People who own black cars on here...

[Bartman]

Have had many different cars over the years but never a black one, definitely has to be washed religiously. Darkest one I ever had was a dark blue '78 Mercury Monarch, that paint was Horrible. When you washed & waxed it, you'd come away with Blue rags! The paint was just oxidizing that bad. Thankfully it was a Fleet vehicle and I didn't keep it more than 2 years. Had 2 white cars in other years but found they looked almost as bad when dirty. I was in Auto Appraisal for some time and both Silver & Gold seem to hide minor scratches and such the best.

What counts to me the most is the Interior color since you're going to be IN there more than looking at the outside. Unfortunately so many color choices stick you with either Gray or Black on the inside and I've had enough of those that I won't have it anymore. Over the years I've decided that Beige feels the most comfortable to me. My current vehicle has a beige interior with woodgrain accents and the exterior is a light greenish hue which I feel is kind of a classy looking combination.

BMW, Cadillacs, and a Porsche.

How nice that Matchbox now makes all brands available for the kids.

So when you getting one? You can toss the kids in the bed!

I don't know - I really, really want one. A big one! With a lift kit. Maybe red though and not black.

I think I am going to hold on to my Escalade until the Might FC is for sale.

Well, keep saving money from the paper route and keep reaching for the stars. Who knows? Once in a great while, dreams do come true.

Did you find that you got tired of it? I've never had a black car, and I'm considering getting one. Just wondered if I'd get tired of it.

Hard to keep clean. If you like rain spots and dust Black is the color.
I have a 2012 Dodge Ram Sport pick up that is all black including the bumpers and grill. It has chrome "mag" style wheels and looks sharp. BUT>>after one day it looks like it needs washing.

I also have a dark green-gray metallic sedan that never looks as dirty as the pick up.

My wife's silver car always looks clean.

I have a black Prius. Even though I do like black cars I would never get another one without having a garage to keep it in. It always looks dirty.

Great choice.

...don't forget the gun rack!

[zenwalk]

I avoid black guns too.

Really? Pickups are great for hauling crap around. Isn't that really the point...just being able to toss whatever into the bed? I've had everything from landscaping supplies and mowers to furniture to boats. I've got a rack that I can carry 2 bikes and two kayaks all at the same time while leaving the bed open for camping gear and firewood when we go to the mountains or the beach or the lake house. I've brought back loads of firewood in them, helped people move in them..and on an on...

In addition, you can haul a ton of GS cookies.

DY!!!!

I keep my Taylor Made R11-S driver on the rack along with my new RBZ 3 wood.

My .38 should not be on the rack. It fits better in the glove compartment and in my pants pocket.

Black cars show non-black dirt, are hot in the summer and warm in the winter.

White cars show non-white dirt, are cool in the summer and cold in the winter.

Today's Best Bet - a plaid car in Hawaii.

Looks like I might go for Burgundy instead. It's the only other color that I have never had before, except for white. Which I would never get. They also look good clean, but when dirty... geez.
