    I love black. Most of my cars are black. Is the main reason Taco owners lean towards white and silver is because they don't show scratches as bad? Is that the logic behind the lighter colors?

    For those that have had black, is it really bad or something? Want to make sure I know what I'm getting. I don't plan on doing a lot of ORing

    Thanks,
    Blind

    I've got white because...

    1.) I think it looks good
    2.) It looks clean even when it's not
    3.) Doesn't show every scratch
    4.) Stays cooler in the sun
