I tried several combinations and red worked great visually with the bugs splatters on the windshield, reinforcing the theme of the constant presence death (so constant that you end up fogetting about it).\nthanks!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1120564,"author_name":"designernap","author_uid":"designernap","epoch":1729880019,"text":"Great mood and message in this one.
