On car colours, mother in law is the most car unconscious person ever. Over the years where we have changed cars, she won't notice at all that it's a new car. Sometimes after being in it a dozen times she'll ask if something is different about the seat or something. Yes, it's a different car!
Anyway, as she could never find our car in a carpark, we once had a new silver one. We trained her to look for that. To this day, multiple cars and colours later she will still head for the nearest silver car of any make.
She still has a car herself and drives a little, but has never known what sort it is or anything about it at all. Her local tiny village garage still does the refuelling for her even.
Yes, she has multiple redeeming qualities, and yes, we love her to bits. Bless her.
