Is a cop really going to miss a '10 Camaro going 110 just because it happens to be black?
Not a fact at all, but your opinion. What you call boring someone who bought silver might call classical elegance, and your orange garish. Nor do many people think the paint job is the only thing that matters in determining if a car is boring or not.
Either the co-worker or the op didn't clarify if they meant ANY silver car, or just the color silver itself. I would think if the op was that concerned about her opinion, he would've said, "Yeah, she said it was a hot car but the silver was boring..." or something of that nature if it was the case.
You know the SOLE reason a color sells? Somebody give this guy a job in marketing. 
So you're saying originally you just wanted to go undetected by the cops, since you were going w/ black?
Oh, and last I looked, the orange Camaro was the second-best selling color. |
Didn't you see where I said people have a stigma of thinking brighter cars attract the cops more? Don't act like you have never heard that saying before and just because someone buys a camaro doesn't mean they aren't thinking about that stigma in the back of their head and choose a different color. Some people claim to have been pulled over in a car becasuse of the color when the police clocked someone else but pulled them over since they had the car that looked fast.
Look all I'm saying is silver white and black are boring. Just cause its classic and or whatever doesn't mean its not boring. As far as the orange being the second best seller, yes its true but just wait until this car has been on the market for over a year and then some when they are just sitting on lots. You will see the basic black, silver, yellow and red outpace all other colors.
In in essence yes I didn't want all the attention that comes with a bright color that stands out, but then I said performance cars are meant to stand out.
