I'm the first to complain that there isn't enough color on the roads

But I’m also full of shit

My excuse:

First off: 3 of those are my parent’s.

They chose the silver Partner because silver is an easy color to live with. Meh.

The Crossgolf cost 1000€, which was too good of a price to say no.

Almost all 505s are silver. Those are 2 shades of silver by the way, one being more beige (I know).

The Pajero was a father-son project. Also: black first gen Pajeros are quite rare actually.

As for the 208, good price, and my neighbor still has the red one I sold him last year :)

In your defense, the only actual colour that looks good on the 208 is red, and you already had that one :p

I’m the same though, I would love to see more colour on the road, yet I drive a white car (although according to its papers it’s yellow). I tried convincing my dad to get a dark blue or dark red 308, but he didn’t listen and got a blue-ish gray one...

Yeah com’on, atleast have the decency to repaint a silver car red before you complain! (but also don’t, cause it’s quite a bit of work)

mhhhm, fresh paint....

The red one is still parked on the sidewalk across the street, I’d have gone with red otherwise :)

I really like them in blue too, but nobody seems to buy them.

Also, I think the only available colors on the GTI are black, silver, white, red and blue. With 90% being black, white or red.

Anything you can photograph in black and white without a noticeable difference isn’t a color :)

Was this the Escort that used to have red nose while the rest was silver?

My Jeep is silver. I lust over a solar yellow one that is up the road.

Did you purchase any of these brand new? Those would be the problem.

But in the past I had Red, Yellow, and Blue too! I still have 2 Blue cars actually. I also briefly had a blue-purple pearl effect colored car. It looked terrible.

Come to think of it, I need a green car

I pretty much take what’s available, if the price is right, I can overlook the paint

I always happy to see yellow cars on the road

Most of those cars got their paint before I had my license :)

3 of those are around 30, 1 is about 20, 1 is 10, and 1 is 3 years old.

The Grom and S3 I bought new so I had a choice, the M3 and the Ranger just happened to be the ones that fit my budget at the time I was ready to buy. If I had my choice on the ranger I would have gone for green.

I did not realize the VW was that old.

Both cars I’ve owned have been dark blue. The 1st one I chose the 2nd one it was the car I could afford.

They have been built from 2005 to 2014, this one is from 2007.

Color is mostly a luxury when looking for a car
