No Brown or Diesel in Jalop Survey???

Does anyone else find it extremely odd that for all the talk of a brown diesel anything being the epitome of Jalop, that neither color or fuel type is a question in the survey of how Jalop your car is?

(Note: It is REALLY difficult to find even a picture you can confirm is of a brown manual diesel wagon).

Edit: I'm thinking of the following options for color:

A. Brown

B. Beige (If you have to ask, that's a yes... Looking at you champagne Lexus).

C. Any of those colors you see everywhere (any color seen exclusively in silent films)

D. Retina scorching

E. Do you mean the color of most of the body panels?

Yes, but then people with the least Jalop car color in the world, like me, can then claim to have a Jalop brown car (see the 3rd color on this list of browns).

I'd just assumed that if the powers that be had added a question about color, beige would have been an option all on its own to drag the score down further.

What about champagne?

Touche, I've amended my list above to "include" such offenders.

Being made in Sweden isn't an option either.

So if you have a brown diesel Volvo, tough luck.

If you have a brown diesel RHD Golf made in South Africa (as they are) tough luck.

I'm actually split on champagne. If it's just beige, go to hell, but a pinker champagne at least hints at some level of personality. If only for having the balls (or breasts?) to buy a pink-hued car.

Holy crap, you're right. I have my ultimate bastard child that is the Swedish branded Japanese car built by an American manufacturer (the Saabaru), so I picked Japanese because that's what I consider it.

I can't believe they'd forget those, since a brown diesel Volvo (in wagon form with a stick) is the only car capable of 100% you'd think.

Haha, I think for those oddities of manufacturing you have to pick where the automaker is from.

Haha, true, but if it's truly a pinker champagne I think it I'd cover it under retina scorching, with my evidence below:

I'm going to have to look at that quiz again, because I SWEAR I selected Sweden.

Are we taking the same quiz?

This is what I get for taking someone's word for it and not checking the quiz again after they said it wasn't included..... I should have known better.

Thanks for the heads up.

Haha no problem. I think fuel type was in there as well. Color definitely wasn't, though.
