Hot Lava or GTFO

If you go lava you can join Team Lava. But if you get white your only option is Team White Pwr and no body likes those guys...

Seriously, why would you look at anything else?

90% of cars around are white, black or silver, roads look like funeral processions. Better get red, blue or lava.

White is the absolute worst color for a car. It reminds me of work vans plus they are hard to keep clean. If the dealer would've had Asphalt,that would've been the color that I would've gotten,but the Hot Lava on the lot looked almost like copper,so I went with that.

Either way,it's your money,get whatever YOU like.

You must have never owned a white car, white cars do not show dirt anywhere near as much as the darker coloured cars.

Yep, white looks decent from a distance even when dirty. This pic was on day 2 of a track weekend when the car hadn't been washed in like 2 weeks.

Nope,never have and never will. Aside from the issue of if they are hard to keep clean or not,I just think they generally look kind of lame,like they are a taxi or delivery vehicle.I've only seen a couple of white cars that I wouldn't mind owning.

One thing I will say though is that with neutral colors like white,black and silver,you have way more options of colors for wheels,lugs,or any other accents.

That's probably the worst thing about owning a Hot Lava. Orange and other colors besides black or white can be a hard sell. Not impossible,but somewhat hard. Orange and blue works,but I don't want to look like I'm representing the Bears or Broncos.I'm going with black and dark grey to accent my Hot Lava.

My first choice was white and would have never considered a silver car because I hate silver. Then I saw how good silver looks on the 86 and it grew on me. Went with argento because white is so common (I see more white and 10 series in my area than I do Argento), and it looks so good when washed and waxed.
