I’d like to have some Opponauts take my survey about car color choices.
For my current mathematics class I have to conduct a small statistical survey, very basic. My thoughts turned to always helpful Oppo and CL. The survey is 5 questions, 1 with multiple answer options and 4 yes/no and it will only take 5 minutes.
I will reward everyone with a dump of all my HD computer wallpapers, cars and the others (all SFW), in a few days when the project is done and data sorted through. I greatly appreciate anyone takes a little time to do this for me!

Here are a few wallpapers to start. I’m currently rocking the Dakar(?) Mini.

Finished. Good luck with your project!

“The survey is 5 questions, 1 with multiple answer options and 4 yes/no and it will only take .”
Will only take what? Five minutes? A tooth?
What little remains of my dignity?

You forgot:
“What is the best color for a car?”
(Spoiler alert: It’s white.)

Done. Easy.

Re getting the colour I wanted, I answered no. However, that's because I hadn't seen one in this colour before. And_it_is_awesome_and_only_getting_more_awesome.

i went with my car just sold, since my current car in non-existant. I got a black cuz it was the only one on the lot (and my wife didn;t agree to world rally blue) i didn;t care at the time, but i ended up not liking it. My next car, i think will be an FJ62 which are fairly hard to come by and will end up being the color of what ever pops up. i probably wont like that color either. in fact, i’ve never really been too excited over any of the colors i’ve owned.

I don't disagree, except for when it comes to the WRX.

It took about as long to type that period as it does to take the survey. And only a tiny shred of dignity.

If by car you mean washing machine.

For you CB, it’ll take 2 teeth of your choice and one of those tiny ear bones.
When I was adding the photos, Kinja shoved one in place of “5 minutes” and I hadn't caught it. Fixed.

Done. I have the confusing combination of colour factoring into my decision and not getting the colour I wanted. Wanted blue, ended up choosing between black and silver, bought black.

Sad that the WRX had to go, maybe you can get another someday if you so desire. An fj62 would be pretty cool, turn it into an overland rig? If you don’t like the color, you can always repaint or wrap.

I was in the exact same boat when I bought the Dart. Wanted blue and had to choose black or silver.
I wanted to get a Regal Turbo/GS or Pontiac G8 but both were out of budget for different reasons, wouldn't have cared about color on those.

Thanks!

Well, if it’ll take two teeth of my choice and one of those tiny ear bones, then they’re going to be yours. Hey, you didn’t say they had to be mine .
Besides, I already left my smartass comments in your questionnaire.

I did not specify, the source is up to you.
I’ll check it out soon, haha.

Done. There should be a “Maybe” option for “Will color affect your next purchase”, because that’s highly subjective. For example, I have decided I will never own another black car, unless it’s another E28 M5, because that’s the only color I can have it in. If I was shopping for some other car, I’d pick any color but black, so it would factor into my decision in that way.

D0ne. And I was honest too.
![]() 10/28/2015 at 16:22 |

Done, I put beige as my write in.
![]() 10/28/2015 at 16:25 |
|
Just looked at responses and I’m pretty sure I know which write in is yours, does it have something to do with spelling? The correct spelling?
![]() 10/28/2015 at 16:26 |

Wasn’t sure whether to put in beige, until now.
![]() 10/28/2015 at 16:26 |

No black, silver, white, or tan cars ever for me. Too common too dull.

It’s all anonymous, honesty is appreciated even if it isn’t required.

This whole survey is very simple, I didn’t want more data than necessary. If I ever reuse and expand it, you can be sure that there will be many more answer options.

Done. Also, first comment on oppo. Wooo!

I am very particular about my spellings. My mum’s car, by the way.

Post the results!

Thanks and welcome to Oppo! Has anyone shown you the rules and what not?
![]() 10/28/2015 at 17:17 |

I will, probably tonight or tomorrow after the overwhelming and quick turn up of results.
![]() 10/28/2015 at 17:23 |

I’ve seen survey results like this in news articles, but I always almost don’t care because I don’t know who they’re asking. I’m seriously interested in the overall thoughts of fellow Opponauts.

Should I take it twice if I have two cars?
![]() 10/28/2015 at 17:24 |

I heartily disagree. I’ve only crashed White cars, don’t know why or what is up with that but ever since 2000 I refuse to own and (mostly) operate anything white. Thus far: no accidents.

I’ve seen it both ways by the way, never been too sure on which is correct or if both are.
![]() 10/28/2015 at 17:28 |

The way I had it described (thanks, Internet!) is E for England and A for America. I like to use E for Eh.

I mean once is enough, but if you want to go ahead. I think I enabled it to only accept results from an IP address once.

So technically both are correct, I love the English language so much.

I guess it depends where you live. I went to high school with one of my roommates, who’s from North Carolina. He adamantly refused to use Canadian spellings of words, like “cheque” and “colour”, as an act of protest.

Actually, I’m ashamed to say but I have been lurking for several years now. I just now decided to get around to creating a profile. I am not real familiar with how being gray to start with works but other than that I think I know the rules. I am all for making sure I do right by here though so please feel free to enlighten me!

Would love to. I saw a jeep painted with that truck bed stuff and right that looked cool

I was the same way before I started commenting around here. Gray basically means your comments are filtered out until someone responds to you on a specific posts (like now) or you are approved by one of the mods to comment on anything and are checked to be a real person. I can let one of the mods know to link you everything, rules and community guidelines and ungray you for comments.

Thanks! I am on here pretty much every day so that would be great. I figured now is just as good of a time than ever to release another car nut into the oppo world!

I’ll see who I can find and let them know. Gamecat is a good one to go to, he also wrote the linked post.

I’ve seen a couple of vehicles with the bedliner paint job and it was pretty sweet.

Sounds good. Thanks for being so helpful. One reason I come here so often is because of the people. Seems like a good group overall.

Done, I enjoyed it

I suspect that Oppo will burn me at the stake for my choices (aka white and saying it was what I liked).

White cars are good. Z06, 911, Carrera, etc

Oh, we have a differing opinion on this. Like, Tea Party vs. Liberals levels of disagreement

What if we own 2?

I know. I was just making a point that the question could have used a followup.

Gotcha. This little survey is just that, little. If I ever use something like this survey again I’ll be expanding and fleshing it out more.

Well that’s an opinion. It's wrong, but an opinion none the less
