Mines red, but its all they had at the lot at the time, my last vehicle was Dark blue, and before that black, then dark red, then white, then black.

Mine is Silver but I wanted White.

wtf is the difference between sunny yellow and bright yellow?

inyong1988 · 05-14-2008, 02:18 PM

black here

***Janizary*** · 05-14-2008, 02:45 PM

Dark grey is not on the list. I have mostly owned silver, however.

People have also said the color of ink or highlighters dictates ease of memorization when studying.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to write off, however, that 5.5% of blue car owners have self-esteem 5.5% lower than the norm.

ROFL.

did anyone ever consider that different colors look better on different cars? for example i would not get blue on lets say an S2000, but blue on the FG is A+. i would never get green on most cars, but on a Jag? you bet.

i also ROFL at the notion that the more bold the color is, the less your self confidence is. i would imagine IF ANYTHING, it would be the other way around, since your not afraid to
pick the color you like instead of blending in.

That "study" could possibly be the biggest waste of money and time ever. And I mean ever.

1sloPR5 · 05-14-2008, 03:10 PM

What does Fiji count as....dark blue? light blue? Or does my confidence change because my car can change shades of blue? Personally I got a good laugh out of that article but it proves nothing really...

Where's the GGM analysis? Maybe we're off the charts

flutiedawg · 05-14-2008, 03:18 PM

***sh33t_0f_p4p3r*** · 05-14-2008, 03:19 PM

Gr3y Goose · 05-14-2008, 03:21 PM

Grey wasn't evaluated. All of the pointy-headed evaluators were mysteriously run over by something resembling a dark grey category 5 hurricane.

We're just that sneaky. Lulling others into a false sense of security and then BAM!

tite681 · 05-14-2008, 04:00 PM

RR owner. I totally disagree with their findings.

***jpik2003*** · 05-14-2008, 05:21 PM

Like someone mentioned, I choose colors depending on the car.
Civic = White
G35 = Black
350z = Red
S2k = Blue
Lambo = Orange

This *** guy drives Fiji Blue and would never drive an Si of another color.

***NitrousG35*** · 05-14-2008, 11:54 PM

^

I have a Fiji Blue because blue has always been my favorite color. Also, my mother died just when I was ready to order my Si last May. Her favorite color was blue as well, so everytime I drive my Si, I think of my mom.

BTW, I just got rear ended last week and while I was at the side of the road, a first response truck driver, a tow truck driver and a State Trooper all commented on how good my Si looked in blue.
