Daily drive weekend washed. Love mine!

jackka · 02-08-2011, 12:46 AM

I bought black and use it every day and do not regret it.

It's not always shiny unless I wash it the weekend before, but I dont mind the rugged, dirty look as well. so it works out for me.

Like my friend said once, "It looks good even when it looks like crap".

Having said that, I think I would have been almost as, if not equally, satisfied with a black rally striped white Camaro.

It just comes down to personal preference.

Stay away from black.

I want to keep them as "few and far between" as possible.

I've had a black '10 for a year and a half. Yes, have to wash it quite a bit, but i like it a lot. Not too much trouble to just dust it off evry day when you get home (mine's a daily driver) and i wax it by hand at least twice a year. Still not too bad though. -a consideration could be to get a black one and have it painted flat black. Might not take as much work/maintenance. Not sure though. -by the way, i saw an all flat black camaro and it looked soooo good! Wish i had done that with mine actually.

Can't agree more.

The Camaro black is the best looking color. Black is faster too.

Archias · 02-08-2011, 11:04 AM

it will drive you absolutely insane, but when you get it just right its completely worth it. Then it rains, and you

Moni · 02-08-2011, 11:23 AM

I have black and wouldn't change a thing. I hand wash it every weekend. No matter what color you get you still should wash it regularly for good clear coat and paint health.

I will never own a black car again, EVER!

go to car shows, the other car owners are mingling and having a great time. The owners of black cars are walking around their car with a car duster every 5 minutes.

Walk up to a black car in the sun and you are greeted with unsightly swirls. :( You gonna be spending a lot of time polishing and waxing to keep the surface looking like any other color. There are better things to do with that time.

It's my first choice. I've had several black cars and prefer the color.
