Many years ago, I bought a new car, a plain-jane "stripper" model that 
was utterly bland-looking.  I wouldn't even let the dealer install a 
factory-provided trim strip that was meant to jazz up the appearance 
slightly.

But it was a quality-built car which had all the features I desired:  
Smooth engine, 5-speed stick, comfortable interior with A/C, stereo, 
etc.  I put some even more-bland-looking steel wheels on the car with 
better tires, and drove happily throughout the eastern US.

 From time to time, friends and even strangers would ask why I had such 
a (1) bland or (2) ugly car.  My reply was that, from behind the wheel I 
could not see the car, and, living in suburban New York City, I knew 
that my car would be the LAST to get stolen.
