What Color Taco....

PhoenixCadet · 09-01-2008, 11:41 PM

I've been trying to decide on what color I get my Taco in when the time comes. It's going to be at least two months still 'till I'm able to finalize a decision on one due to a job (or, in my case, a lack-thereof a job). I've been waiting for this pretty decent paying Navy internship, and got word from several people (my father included) that they won't be hiring new interns 'till October (which is when their new budget comes in). When they do start hiring, though, I'm one of the first on the list (if not THE first) due to many factors (mainly, my non-fulltime student schedule).

When I do get my Taco - I want to be damn sure of every detail, so I don't spend time at the dealer "Uhhhh, I'll take this, no, that, uh, no, wait..." doing that.

The last thing I need to decide on is the color. These are the ones that I'm most interested in, but can't decide, for the life of me, which one I like better. I'm torn. I need help.

Silver Streak Mica
Black Sand Pearl
Magnetic Grey Metallic
Indigo Ink Pearl (if, by chance, I can find an '08)

Which should I go with?

you should make a public poll for this man.

my vote is the magnetic gray metallic!!! friggin badass color, and if they would have had it in 06 when i got my silverstreak......i would have gotten it instead!!!

socalman22 · 09-01-2008, 11:47 PM

+1 On the poll But for me BSP!

Silver is the easiest to maintain. I have not washed mine in months, the only reason you'd know its dirty right now is because I have mud/sand splattered all over it, otherwise it looks pretty clean even when its not.

Magnetic Grey

I would've made it a poll, but I don't know how...

socalman22 · 09-01-2008, 11:58 PM

On the bottom of when you start a new thread there an option to start a poll.

So I'd have to make an entirely new thread, then? 'Cause it's not showin' up when I click edit, then advanced.

MikeS. · 09-02-2008, 12:08 AM

Go for the grey, everybody has silver. Well it seems like.

socalman22 · 09-02-2008, 12:28 AM

See if a mod can do it?

Please, anyone? The colors are all listed there.

Thanks!

Killer Red Taco · 09-02-2008, 03:06 AM

I like RED, and I really like killer red.

As you can see the camera has a hard time with the killer red.

tacoma08MZ · 09-02-2008, 04:54 AM

go with the grey man, i wish i would have waited for the 09's that would have been my color choice

MurphMan · 09-02-2008, 05:16 AM

I went silver only because black is so hard to keep clean - anything shows up and looks horrible. Living in New England where weather is fickled, silver has been great! I'd love the black but don't want to spend all my time cleaning it.

Good luck with your decisions.

Magnetic Grey all the way

Hot Tamale · 09-02-2008, 07:08 AM

Depends on how much time you spend keeping it clean. We all know black is a bugger to keep clean, but boy does it look good. Personally, I think I'd go for the grey, it's a good looking color.

TacoCo · 09-02-2008, 08:41 AM

I love my magnetic gray metallic...

TexasJay · 09-02-2008, 09:12 AM

If your going to keep living in Arizona I would look for white. I live in Texas and have been converted to white vehicles. The color never goes out of style, doesn't show dust, and stays cool in the intense heat.

PatHLC128 · 09-02-2008, 09:17 AM

gray, its a big reason i spent more on the 09...
