White was my first choice. The white with red is classic.

I prefer contrasting colors/shades/tints on a car, I've carried the white/black theme throughout the entire car, I think it looks very "clean". But, there are some cars that call out for color, the C5 is best in blue or maroon.

It is my first choice on some cars, but not the vette. In fact, it would be my last choice in most cases.

I think white is a very nice "clean" looking color. However, white is hard to keep clean. I've had two white Maxima's, one I still have and now we have a white Infiniti. I think they all look great, but they just get so dirty so fast and really seem to show every little blemish. When I was looking to buy a Vette, I took a look at a white one. My wife immediately said, "not another white car!" That was really her only stipulation on the Vette purchase - that I can live with.

Personally, I don't think white is all that hard to keep clean. I bought white because I think they are easier....but whatever. I have a white Bonneville SSEi (wife's car) and one stipulation she had was it had to be white. Funny how it all works out.

Triple White 35th for me. It gets a shower almost as much as I do.

Mine is white with red interior. I loved this color combo before I had the car. I have owned several white cars and love the white/red. It is work to make it pop, but can be done and it will look milky white gloss when done well with brilliant highlights.

On the page that this was on, right click the picture.
Then choose properties.
Across from "Address:" is a link, which in this case was: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/phot...0/DSCF1470.JPG
Highlight that, right click and choose copy.
Go to a post and choose to insert an image; which is the gray and yellow button with the mountain and sun.
Now click both the "Ctrl" and "v" keys. This will paste it into the box.
Click the OK button on that box.
