White does not show dirt and dust as bad as darker colors, chrome shows up nicely on it, any color interior goes well with it, and there are not as many of them around as the standard reds and blacks.

White is very classy. We own a white vert and as the vanity plate says we are “ON CLD9” when ever we drive her.

This is the first white car I have had... I have had black and silver for cars before. I know that I cannot get my white car as glossy as a darker color but I think that I did well on this.





Hope you can see those pics... I always have trouble

I agree, white is very nice for appliances. That's why I got a white pickup truck.

However, everyone knows that all corvettes are red. Torch red in my case!

In general, I'm not a big fan of white cars as they tend to look drab. However, I've seen a few very nice white C5s, mostly from this forum, that have nice black accents, Z06 brake ducts, lower rear/front fascia paint, red calipers, etc. that really make the car pop and look great!

That is too funny!

You would not want the fashion police to arrest you.

P.S. I have owned a number of White vehicles including my previous Corvette and my current Yukon and Sierra.

My current 'Vette is Torch Red although I really like white with TR interior.

Remember all 300 of the original 1953 Corvettes were white with red interior. Classic combo.

I am usually not a fan of white cars, but the more I see the white Vettes, the more I like them. Nice looking car you have.

I really like white vettes, I've had two. Yours is simply beautiful.

Actually, I like nearly all the colors, and color is one the hardest decisions for me when I'm getting a new one.
