We’re down to the final days before people will finally stop talking about who will win the presidential election. At that point they will instead talk about who lost the presidential election, and they’ll do that for about three years until campaigning starts for the next one. Is it any wonder I live as far as possible from the other Washington?
Silver remains by far the most popular choice for rental cars. But with a program like National’s Emerald Aisle, where you can pick your own car, it’s pretty easy to measure people’s preferences across all color options. National Car Rental put together this nifty graphic representing customers’ choice of either red or blue rental cars across the 50 states.
I think the most interesting thing about these data is that the color preferences actually line up pretty well with political leanings. Even Washington, which some people think of as a liberal Democratic state, is relatively conservative outside Seattle. But while my first car was red, I didn’t buy it in the first place, and I don’t think I’ve ever rented either a blue or red car. Do any of you have color preferences when given the choice? Maybe if there were more purple cars we could encourage some bipartisanship…
