    I saw someone say they liked silver as a car color. Silver is one of the last colors I would get but that is because I worked in the auto industry and silver is to close to the color of an unpainted car body.

    Here's some colors I avoid:
    Silver = Where's my paint?
    White = Rental car.
    Red = Statistically accident prone, brake lights blend in too well plus cops like them.

    I don't think I'd ever buy a black car - as soon as they're a couple of years old they look like stripper's cars. I like white cars. Neither of my previous white cars looked like rentals (see below), and the only time I've ever been pulled over by the cops in my red car was when I was going 140kph :D

    The next car I get will hopefully be a caramel Peugeot 306 XSI. AKA metallic brown :p

    Those would be rental cars in the US if imports could get into the rental fleets. :eek:

    Every car I have owned since 1989 has been black.

    You have 70s cars as rentals in the USA?

    Careful you don't get carjacked by strippers looking for a new ride :)

    I was going to mention it would be Rent-A-Wreck or Ugly Duckling rentals for those 70s sleds.

    It gets car jacked by school girls, my own. Wouldn't strippers go for a Mitsubishi Mirage, a Jetta or some other little coupe and not a family transport vehicle like this?

    Black = fades to quickly
    White = dirt shows up too easily
    Yellow = it's just plain ugly

    What's dirt? Here in SoCal cars with dust on them line up 20 deep at the auto spa, I wait for rain. :p

    I want a maroon luxury car next.
    At the moment I have a muddy blue and it fades into the background.
