Why does that make you cringe?

..I also have a 427 Cobra replica with an aluminum chassis.

white isn't my favorite color, especially not on a car that, in my opinion, should look pretty bad-ass. did you read the article/see the pics in the latest Star magazine? even in pictures of the wide-body you can hear the low rumble of the exhaust, making you hide in fear! jim b.'s is the same.

take a look at a full AMG converted 500SL from the 80's. The all black one says "watch out, darth vader is actually driving down the road and may run you down," while the all white one says "hey guys, just another miami vice weenie on the prowl for ladies, if you know what i mean..."

proof: 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL AMG (R107 Euro)

of course, don't get me wrong, i LOVE 80's music, 80's movies, and 80's cheese ball culture, enough so that my wife constantly makes fun of me for my jean jackets and ipod selection. but, the feeling is just so different when you see a black, green, or dark blue one vs. a white, tan, champagne, or brown one. my opinion of course...

I wonder how a W126 coupe with an M110/stick combo would be? I have the drivetrain..maybe I can come up with the shell....
