why be boring? Plus with this vinyl it really only shows the colors under "Full Sun". Even part shade and its mostly silver/grey. which is more stealthy than the bright red it was before.
Partly a joke.

I enjoy breaking the law in a car that does not attract attention or is memorable to people who see me do it. It's not a boring car, no matter what the color.

Depending on lighting I drive a bright orange/gold/deep red/brownish car now so a grey one that pops in the sun would not be all that different really.
Won't surprise anybody that I have a bit of a "look at me" trait in my personality. I also get people staring and yelling "nice car" every day.
I DON'T drive a boring looking-white car for a reason. I don't think the cops pay any more attention to me that they would in white. When they come up behind me to run my plates and they come back as an old guy with a clean record they just go away.

Me too. Part of that is my car does not stand out. I'm just another car (I hope) at that point.

There's a similar one running around San Jose, CA. Not sure it's quite as attractive as the OP's. It is quite striking to see in person.

I admit to a little eye rolling. If memory serves the car itself was a little rough looking.

Yep. I told someone once, you can't really be an introvert and drive a bright freaking orange car.

I'm a loudmouth redhead. So is my FR-S
