Silver Cars

Whats the deal with silver cars? Almost everybody where I live has a silver car. Do they think it's made out of real silver? I came home from work one day and parked my red car in the middle of ten silver cars. I wish I took a pic of it.
I had a friend that said he would never get a silver car. He said it blended in with the road and you can't see it. I told him if you can't see a silver car coming at you, you need new glasses.
