The Curse And Glory Of Black Cars

The glory is black is it is one of the slickest colors to paint a car. The way it absorbs and reflects the light is almost magical. No other hue is deeper.

The curse is black is only glorious when it is clean. No other color shows dirt better. No other color shows the flaws in the body better.

I like to call the half hour after it is freshly washed, before dust can settle on it, the glorious thirty.

By the time I watch a sit-com the glory is over and it's dusty.

Oh yeah, she has a name now. The Dark Lady. Find the Ceili's Muse song of the same name, it's appropriate.
