What amazes me is how some colors never seem to attract any interest. We all know that orange is one of the least used colors. Unless it's the General Lee from Dukes of Hazard, nobody has an orange car.
The other puzzling one for me is green. A dark green car can look amazing. Many old sports cars from Britain came in a dark green. Mix that with a wood dashboard or tan interior and it looks stunning. (Yet nobody drives a green car.)
Finally, brown is a color that never seems to be used for anything.
When I look around at other cars on the road, if they're not white or silver, they're just a different shade of white or silver. There are very few cars around that have any true color at all. Typically, if the car is a bright color, it's a vehicle used for advertising a business.
Before.. My BIL found a 94 Town Car in Southern Il dirt cheap so I replace Abe with Abe 2.0.. Black car, black leather, aluminum rims, digital dash. I swapped my stereo system into the new Abe, had a few minor things fixed, replaced the passenger window regulator so the power window works again. Lots of miles on it, and it burns a bit of oil but it's better than what I had.
I was selling the 92 for $1500.. no bites, dropped it to $1300, a guy was interested, offered $900, we settled at $1100. I paid $800 for the 94 I bought.

So how do you like this new one compared to your old -- do you think the new one cooler because of the badass futuristic technology?
