Random Thought #5 - Powder Blue Cars

Have you ever noticed that people that drive powder blue (really really light blue, almost baby blue but slightly lighter) cars are really old and if they aren't old they look older than what they are? I noticed this today on my way to the post office. I saw this woman who is probably in her mid to late 30s and she was driving a a powder blue whatever car. She looked like she was about 55.
Now I'm not saying that 55 is old but I think you get my point. My other thought was that do you ever notice that the most popular powder blue cars are typically cars driven by the older generations (I'm trying to be PC about all of this, I'm normally more blunt than this).
For example, how many powder blue corvettes do you see? Not to many, most sports cars are red, black, midnight blue, purple, white, etc., but not powder blue. Now thing of how many powder blue Lincolns you see. Yes normally the Lincoln is one of the luxury cars with really darkly tinted windows and lots of leg room, but you can also flip that. You could also see you grandfather driving the powder blue Lincoln with no tinted windows of course. I think the same thing about a Cadillac. My grandparents drove one that was this color. I'm just saying...
