So as it happens and although it may have been obvious to many of you, it came as a bit of a surprise to myself that I am an idiot. Specifically my idiocy was unable to distinguish between black and grey. I needed to get a part number and the vin of my GS so I needed to remove it’s pyjamas. Lone behold, and after 10 minutes of rooting around the car, a little voice in the back of my head began to remind me the difference between the colour black and the colour grey. How does this relate to this thread you might ask? Well…I have spent the last two days tracking down red brake calipers only because the grey ones would not look good with my new wheels. Although that is still a correct statement, what is at issue is my current callipers are a wonderful shade of gloss black. Which incidentally will go nicely with the new wheels. So the hunt for red october has ended.
My take away however is that none of my CCF friends have reminded me that I am an idiot and that revelation this morning was quite startling. So, friends should remind their idiot friends regularly that they are idiots, and help them avoid the startling and uneasy revelation that they are an idiot. Do it because you are a friend.
