Another accident.. I hate crappy drivers.
haha no sir
it's not my fault though There have been no conclusive studies done but it has been long known that dark color cars and particularly black cars get hit more often than light color cars. Here is a web page with information from Daimler Benz on car color that I remember being in the Mercedes owner magazine In Aller Welt about 40 years ago: http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/fas...e-colours.html
Black is at the bottom of the chart as being a conspicuous color.
My wife once bought a new 1983 Honda Accord. It was dark red/burgandy -- a color with the same low 4% rating as the color black. Her Honda was hit from all directions over and over and over. I even mounted a set of Hella high mounted stop lights in the rear window of her car several years before high mounted stop lights were required in the U.S.
It was as if her dark red Honda was cursed. We usually keep cars longer but we sold it after 3 years.
My wife has now driven her white 1998 Toyota Camry 12 years without being hit one single time. White is rated by Daimler Benz as being the most conspicuous color.
I've been driving white Lexus LS cars since early 1990. I wish I could say that they never been hit but at least it's been always in the back end while I've been at a dead stop in traffic and its usually been people talking on cell phones.
I think I'm a careful driver -- haven't hit another car in over 43 years of driving. The closest call I ever had was only a few weeks ago in a grocery store parking lot when I pulled out in front of a car I didn't see. The driver swerved, blasted his horn and barely missed me. It was a black car.

not identical.. still fraternal though. lol
maybe...
Guys I think I'm gonna become an independent cop. LOl
anyway yea I got some looks today hahah, pretty sure I scared a couple people. It looks pretty cool when I walk up to it in a parking lot haha but NO I will not leave it this way. I'm afraid some people might think I'm doing it on purpose like a 2-tone job or something
ANYWAY, for those of you who know about the Sharpie Art Lambo or that one 2IS, I will be drawing on my door with sharpie lol and letting my friends draw on it. If any local members want to come by and tag it feel free haha.
I may have to leave it like this for a month so why not have fun with it??
