Sure they are harder to keep clean but they sure look nice when they are.

That's it! Black is easy. I've washed my vette this year 3 times. That's it. I've put on 8K miles. If you follow my simple 3 step plan you too can be happy and enjoy life with your black vette. lol

I don't have a garage, I drive my car everyday and I still manage to keep it looking the way it is below. I do clean it up every other day, but I LOVE MY VETTE!

Only buy black if you are willing to sweat and suffer for the best color out there.
BatMan doesnt own a Millenium Yellow Batmobile. Nor is it Torch Red. It's Black as night. So are Stealth Bombers and Ninjas. James Bond doesnt wear a blue tuxedo and there's no movie called "Yellow Beauty" when it comes to Horse lovers.
BLACK is the way to go, if you can handle it. Sexy and classy, understated and yet eye catching.
Of course, ten seconds after you wash it, it looks dirty again....but those are a glorious ten seconds of absolute perfection, my friend.
To quote a special 80's movie..."Do you want ten seconds of WONDERFUL? Or a lifetime of nothing special?"
Its up to you to decide (I love all colors of Vettes BTW..all special in their own way).

All my cars are black (Tahoe, SC430 & triple black vert). I'm not a car cover fan, but do keep them in the garage.
White is too vanilla; torch red, mill yellow & electron blue tend to attract the wrong attention(Do you know how fast you were going?).
I would consider dk navy blue or bowling green but they are in short supply.
