An E30 could be pink and still be cool. Probably one of the best cars ever made.

A Haiku...

There is a reason

Gray is a real good color.  

Hides dirt and scratches.

I have owned one gray car, a Saab 900 in  Edwardian Gray Metallic.  When I was a kid, my Mother used to tell me that she had a hard time seeing gray cars on the road, that they blended into the asphalt too well.  Until I had that car, I had no idea.  In the year I owned and drove that 900, I had more near misses than I care to count.  It was literally once a week that I had to brake hard, swerve, or make some sort of emergency maneuver to avoid the brain dead fool who was trying to hit me because they simply could not see a gray car.

 

Never again.

 

I do seem to have a thing for red cars though,  usually on the Burgandy end of the hue.  My BMW was Calypso Red and my Landy is Alveston Red.  The Abarth.. well, that car is RED!

In reply to mad_machine :

When we started dating my Ex had an asphalt gray metallic Lotus Elan. Totally invisible on the road. I painted it Studebaker Turquoise. Visible for miles!
