Black vs White...I can't decide!!

Well statistically black cars get into more accidents than white cars. Me personally, I've been rear ended, t-boned in a black car. No problems on any other. However, there are more white cars than there are black cars. I'm pretty sure i dont have to tell u how hard it is to maintain black also

Yeah, but white gets more tickets... easier to pick up on the road. That being said the car looks awfully nice in Pearl White.

Easier to pick up?

In California, it's not legal for the CHP to use radar unless it's posted. They can use a plane (where posted) or "pace". White cars are more visible/easier for the eye to pick up than darker colors so more attention getting to law enforcement. It used to be that Red was #1 with White at #2, but that was a number of years ago (from traffic school). With more bright colors coming out over the last 10 years or so that may have changed.

they dont really use radar anymore, they use lazer, and can at anytime they want. dead accurate, and harder than ish to fight......
