Thanks to all that responded to my post yesterday on 03 grey Coupe with less than 1000 miles for 31K...
I drove the car today, it had 753 miles on the speedo...
the car was under cover with trickle battery charger
This car was perfect...I was second party for a friend that purchased it today after running vin checking History and talking to the corvette mechnic at a local dealer ship...
I own A Black 07 3lt f55 2 tone interior...

THIS FORUM IS Great....Thanks

i love my MSG paint job, it's just a pain in the *** to explain it to people.

It's gray.
What do you mean gray?
It's gray.
Like silver?
No, it's a dark gray.
Like pewter?
No, it's a dark gray.
Like a gun-metal gray?
No. It's just dark gray.
OK, I get it.

Then they see it.

Oh, it's grey-gray.
yeah, that's why it's called gray.

Even with the same annoying conversation, I don't think I would have it any other way. I like my non-silver, non-pewter, grey-gray car.

the only apt description i can think of is "smoke," but I'll be damned if I call it anything other than gray, dark grey, or spiral gray. leave the nonsense names to the infinitis, beemers, and "torch red/electric blue/millenium yellow" cars.
