We bought a black car, and the thought process that lead to it was not 'this won't get us a speeding ticket', it was 'This looks bad-ass, like Darth Vader'.

Not 'classic' or 'refined'. Bad-ass. Like Darth Vader. Or an SR-71.

I can't even imagine thinking, "This black CAMARO won't get us a speeding ticket, that's it, I'm sold!"

IMO, Black is the only color for cars, motorcycles, and guitars.

But, my opinion doesn't matter and that's why they make lots of colors. There are only two colors that I really don't like and silver isn't one of them.

Seriously, forget what all these people are saying. You aren't buying the car for your coworker or anyone else here. You're buying it for yourself. If you feel like the car is a boring color, get another colored one. If you don't get the SIM. I understand how you feel. You had a car all locked up with your choices and someone told you they were the wrong choices and now you are second guessing yourself and wondering if you'll regret the SIM. If later on you dislike the color, get a paint job. It's a camaro. The only thing you'll be regretting is that you have to stop enjoying it when the gas runs out. And even when filling it up at the pump, you'll still be enjoying it a little.

This is not boring.

Sevn86 · 12-03-2009, 11:37 PM

i think on this car u should get something other then silver and black....they are too common with all other makes and models...go with something bright like red yellow or orange...or if thats too bright go with white...

Exactly what I thought when I decided I wanted black.

I just put on a few coats of wax over the past couple days... I'll take some pictures tomorrow and show why black is godly.

Silver is a great color! Especially with black stripes!

Black is def not boring but I do see too many black cars and 10 camaros...because of this im considering IOM again...I saw it at the dealer few days ago and loved it. All 10s look good but im not a fan of silver. I was shocked at how beautiful white is on this car...I could never keep it clean but to those of you that do right on.
