The red hood.



No red, lots of black and my ugly mug.

Here is a black C3 that I love. If I ever build a chrome bumper it will look like this.

You can't be negligent with it. In other words would I say it's OK to leave it out in the sun after it drizzles or rains? No. If you have it garaged 99% of the time you won't have any issues. I'm sure there will be guys on here saying they have a black car as a dd that they don't have problems with, but to keep your life simple, if you have a garage to keep it in i'd say you shouldn't have anything to worry about. You just have to use some common sense on how you take care of it. NOTHING looks as good as a black car when it's clean. NOTHING.

I thought I wanted to get a C2, but now looking at all these sweet C3's, I'm confused. Maybe I need a bigger garage!

Yep. That would be my car. My buddy called me and told me it was in Corvette Fever. I had no idea. Thanks for noticing.

I love all colors on a vette, but nothing shows a reflection like black
