Ok folks, I might become homeless soon, but at least i'll be homeless with CLASS!


So if you all remember i ordered a rig few months back. Today i got a call back, dealer said that for my order its going to take another month or 2 but they just got a car in that is exactly what i want, only different color.

So vote, should i get a "black armor" (dark dark gray) now or white in several months.



I am also keeping in mind that my jeep does not have much life left in it, but you are only voting on a color!

Grey will show less dirt, but more salt, and it will be hotter in the summer when you get in the car.

White will show more dirt, less salt.

I would go grey, it looks a lot more bad***.

I like grey. Almost everything that I've ever had that was really nice and that I really liked has been sparkle grey. My '81 Firebird, My Ibanez EDB605, My '02 Durango. So, for me, the answer is easy. Sparkle grey.

I am not worried about that, I'll put Japanese stickers on the car which will add at least 5hp per sticker.

Either one works. Can you finagle a discount on the grey?

They both look good. I guess it depends if you can wait for the white.

I'd wait, but then again, my HHR isn't about to die.

Yeah, I kinda don't want to be a douche who tries to get a discount for every single small thing. The thing is i really like way grey look on the road but like some said it'll show more scratches.

But the whole jeep is about to stop running park freaks me out a bit.

Go for the grey. I think there are more white cars on the road than any other.

Gray cars are involved in the highest number of accidents, though.

I can totally vouch for this. I had two gray cars and they were both in over 20 wrecks, most of which were not my fault.

I would go with the black. The color white is so plain. I think black looks cooler.

You live in California. You'd better get the white one because the California Air Resources Board probably won't let you keep the dark gray one if you get it.

Unreal! You can feel the what's left of the state's sanity slipping away.
