CanuckInUSA 0 #1 September 6, 2011 Does the color of your car mean anything about who you are? Some people say it does. But I am not completely convinced. Of course I have always bought used and bought what I thought was a good deal for me at the time. So it's not like I have ever specifically ordered a new car in a preset color. Then again, I did refused to buy a car once specifically because of it's color. It was a shame since the car was in fantastic condition, but I just could not stand it's puke green color. Anyway, my car is silver and I have become a big fan of silver cars. But not because silver cars (as described in the article) "communicate a sense of aspiration and at times, an embrace of futurism". No I like my silver car because it hides the dirt. When you are close to the car you can see that it is a little dirty, but from a distance it looks clean. As much as I like black cars, they show every spec of dirt. http://lifewise.canoe.ca/Living/2011/08/30/18617781.html Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutz 0 #2 September 6, 2011 Mine is blue. I test drove one and told the salesman if he had a blue one I would buy it. I didn't read the article, it probably says I'm likely to be a serial killer or something. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I DO however, know what it says about me now that I'm driving a black Jeep with a black top and a black interior around southern Arizona...

Elvisio "dumbass" Rodriguez When I bought my Jeep, I wanted silver, but the bastards only sold silver with the black hardtop, and damned if I was going to drive around the CO Front Range in the summer with that. So I went with the "khaki" color which came with matching hardtop."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

oldwomanc6 52 #10 September 6, 2011 I'm not sure that there is all that much deep meaning to what color your cars are, unless you bought only one color--ever. Most people don't really have that much control over the color. They just buy what they feel is the best deal on the lot. If it is a color they especially like it's a bonus. Let's face it, the percentage of people who special-order a car is miniscule. I've had every color car except orange, even a few odd colors like baby-shit brown and a van that was green in the daylight but looked purple under artificial light. My current vehicles are dark silver, blue and red. There could probably be a better case (of deep, dark meaning) made for what color rig and jumpsuit a jumper chooses. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #15 September 6, 2011 White = If lives in hot part of country, doesn't want to make the mistake of buying a black car again. That said, an acceptable color for cars from Germany. Green = Idiot or drives a car made in England; perhaps both. Red = Wants you to look at them. People with small penises in Corvettes. Yellow = Red, turned up to 11. People with REALLY small penises in Corvettes. Blue = Perhaps the lesser of all evils, unless you live in a part of the country where white would actually be a better choice. Acceptable the world over. Grey = Wants you to believe he's driving a "silver" car. It's not silver, it's grey. Marginally acceptable in cars from Germany. Black = Wants to be Darth Vader.

CloudyHead 0 #21 September 7, 2011 my civic and crotch rocket are both blue.. i bought both of them after my ex-girlfriend dumped me for very shallow reasons. I came to the conclusion after i got over her than she was in fact, EVIL. And, well... she LOVED THE COLOR RED. From that moment forward i started liking everything that was blue, because good (blue) triumphs over evil (red) somehow.. and I will always fight her evil "kind". Immature? yes... but then it just stuck. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
