I keep walking up to the wrong car in a parking lot. I drive a silver/gray Honda. I think I need a screaming yellow and green model that stands out.
I’ll learn to live with my Mary Kay pink Maybach as long as its a convertable. I’ll just have to make sure I always have a Barbie beside me in it.
The worst color for me is black. And I’d still drive a black car.
Once you go to multi-color, who knows. There’s certainly some gang patterns that’d put you in deep trouble in certain neighborhoods.
I’ll take the nicer car in whatever color.
I don’t really hate any car colors, but least favorite is Black —traps heat and shows dirt. And I don’t have a dream car. Give me something efficient with enough room for a few dogs.
I drive a Ford C-Max Plug-in. It’s a 2017 because the newer models had newer batteries and better safety features. However… my favorite car color was the 2013 C-Max’s Ice Storm Metallic. The 2013’s were the first US model year and had the most repair issues. But when I was car shopping and saw a listing for an Ice Storm Metallic model, I had to slap down my soaring heart.
I have in fact many times considered getting the most obnoxious paint job possible — fluorescent orange, say — specifically to make the car unmissable in a sea of other vehicles.
See, the aliens sold themselves short saying “color”. If they tried to give me a dream car wrapped into abhorrent political slogans or imagery, we’d have ourselves a thinkin’
(Actually, that would just be a “No”. I dunno, maybe a car wrapped in My Little Pony or something embarrassing but not outright soul-crushing)
Or tons of crazy political propaganda. I’m thinking of those cars you see from time to time where every non-glass surface seems to be covered in stickers or signs of some kind, usually proclaiming the end of the world, or America Is Ruined, or whatever.
Though a single (you know who) for president sticker would be enough to make me refuse the car.
Good thing the OP specified paint. How about a few coats of Mango Menace?
At least all those anime characters appear to be fully dressed. I won’t search or link, but I’ve been unfortunate enough to have seen some waifu wraps.
Me? I love my Fiat 500 but have never liked that it’s brown. It was the only stick shift they had. I got a custom license plate that said “coffee bean” (abbreviated) after I so dubbed it when purchasing, but that was me leaning into the joke.
I’ll take the great car in a crappy color with no hesitation. I don’t care what color my car is. Heck, I don’t even see my car most of the time, except for a few seconds a day when I’m walking towards it to drive it somewhere. Once I’m inside I’m not seeing anything except the hood and I don’t really notice the color while I’m driving.
Are we talking just the exterior, or the interior as well? If it’s just the exterior, I’d take a puke green colored dream car.
You know, I’m realizing the ugly color on my dream car might be big letters with…
I LOVE DONALD TRUMP!!
No problem. I’ll still sell it and have it repainted to the buyer’s satisfaction.
Exactly.
Ok, so I have to choose between my dream car, a Mclaren F1 (current value ~$15M) painted some ugly color that I can’t even see when I’m driving it
-OR-
a late-‘70s Pontiac Trans Am (current value ~$5K) with really good paint?
Seems like an easy call.
I had to scroll a bit in my search results until I found a picture I was comfortable sharing.
White is for refrigerators and washing machines. Not for cars.
My mom died a couple years ago, and I got… her white car. Certainly not a “Dream Car”, either, but very low miles and brand new tires.
I’ve been pricing Wraps…
Oh the car, provided I can paint it.
We have a friend that has a daughter that is somewhat of an artist. Last time I saw it, her car was plaid. Pretty cool really.
From a story a few years ago - Son complained that he could never recognize his mom’s car when she picked him up at school. It was your basic white jelly bean. It became a poka-dot jelly bean. Also pretty cool.
There is some color out now that is disgusting. It’s not beige, I swear it’s caucasian. It’s skin color (well for some of us).
If I can sell it, it’s obviously a no brainer, get a nice car and sell it. Presumably the new owners are not bound to keep the colour.
Assuming the “worst colour” is just one colour, (or a jarring tartan or something), and isn’t something truly objectionable like the Nazi flag I’d definitely take a good car in any colour and drive it rather than a crap car and drive it
Car color doesn’t matter to me. I’d take the great car in the lousy color and never think about it again.
A friend drives a car given to him by his employer free of charge. He pays for gas, oil, upkeep. The thing is the car is wrapped with the company’s design/logo. Hey, free car!!
