The exterior of my car was basically destroyed by a horrible act of vandalism. This was the third time it has been vandalized (in 3 months ... in 3 different states no less). Anyway, I'm hoping that black will be more subtle than pearl white (attract less attention). Also, my pearl white was more yellowed than most I see ... made it kind of look constantly dirty if you ask me. I liked it okay, but deep down I longed for another black car (like my previous Z). I thought about other colors, but black just makes sense ... you can't go wrong with it. I'm not a fan of obnoxiously bright cars either (like ferrari yellow). Some people like that ... I'm just not one of those people.
