    Yes, Black really is the best choice for car colors...
    When it's clean. I had a black G35 and it was beautiful after a solid day of washing, polishing, waxing, etc., but it looked absolutely terrible when dirty.

    Please don't tell crotchrocket it looks terrible dirty.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    Haha, yeah very true, but I keep the VX in the garage most of the time so I can just touch it up, dust it off and make one washing last weeks and weeks. Now the RX-8 on the driveway needs to be washed weekly.

    What kills me is the main road to my development has the planted medians. They are always watering the grass in there and basically 50% of the water ends up on the road. We can have weeks and weeks here without rain, but these damn sprinklers always FUBAR my clean black VX. The only place it stays clean is in the garage.

    Nah, the standard doesn't apply as much for SUVs, especially ones with as much off-road gear as he has on his. But sports cars NEED to look good IMO.

    Yeah, I know what you're sayin, it's just that "in between" dirtiness that annoys me. My VX should either look spotless, or look like I just pulled off the trail.
