Too lazy for black. Took silver for for easy care and thus more time time to drive.

Black shows off the depth and dimension of the car so much better than Machine Silver. I compared both and felt the MS muted the styling features to the point of almost appearing 2 dimensional.

Just my opinion.

Thanks for the salute. I have the strange disease that makes me love to wash and wax cars esp the Vette.

As far as Black being good for Garage Queens-

Does 33,000 miles qualify it as a Garage Queen?

I'd go with Silver. The paint is lighter color, therefore, there is less pigment in the paint, the paint is lighter the car is lighter and a lighter car is a faster car....... Just joking.

I have silver it still looks good a week after its been washed.
