Default Pewter Metallic thread!

Of course, all vettes are awesome, but I love my (Light) Pewter Metallic because of how it sparkles in the sun, but seems a different shade in both clouds and at night. I also like how it doesn't show dirt easily. OH! And how it contrasts nicely with polished aluminums, etc, etc, etc,...

Why do YOU love your PEWTER METALLIC?!!

That was my favorite color, first choice but all the verts I located had black interior and that wouldn't work for me in the Florida sun so I went with white, my #2 choice with the tan leather

I like it because it just looks classy. And because I have one.
