G8rboy - how'd you get that good of a gloss? The paint almost looks liquid.

I think black is the best color... I only wished it was metallic paint, because scratches are so easy to get!

Here's mine:

I got one. But it is the first and last time I buy a black car. It sucks to maintain these black beauties clean.

I've owned nothing but black cars for nearly 20 years.
There is nothing more beautiful and the work required is not overwhelming once you stop working against yourself and adopt the proper techniques.

This is my second black car. Everyone said I'd hate it when I bought the first one and they were sooooo wrong!!!!! I don't find it hard to keep clean. Just wash it once a week-ish and you'll be fine. !!! The only bad thing is any little dent looks like the grand canyon!!!!
