So where do you live and which meets are you going to attend? You have to see some of these peoples cars. It gives you great ideas for your own.

Silver Surfer!

2006 Silver/Black Interior (UNcursed Version ) LOL. GT-Appearance-Spoiler-Rotary Accent Package. With 50 miles on the odometer. Final price OTD $28,500. From Browning Mazda of Cerritos, CA. The guys there were easy to deal with. I originally wanted a Galaxy Gray but I was getting a great deal already, and I was tired of looking for one. So when I made the decision, I had to pick either the one I bought, or a Phantom Blue Touring package with Appearance, Spoiler, Rotary Accent package. I couldn't picture mysel in the Phantom Blue so SILVER was the one =).

actually silver has less ingredients than black and the ingredients are lighter by volume- so a silver car weighs less than a black car of the same make and is therefor faster

Awesome.

Actually that must be why there are more accidents with the silver -- all that extra speed is too much for people to handle.
