Guess I've never heard of My Cavalier, or My Z, or........whatever. I hate the whole My this, Your that ect.. I think is it all started with My Space and wanting to feel wanted or included.

Whats that got to do with a color or a car??

Default MY Rules!

Everyone must admit: yellow and red are both true sports car colors and used by the top carmakers throughout the world for just that reason. WHY? Because they look fast and cool!! I also own a mag red 04 and it is a beautiful color for a coupe and is hard to beat especially on a sunny day with the flake in the paint!! BUT a Z06 is a special breed of corvette that has earned the right to the yellow paint it so richly deserves!!!!!

I love my MY. The best thing about it is that whan you're on the highway, people see you coming up on them from a long way away and they just move on over. For those of you living in the NE, you KNOW what an amazing thing that is!

Same happened to me with my C6. I think seeing all those C5 and C6Rs at the races mesmerized me to linking the yellow...

Which is why Chevy offers other standard colors in addition to the really cool color. There's Government Vehicle White, Clean Me Daily Black, Follow the Crowd Red, and Can't See Me Silver to name a few.

Sorry, I'm still a little sensitive to the school bus comment earlier in the post.

I actually had a friend touch up his MY Cavalier with school bus paint, pretty perfect match.
