Vroom Vroom...

I like cars. I know I'm going against the majority of my half of the species by saying that, but it's true. I guess it didn't really start until a couple years ago when my brother got his El Camino. I learned a lot more than I already knew from him. Yes, I know, I learned from my younger brother. I'll get to the point of this post. I was walking to my class on the other side of campus (that ended up being cancelled grrr...) and I was thinking along the way, which I tend to do. I was thinking about the colors of cars. Specifically sports cars and old muscle cars and the colors that fit them.

Newer sports cars like the RX-8, Porsches, new 'Vettes and BMW's look better in a silver, black or Titanium grey (for Nagi). Sometimes red is ok, but very rarely. Yellow and blue should NEVER go on a modern sports car. There are exceptions to the yellow rule, but only on 'Vettes and Lamborghinis. Red is ok on those two also.

Now, on the opposite side of things, old muscle cars look better in the brighter colors. I dunno why, they just do. Red is awesome on old Camaros and Vette's, and yellow looks good on old trucks. Blue however, is reserved for Novas and Chevelles. Not just any old blue, electric blue. Think about an old Nova. What color is it? Blue. That's what I thought.

There's more to my car thoughts, but a.) I dunno how to put the thoughts into words b.) There are exceptions to both of the above rules c.) I'm too lazy to type anymore :)
