so sgm is almost as labor heavy as black? I'm pretty sure i'm getting a lighter color car and was hoping someone w/ sgm could convince me that it doesn't show dirt as bad as other dark colors. am a big sgm fan but after coming from a black car didn't want to deal w/ the constant washing.

Wanted to post some pics here, had my SGM for about five months now, but cant really figure it out. Usually just have to upload a picture to or copy and past, now its asking for URL of picture?? Any help for posting pics...

In the mean time though, I decided to just link my cardomain site.
