Tell me about Ken!  My wife's Tempo is medium metallic grey.  NOBODY can see
this car,  thank goodness I've upgraded the brakes on her car, everyone
pulls out about 15 to 20 feet in front of us.  Same thing from my Cavalier
Z24, medium grey metallic.  After that the Z24, I swore I'd never buy a gray
car, or compact with a V6 again.  D@mn, if I didn't buy the Tempo (gray and
V6).
