Hi all,
Forget it guys and girls... ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) rescued me as usual... pasting the link of the page checker I had found given me the right google search I had to perform... so solved, thanks!
I am searching for a good free website that would help me checking if a website I've made complies with all the desired rules (phone friendly...).
Time ago I found some of them that gave me good insights of a couple of websites I prepared years ago...
But the ones I used seem not to exist anymore.
I've found this one but is not giving much information: Free Website Analysis Tool | BDC.ca[^]
Thank you all!

I can't speak for them, but the TWiT podcast network is constantly advertising UserWay for checking site compliance for accessibility. Not sure if this is what you're looking for.

I would imagine they have some free or eval thing.

I don't know what they are like where you live, but here in the USA, 90% or so of the cars are depressingly the same.
The colors are either white, Black, or some shade of Gray. I include Silver as it is just a shiny shade of gray.
The shape of the sedans is roughly the same.
The shape of the SUVs and Crossovers is basically the same.
The shape of the pickups is basically the same.
The sports cars seem to be the notable exception, Corvette, Mustang, and Acura NSX.
If it different in your location, please let me know.

Over here in the Netherlands it is a colorful mix, also more and more electric cars are appearing.
A brand you won't see much in the States is Skoda I think, still despised (unjustly) over here by most people, but gaining popularity as it turns out to be very solid and lasting.

Skoda is now part of Volkswagen and consequently much better than they were.

You might be surprised by this Czech car: Tatra 87 | Louwman Museum[^]
Now you know where the inspiration for the Volkswagen Beetle came from ...

You can see traces of Volkswagen,Porsche and Citroen in that car

It was different in the 60s and somewhat in the 70s.

20 years ago, I was saying the same thing and it still holds true now. The progress is a very slow evolution with makers copying each other. More electric vehicles, but not so much in styles, but I am old and have many biases.

hey now, I live in the midwest with my f150 that is grey. I resemble this. hahaha
I do also have a 1963 Ford and it is such a pretty car compared to everything else on the road.

Well I drive a red one since a few days, partly indeed because it is too often black, white or grey otherwise.
But what is equally annoying is that most manufacturers also bring out models that suspiciously lookalike. (as you also pointed out)
And of course, there are many, many cars around these days ...
taking it to another rant
Cars have way too much electronics requiring your attention. My new car made the dashboard light up on every whatsapp message I got (I had to switch that off), you go slightly out of lane, you drive mildly over the speed limit, you come a bit to close to some pedestrian or other car and your dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree. You want to switch from radio to your phone music or vice versa --> you need to click 5,6 times before you can get there.
I'm all for safety, but the tools themselves should do it without moving your attention from actually driving.
On the other hand, I understand the car can't distinguish if you're driving or sleeping

Mine is red, too. It is named Robert. It is a red Ford.

Shape has converged, in part due to wind tunnel testing. To increase mileage, reducing drag is important.
Color? Too many colors are meh, but black is black. Even car vendors can't mess that up!

In Norwegian, to be "blakk" is to have no money. I was curious to see if there is a relationship between (Norwegian) "blakk" and (English) "black". To my surprise, I learned that the original meaning of "black" is "void of", that be void of money, color or something else.
Furthermore, the same root has also evolved into "blank". If your memory is blank, you are void of memories - hopefully only on a specific topic, not in general  . In the 1800s, in some languages such as Danish and partly Norwegian (which was half-Danish at the time), "blank" was a term used to describe whites as distinguished from the blacks.
So not only is it a contradiction to replace "black", void of color, with "colored". But also, in earlier times, the same term, etymologically speaking, denoted both white and black people.

Thanks for the language lesson, although since the topic is automobile colors in English, Norwegian language, memory issues, and race don't apply.

Yep. You can only make a pickup look like a pickup in so many ways. As for color, we can blame Henry Ford who allegedly said of the Model T

Here in Chicago, it is the same, but many of the cars here are accessorized with bullet holes.
