    Post When you see ________colored car on the road,what do you think?

    When you see ________colored car on the road,what do you think? This is not meant as an insult or color bashing thread...just opinions and assumptions...for fun of course.

    1. Black cars: Clean and elegant, the person has good taste.

    2. White cars: Plain and simple, but also boring and "colorless". Sometimes makes me think its a "feminine" color for cars.

    3. Red cars: The owner is loud and energetic, likes to get attention and be seen/heard.

    4. Yellow cars: Looks to "asiany" or Pokemon like. Also makes me think of traffic signs, school buses, and bananas.

    5. Blue cars: A popular color choice...eh no other comment.

    6. Green cars: I think of the word Horny....(since green is the color for horny)

    7. Silver cars: Very forgiving and can go for months without washing and still look "clean"....also very boring and lacks depth even after a good detail.

    8. "Champagne" Cars: Ummmm its gold....i dont like gold...lol

    9. Grey cars: Makes me think of pavement.

    10. Orange cars: Makes me think of a contest or championship.

    I never have a general opinion on any color really but just wanted to add:

    As well as grey, silver, and or champagne colored cars...

    ESPECIALLY in Arizona or Nevada, you will see a LOT of white and grey cars. Hardly any black. Why? Because black is way too impractical in the desert sun, fades quickly, and doesn't cool down as fast. I see a lot of luxury vehicles that are white around here for that reason alone. Are there black cars? Yes, but usually owned by out of state visitors. Same goes for dark colors in general.

    Oh, and here's my impressions if I really thought about it (as I usually don't)

    1) Black: sleek and stylish (but in AZ I love to bake and paint my car every 2 years)

    2) White: Clean, understated, and practical in the extreme heat.

    3) Red: bold and fun. Reminds me of racing too.

    4) Yellow: Look at me, I'm unique!

    5) Blue: classy, light blue: calming and peaceful

    6) Green: Nature lover

    7) Silver: sun smart

    8.)Champagne: regal (seen as gold)

    9) Grey: no comment.

    Yeah my cousin who lives in Las Vegas tells me the ratio of white/silver > black cars is like 10 to 4. You mention black getting hot and taking too long to "cool down" yes that is true, in the sense exterior wise the vehicle is hot but interior wise is more of the isssue, espeically black leather interior...its not like were sitting on the hood. =P As for fading quickly...thats why a black car needs routine wash, clay, wash, polish, and sealing periodically. Heres a recent picture of my Civic...all nice and clean with no oxidation/fading....=P

    I mean, I really don't mean to knock you here, but, really. When I see a kickass car of any type drive by, My mind makes it transform. And if I'm driving by it and shit, I try to take the driving behavior and match a personality.

    Yup. Small one.

    Hhahaha when you drive from tampa to orlando, the florida state earth movers is there. Full sized earth movers. The first time I drove by this. I pulled over and just HAD to get an idea how tall Devastator would be.

    Unbelievable.

    I'm just a happy dork guys. Nothing more than second-knuckle deep here. Just: The cooler the car, The cooler the Autobot.

    Everybody is hatin on my champagne car. It wasn't my first choice, but I like how it takes the Texas heat and dust very well, and still looks sparkly when clean.

    When I see Green cars though, I think bad choice for here, since Austin has so much grass and trees and other foliage, and green cars get run into more because you can't see them, they blend in!

    I like champagne. (ie Gold) R commented "what, they couldn't find a nicer color, so they went with THAT? (referring to a champagne colored car) That color is just...NOTHING."

    I laughed at him because I totally disagreed.

    I generally think about what the owner was thinking when they were buying the car and what that says about them.

    Yellow: Crazy for being a cop-magnet.

    Red: Sporty yet classic... and still throwing caution to the wind with the whole cop-magnet thing.

    White: Practical, elegant

    Green: Cheap/practical

    Blue: Trying to be different but not going crazy

    Black: Super cool... Really into their car and what it looks like... and they spend a lot of time washing it.

    I've actually seen Xterras in white a lot, but then again, see above. I live in AZ

    What I think is hilarious is the "thugs" that go driving around in yellow cars with yellow interior, dressed in ALL yellow.

    When I see a champagne colored car, I'll think "Orgy?"
