    Maybe someday you'll get past caring what others think so much. You'll enjoy life more when you do......... ;)

    The flip side is the white shows little in the way of scratches and swirl marks

    There were only 2 colors on my list....white or silver. 2 very low maintenance, easy colors to deal with. They're also cooler in hot weather and look great in IMHO.

    But the Inferno and Quick Sand of the G3 rigs might sway me if something happened to my current rig. :D

    It's only rare occasions that I have to back a short trailer a long way and it's typically a straight line if I can set myself up properly. I can back a small trailer in 2wd anywhere, I just don't like riding/working the clutch that much.

    Dark blues are ugly. Have no idea why any cars are made in that color.

    White is the cheapest and easiest color to fix damage on. It is also the best color to detail and keep nice. It hides swirls and scratches very well.

    Silver is the most expensive color and one of the hardest colors to fix paint damage on. Silver also never looks good from a detailing perspective. It seems to always look dull.
