Which part of LA are you from? Ive only seen one other 40th on the 5s merging onto the 134. Maybe I am the other 40th youve seen.

^^ I agree. Have been all over the east coast and still have not seen one in person yet.

I'm a blue freak, so that's what I went with. Everyone mentions that's it's the most unique blue they have seen. Just thought the other colors were too "everyday".

Still have only seen 2-3 in town. Black, red, and silver. All 45-60y/o owners. All completely bone stock.

I'll enjoy being the only MB and modded in town for the time being.

I see a lot of Monterrey Blue's around here. Surprisingly there are not that many red ones (probably because red sucks). Black is probably the most popular in this area, followed by PG/Silver then MB/White.

All 370's look good no matter what color,well almost.
Though i have seen a couple of mustangs with a color that looks a lot
like the M Blue which looks like crap IMHO on the mustang. I'm not a mustang
hater by hell than in every driveway in Texas.Plus here most guys that drive a mustang thing there cars are the greatest. You can hardly pull up next to one without them wanting to race. I just laugh it off.

I couldn't make up my mind on color so I tried to get a custom paint job of all of the colors mixed together but they said 'poop brown' wasn't available. So i got black. I swear, if they make Poop Brown in MY2011, i am going to be so pissed.

I very, very rarely see 370s. I used to see a silver one on my way to my last job, but I started a new job 3 months ago and have only seen 1 red one on the road in those 3 months.

It's funny. Black Cherry will be "rare" enough as it is, since it's a custom color, but because of the nature of the thing, if you see one in dark lighting, or if it's dirty, you'll probably mistake it for metallic black at first glance.

In fact, very few people notice right away that mine isn't just black. It's like a delayed reaction. We'll be talking for a few minutes and I'll hear, "HEY, is there like a maroon undertone or something? Or a brown flake?"

It's what I love about the color.
