Black is the last color I want on a vehicle.

I'll admit, it looks great when it's clean, but it's hard to keep clean.

But the main reason I don't want black, I live in a desert. Red is hot enough.

If we don't get any days above 115 I'll be impressed. We usually have several days over 110 degrees in the summer.

Cool thing about that is... when you are at a stop light and look down at the pavement you can see the tar melting under the gravel and seeping to the surface. Road surface is usually over 150 degrees. I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop.
