My last car was a light tan,the one I have now van is all white.
Ive always preferred light colored vehicles. WHY? I dont know.
 

I just got a used candy apple '05 Explorer, it feels New to me. My last vehicle was a new 1975 Cordoba Chrysler that I drove until 2010. Some a**h*** stole it an used fireman ax all over, around, and inside it. WHY - I'm still pi**ed. I called my car "The Ugly Duckling" I know, it was just a car. BUT I still miss it. Vroom Vroom
 
Hmm... Ever since 1972,we've always had white cars with blue imitation convertible tops... all bought used. Pathological indulgence.
1972 Lincoln Mark IV, 1978 Olds, 1986 Olds, 1989 Olds, 1993 Chrysler Concord, 1996 Chrysler LHS and our current 2 cars...
1996 Cadillac SLS
1998 Lincoln Town Signature

We just wait until someone puts an estate car with low mileage on the market. These are probably the last cars we'll ever own, as we only put on 6 to 8,000 miles/yr now-a-days. The Caddy has 63K and the Lincoln, 113K... Nicely broken in... They still look almost new.96 Cadillac SLS.jpg1998 Lincoln Signature Town Car.jpg
Just figured out how much they have cost per car, over the combined 30 years that we have owned them...(Initial cost and repairs)... It comes to $1338 per year... Not too bad. :yeah:
 
Our '96 Jeep Cherokee is a medium teal color. Our '92 Dodge Diesel truck is a dark teal, and our '07 Dodge Nitro is a sand color. Teal is my favorite color, especially on ducks. :):)

Ah, I had six of the old ones. Brake problems, wiper problems, heater problems, limited power, go any where, float like a pie pan. The one I've got now drives like a sports car, with plenty of get up and go. They are not for everybody but it suits me, and is and will be my last car.
 
We bought an old used red one in the early '70s Drifter, came with a gas pedal that was shaped like a foot with toes, lol. Slip and slide on the snow and ice. :eek: The lights were super dim, driving on section of highway that had little lighting was an experience at night too.
 
When that monster tsunami hit Japan; on TV, there was video of whole parking lots just washed away. I thought all Japanese bought light colored care- silver & white. In video after video- light colored cars. If you look at a US parking lot, most of the cars seem to be light colored cars.
 
Our car is Silver, and the truck is White. I like light colored vehicles, as they are less prone to show the dirt and dust....and since we live on a gravel road, that is a Plus.
 
I've got a high mileage pewter colored 2003 Chevy Suburban (purchased used) that was my to and from work vehicle for a few years before I retired, it still runs great but my pickup is my most used vehicle since I've been retired.

I bought it new back in 2002......black Chevy Silverado currently with just 77,000 miles on it.

Mama's vehicle is a pearl Nissan Murano that we bought new for her back in 2009.
