Right after you clean it

My one friend's dad always says, "black is a 15 foot color."

Whether it's clean or dirty, 15 feet away, it looks great. Closer than that, clean or dirty, it looks like shit.

Coincidentally, the wagon is freakin black....

As a current black car owner, I concur.

I wouldn't have picked black as my first choice, but it was a rare car and sitting on the dealer's lot. So I went for it.

I don't regret the choice, but yeah, it's a pain to keep clean.

mine remains in that semi dirty state until that one half day.

My reaction when I see dust on my freshly-washed black car.

It's got to the point where I have to decide if I'm just not going to wash my car anymore...

I've become very good at quickly washing my car...

When it's clean, I'd have almost no color over black.

The other 99% of the time? Never. Again.

Another fun thing about black cars:

Useful when your oven is broken.

Guess the color of mine......

Although I'm the moron who is basically OCD and yet also has a black daily, do not ask me what I was thinking.

I've had a few black vehicles. My Tundra had to live outside, so that poor vehicle was permanently dirty even though I was pretty diligent about detailing. The ST is also black, but the metallic in it is so vibrant that it actually helps mask dirt a bit better. My wife's dark blue GC is as bad as black.

I can't say I won't have another black car, but odds are, I'll try and get something different after having 2 black vehicles in a row.
