yeah, it does look boring compared to red, black, blue or purple (sorry, that's black cherry mica), but it's easier to see than most colors other than red, and it makes the car look bigger than it is. it's also easy to keep clean. not to mention the classy factor.

edit: forgot all about german racing silver... :twisted:
edit 2: forgot to make a seemingly random BK joke....can't think of one at the moment... :?

I would take any of the colors mentioned. That means black is out and silver is definitely out.

Depends. Are you talking light or pigment?

was talking light, in the context of what is a color and what's not. what you said at least implied that black is not a color, which i am trying to make sure is true, but can't remember back to my elementary school art class...

Think about it this way:

If you get light bulbs in every color and funnel them through one lens you get white.

If you remove all of the light bulbs you get black.

If you mix all the paints together you get black.

If you remove all pigments you get an albino.

Al Bino? I saw him in concert a couple months ago. He was eggsalad!
The bass from his keyboard was jacked-up so high, it really did seem like some sorta life form had entered the room.


He invented hanging the keyboard from a strap so he could play it without being trapped behind a stand.

I must admit the tail lights are pretty ugly on the G37.

I wonder how a Genesis coupe is

in many ways, for the coupe, the 1st gen was nicer than the 2nd gen, looks wise at least. the 1st gen had a classic look to it. as for the sedan, the 1st gen looks dated but also has a more classic and classy look to it, while the 2nd gen starts to get the newer cheap nissan genes with bubble bodies and cheap looking front and rear ends. i still like the 2nd gen Gs over the newer Qs. The older M series looked better than the G sedans of course.

tl;dr: get an s2k :lol:

I was liking the Fiat124s!! I took a gander at a Miata while I was at a Mazda dealership.

I was looking at a Ford Explorer with a stick!
