It's been raining for what feels like weeks and this was the first weekend it didn't rain in a long time. So, being the car nut that I am, I layered up, sucked it up and washed and dried both my A4 and wife's Maxima in the driveway. I was supprised the hose wasn't frozen solid.

Default Nice

Sigh I need to organize the garage this summer.

My car hasn't been washed since early November.

Default Totally Agree, Quartz rocks...I have a theory on what color to get on a new car...

It was c-c-c-c-cold, but I feel SO much better now that the cars are clean.

I have a theory on what color to get for any given car.

1) If you have a favorite color, and the car you want is available in that color, get it.

2) If you luck up on a really sweet deal on a specific car, and you don't dislike the color, get it.

3) But, if you are ordering and can get any color and you're not really sure what color to get, look at the car ads. What color is 'your' car in the brochures/magazine ads/ tv ads, etc. Manifacturers have teams of experts who decide what color looks best for a specific model, so follow their lead.


Examples that come to mind:
Nissan Murrano was intoduced and all the ads showed the suv in a copper/orange color, I think that is the perfect color for that suv.

1997 A4 ads were mostly yellow or red cars, I got a black '97 A4 and really wished I had gotten red or yellow.

What color is the B7 in most ads? Quartz grey.

that's my 2ct.
