With the colder weather finally arrriving in NJ, hibernation can lead to increased time on the computer. Fortunately or Unfortunately (depending on your view) it can also be accompanied with an increase in materialistic spending ($$$)...such as a new Corvette.
Thanks to all who regularly take the time to respond!

I voted for ease of maint.However I picked because of both.I really like the color.If I didn't like the color as much as I do I would have sacrificed the maintenance.I think silver is the best color choice.

By having the interior be ebony and the top be black you get an added hidden benefit. The factory black "door handles" and black rear 3rd lite housing actually wind up looking like features, as opposed to "unpainted" aftermarket items - like with some of the other colors.
Sharp contrast.

Machine Silver
I chose Machine Silver because it's classy and sets off the lines very well. The ease of maintenance came as an added plus. I was surprised and pleased at how much attention and complements I got on a color I would describe as "Stealth Silver". Finally, the MS reminds me of the F16 and that can't be bad!!!

After 3 Blacks, One Red... Silver for the maintaince.
Black drove me crazy. I purchased torch red because I dislike the color and thought I wouldn't 'need' to clean it as often... true but the color ground on my nerves. Silver is working well for me.
