Astoundingly Stupid Things Camo Mode

I need to talk to the military about selling my technology—my car seems to have some invisibility powers associated with it.

I drive a dark blue PT Cruiser. It’s snowing outside. For some reason, nobody seems to be able to see my car. I almost got hit twice on a short, one-mile trip to the Post Office. And it wasn’t because of the weather, because these people weren’t even braking—I could see their wheels rolling along just fine, not slipping or sliding or locked up at all. Apparently I’m either invisible or they’re just plain stupid.

Well, considering that I truly believe myself much smarter than most people on the road (eg I don’t drive fast in snowstorms), it’s probably the latter.
