Just a tip...

I have found that if you park next to a vehicle with a darker shade of black that the dust will migrate to their car while in a restaurant.

Car wash or Outback Steakhouse - your choice.

When mine got too dirty, I had the nose painted purple, fading into black

After owning 4 black cars I said "no way" to another one and got the next hardest color to keep clean. Lemans Blue.

Black vettes just look badazz, simple as that. Worth the extra trouble to keep it looking good.
