Ah, yes, the truck with “easily replaceable body panels” meaning that some mischievous teens with a screwdriver can strip your quarter panels while you sleep.
I’ll take that over a methhead with an angle grinder tbh
Once saw a photo of a fairly new BMW with the front fender all cut to pieces so someone could steal the windshield washer tank… Kinda makes you wonder who the fuck would do that, given that to own one of those cars, the thief would’ve had to have money first.
You know what, fuck it, I might consider that, given that my daily driver is starting to become a bit of a project car anyway. Buying a Chinese MPPS clone was a mistake, now I want a front-mount intercooler and a hybrid turbo and I already know what car’s injectors would easily spray more than mine if I raise the rail pressure which I can do no problem since I have a CP3 R90 high pressure fuel pump and…
I like colorful cars more, I really noticed how bland they were on the east coast of the us recently. White, grey, black. Almost all of them.
On the other hand, people seem bizarrely obsessed with washing their cars. I get the idea of removing salt if you live where that’s a thing, but otherwise I only wash my car maybe yearly. I just don’t care that much.
I’m tired of the grey. I’m also tired of the cars that are various shades of primer. They just look bad.
You don’t like Glossy Primer either?
There’s also that weird Truck that’s even missing the primer.
Slate?

Maybe it’s like catalytic converters, where there’s like 0.005g of platinum or something in it. Lol
The auto industry is dead it seems (in so many ways), it just hasn’t been told this fact yet.
For me grey is a nice utility color. Black cars show dirt easy as do white cars. Grey cars, not as much.
If you want to hide dirt, go with paisley, or something comparable.
Honestly, nothing is better at hiding a stain than a Hawaiian shirt, that same principle can be used anywhere.
Some car manufacturers have used WWI-style dazzle camouflage to make it harder to photograph prototype cars.
If it’s hard for a viewer to even make out the car’s lines, probably hard to make out anything on the car too.

The downside of both of those cars is, that you probably get pulled over on a regular basis.

We have a papyrus white Trabant, and it’s the exact colour of dried dirt. Never looks dirty.
They all have the same general shape, why not the same general color? /s
Same with sofas!
I had to buy a used one during COVID and the only thing left was gray, so I have a gray pilot now 😭
