    When I first saw this thread this morning without my first cup of coffee I thought the titles was "Magnetic Grey Whale" and I figured someone was talking about OZ's truck.

    MGM is sexy, but nothing beats SW.

    Stock for now.
    personally I like white cars in generally,but wwe ended up.getting an MGM.

    IMO its easier to take care of a white car as it ages...darker colors tend to show dry water spots and scratches more :/

    This....^^^....

    + Talk to any body shop guy worth his weight and he will tell you white hides scratches, dirt, and dents far better then ANY other color. It's a fact.

    Wut? It's physically impossible for white to look as dirty as dark colors. You guys need to get off the pot.

    White paint is usually harder then darker colors or so I was told.
