What Color Vehicle Do You Have?

Living in a sun-drenched Desert environment, I will always choose a light color, which reflects sunlght rather than absorbs it like the darker colors.

Black is the worst for keeping your car cool, and demands extra energy and longer running time for your A/C. It is also the worst for showing dirt.

Whatever Hal !!......with or without your opinions on vehicle colors (which I don't recall anyone asking for) I've owned and will continue to own black vehicles as I see fit.

Do you wake up in the morning Hal and ask yourself, "how can I put my foot in my mouth, look like a self righteous jerk and pi$$ people off today or does it just come naturally for you ?"
 
Mine is a boring white. I chose white because I thought it would keep in interior cooler during the summer. However I once read something that stated that the color of the vehicle doesn't matter when it comes to trying to keep the interior cooler.

Yes. It sure matters with the interior color, though. I once had a Camaro with all black interior. It would burn to the touch in the summer. Never again.

That does make since. I've always had a light tan interior color. Black interiors are awful during the summertime .

I don't know if that's actually true, but there is nothing on wheels as beautiful as a clean, shiny black vehicle!

Mine is silver.

I agree about how beautiful a black car looks after it's been valeted ... and really my Black car doesn't ever look any dirtier than any other colour tbh...but I do know that when I've had silver cars they seem to show the dirt least..

My new Suburu is red. I didn't particularly want a red car, that was just the one that was available at the dealership when I decided to buy from them. It's a nice shade of red, almost maroon.

One funny thing is that my previous car was a kind of beige color. Very common here, and difficult to spot in a parking lot. I thought having a red car would make that a lot easier; the red would really stand out. Guess what
color is the most popular one around here this year? :)
 
Light colors are cooler in the sun belt. My convertible is light blue. The 3 SUVs that preceded it were all white.
 
I've been going back and forth about posting my car pic till finally the extra coffee this morning gave me the fortitude to do it.

This is The Mange Mobile, or Mangy is what I like to call her. 2001 Buick with 93,000 miles. Not a good looker but she runs great and very comfortable for me to drive. Plus when I go to Walmart or any other store parking lot, nobody wants to park next to me.. :encouragement:

I'm not sure of the color anymore..
 
Mine is RED!!!

I grew up in snow country and it was drummed into my head that I should drive a car that people would be sure to see in the winter when the snowbanks were high and the visibility was low.

It was also drummed into my head to always operate on the top half of the gas tank and never on the bottom half of the gas tank.

It's funny the things that you remember.
