Go for the Saleen S7, only 395k!

I think silver is the best color.

I agree, silver by far is the easiest to maintain. (Technically, i'd say white, but I think Silver cars look WAY better) Sorry all you guys out there with white cars.

A nice white/blue theme is actually quite stunning IMHO...

My car is 9 years old and I swear the paint looks as good now as it did when it was new, if not better thanks to ZAINO.

Pewter is the easiest to maintain.. never looks dirty, which by the way is why GM offers that darn color on almost everything they make

Silver would be easy also..

White hides imperfections best.

A dark silver, like pewter is easy to maintain. swirls are hard as hell to see, and the dust blends in.

My wife has a '98 GMC Jimmy, painted dark met. blue. I have a 2K T/A, which is Pewter Met. (see sig). We both work at the same place, and drive the same route, same amount of miles. If we wash both vehicles on Sunday, Her truck is looking dirty by Thursday, while mine still as looks clean as it was on Sun. Pewter/Silver/Mineral Gray metallic type colors are the best!
