Needless to say I have stayed away from red.

I've had a red vette, red trans am, red ssr, and others. I've gotten one speeding ticket, in a sunset orange vette.

I agree I have lived in the same town for 25 yrs. Not pulled over or one ticket until the red car. I guess what I'm saying is that my experience with red makes me shy away from it.

What ever color you choose you'll be in love. Variety is the spice of life. So just do it!!!!!!!! Then post pics.

The debate was color, if you want to debate what models of cars get more tickets, that's a whole different argument.

you'll regret black for sure when it rains

Shunya · 08-10-2009, 11:32 AM

Red is not a good color to keep new as well as black but it is slightly easier to keep than black

Get red. With Nissan's crappy clear coat, you'd be better off. My magnetic black paint already looks terrible in certain areas

yeah, it's really easy to impart scratches onto the clearcoat and it chips easily.
It's just a lot harder to see on the other colors other than black. If I would have known this now, would have got white.

Yeah, well it may not matter now. I cant even get the dealer to call me back, and according to someone else who i just spoke with they dont have any, so now I am wondering WTF is going on.
