The dealership in my town sells both BMW and Merc out of the same building.

The /s indicates I was being sarcastic.
There are a lot of people I know who wouldn't be able to deduce their color if they saw a white and black so I probably just wouldn't guess. Don't need another idiot driving a new BMW/Merc.
