




Does it come in hybrid? And even if it does, it'd be a stretch to call it green.

you must remember, i was rear ended once (a hit and run) and i got the car that hit me's plates, and went to to the police station to report the accident, and i didn't know what kind of car hit me.. (a sports car-low and white.. was all i could say) turns outs, it was a pontiac firebirds.. the cops said "lady--you don't know a firebird by sight?" and i replied, "i do now" --for me to know what color car i drive is enough!

What you talkin about, Willis?

it isn't easy being green




I'd call that teal (definitely not _bright_ green), but colors are relative to some extent I guess.

heh. no, and I'm not sure what it stands (stood) for? Scholastic Reading Assessment maybe? they were self-directed vocabulary and grammar cards that we did in first and second grade and I thrived on them. they were graded by color, and we tried very hard to get through the whole stack. cool colors like "aqua"...

They were seriously cool, and one of my fondest memories of primary (elementary) school. Phenomenally effective at bringing out darwinian competitiveness in the gentlest and kindest of souls - and in me.

It stood for "Scientific Reading [Assessment?]. Wonder what happened to them. They came in a box, and then there was another box and a box after that. And on and on to dauntdom. One fold card stock.

seek and ye may find; this it?
