Good reasons for owning a Black Vette & getting together with other Black Vette Owners:
1. Discuss the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome you developed trying to keep it clean!
2. Stand around and watch the dust collect!
3. Compare swirl marks!
4. Compare Prozac dosage due to fingerprint anxiety!
5. Discuss and compare the pressure and velocity of the water hose used to spray off all the WHITE bird crap on your black car.
6. Discuss the many pounds of turtle wax used to get out those dried water marks off your car from the rain.
7. After all that cleaning, you begin driving your shiny black corvette feeling great, only to discover that you did not get all of the hidden water out of the side mirrors....... Also known as "Side Streak Stress Disorder"!!!.
8. Comparing burn scars from touching your car after being parked in the hot sun.
9. People don't mistake you for a Ferrari.
10. If you turn off the lights, the cops can't see you at night.
11. You never have to buy road tar removal gunk.
12. You never have to clean exhaust smoke residue off the rear.

I actually like black cars...I bought a new black '83 Z28 and got lots and lots of exercise keeping it clean. Not only that, but back then, raised white letter tires (remember those?) were on the car and I kept those sparkling white as well.
I'll never forget...one day I'd just finished detailing it and went for a cruise to the park just to get out and about. Not more than 5 minutes down the road, a bird flew by and deposited a big messy purple and white glob of **** on the hood and windshield. Had the t-tops off and luckily nothing got inside. I was not happy, but whatcha' gonna do?
Anyway, I know that if I had a black Vette, I'd spend most of my waking hours keeping it clean. Not that I don't do that with Red Racer...

WOW, so many of us. I had no idea. Love the pictures. Love all the different wheels. Right now I have the plain 'ol ugly wagon wheels on mine. Gotta get new wheels. 
While red is hot, black is cool (or is it the other way around?).
When do we vote for officers?
T-shirts?
Do we have an official song?

Washed, waxed & rubbed so many times the vette turned WHITE
So be careful out there with your black baby

"not lost"

Black Sheep in the house....
What's up fellas....this is my 2nd black vette, first was a C4. They have both been daily drivers, but the vert is getting more garage time as of late......
Black is the best color on a vette at night and it has definately made me more of a laid back person. I went totally crazy w/ the first one, but have learned that fingerprints and dust aren't the end of the world....
