In my observation, there seems to be a correlation to bad drivers and WHITE CARS. I was rear-ended by one years ago driven by a 17y/o boy in his mom's car. A friend had a white one turn left in front of her blue Bronco which totaled them both. I was nearly broadsided by a girl in a white Honda crossing a 55mph highway - just barely dinged my rear quarter because I accelerated rather than trying to stop and T-boning her. There are more I could relate, if I could remember them all. Every time I hit the road, I give extra attention to white cars, and as often as not, they need need special consideration.
Maybe it's a reverse Ninja thing: the Ninja in black believes he exists but can't be seen; the driver of a white car believes what can be seen doesn't exist. Or it might be something with the Spanish for white: "blanco", and the blank minds behind the wheel.
Come to think of it, even I'm not immune. The worst accident I was ever involved with, I was driving a white mini-van, pulling a trailer loaded too heavy in the rear. Cross wind on an overpass started it fish-tailing and threw me off the road at about 60mph. Only minor damage and finished the trip, but it certainly made me check my shorts.
Now to keep this tractor related: this is why I won't ever own a White tractor.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
