Red Beetle [EN/PT]

It's interesting to think about how nowadays, with the standardization of car colors, traffic becomes more and more monotonous every year. Black, grey and white are the predominant colors of our vehicles. Things are not like they used to be, when the more different a car was, the more charming it became. These days, what were once popular cars are now classics.

It's getting harder and harder to see these classics on the streets, and when some of these survivors pass by, it's hard not to be struck by the monochrome, not just of the colors, but also of the models. The classics were authentic and look even more so now.

Yesterday, as I was leaving the market, I couldn't help but notice a beautiful blood-red VW Beetle parading down the avenue. Beautiful, clean and with at least 80% of its original parts, as its black license plate showed. It was very beautiful, eye-catching and, with the exception of the distracted, everyone looked at it and admired it. And of course, I was one of them. I saw it coming from a distance and took a few quick photos. It was great to see another survivor of the old days out there, working and bringing more color to the gray of our city!

É interessante pensar em como, hoje em dia, com a padronização das cores dos carros, o trânsito se torna cada vez mais monótono a cada ano. Preto, cinza e branco são as cores predominantes de nossos veículos. As coisas não são como antigamente, quando quanto mais diferente um carro era, mais charmosa ele se tornava. Nos dias de hoje, o que antes eram carros populares, agora são clássicos.

Está cada vez mais difícil ver esses clássicos pelas ruas, e quando alguns desses sobreviventes passam, é difícil não chamar a atenção diante da monocromia, não apenas das cores, mas também dos modelos. Os clássicos eram autênticos e se mostram ainda mais assim agora.

Ontem, quando estava saindo do mercado, não pude deixar de perceber um belo Fusca vermelho, cor de sangue, desfilando pela avenida. Lindo, limpo e com pelo menos 80% das suas peças originais, como a sua placa preta demonstrava. Era muito bonito, chamava a atenção e, com exceção dos distraídos, todos olham e ficam admirando. E claro, eu fui um deles. Vi de longe ele chegando e tirei algumas fotos rápidas. Foi bem legal poder ver mais um sobrevivente das antigas por aí, funcionando e trazendo mais cor para o cinza da nossa cidade!

Great picture angles! I've not seen such type of cars in ages, definitely also feel that most modern cars lean more towards standardized mass appeal, which means mostly average designs.
