Not sure who decided it would be a good idea to post nothing but yellow cars all day, but this was basically my reaction to the bleeding retina inducing wall of exploded highlighter paint jobs that greeted me when I got back from lunch.
With a side of
Seriously, I fail to understand the love affair that some people have with bright yellow vehicles. It has never, IMO, been attractive or flattering on any vehicle ever as a primary color. Sure it's been used tastefully as a trim color to accentuate certain design elements, or to give a burst of color to an otherwise dark color scheme.....but slathering the whole damn car in the stuff? It just screams to me that the owner is the type of person that HAS to be the center of attention anywhere they go. If you feel the need for a bright color, why not go with a bright red, green, blue, or hell even certain shades of orange are fine and don't induce migraines and epileptic seizures in folks when you drive past or cause spontaneous combustion of their eyeballs. All this said, I realize that taste is subjective, and that we are all entitled to our own wrong opinion, but holy hell the only way you could get your car painted with a more obnoxious color would be moving up to neon dayglow pink (I'm not counting chrome since it's not really a color, more just idiocy and tastelessness distilled into a vinyl wrap, nor animal prints, ect since those are so far into the realm of hideous that they come out hilarious). Anyways, back to your regularly scheduled yellowness.

Go back to your excellent beer tastes (nice avatar) and weird aesthetic preferences that I completely agree with.
(Excepting certain Volvo's, Porsche's and my long standing belief that the Pantera looks good in any color).

I fear I started it, but it may have gotten a bit out of hand. OTOH, I would disagree with yellow being necessarily suckass - a lot of factory yellows (like Jag banana) look quite good to me, and aren't neon. Others tend toward an orange and fit the character of the car. Ordinary PMY is usually not the best, agreed.

My lack of understanding for why people find yellow to be an attractive color on a car is rivaled only by my general apathy about the matter. It may not make any sense to you or me, but hey, it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round.
People like what they like. Let it be.

There are certain cars that can look good in spite of a yellow paintjob, I would agree that Pantera is one of them, but IMO no car has ever looked it's best in yellow and for most it more or less ruins the car for me.

Yellow is like David Tennants acting skills. Actually, that would be nonexistent paint. Nevermind.

To each their own, and as I said in the post, taste is completely subjective. Honestly if we all liked the same things, life would be damn boring.

Those poor, poor cars....Though I do have to wonder if they cause cars parked next to them to melt when parked in the sun like that building in London.

I see no scenario where the sun would reflect off strong enough to a car nearby to cause damage.

Fair enough. It was mainly being gone for 30 min or so and coming back to a wall of yellow cars and nothing but that cause the reaction more than anything else.

Yeah, I'm pretty well aware that it could never happen unless you had a concave surface on the car and had everything set up just right. The comment was entirely in jest.
