Buy all of your cars the same color? I don't know what it is about silver, but my wife and I just love the color. Are we crazy or something? Just wondering?

Every car I have ever purchased has been a different color.

My mind, and my likes changes all the time, so i've always had different color cars.

Though I know people that only buy one color.

Besides, you really can't go wrong with silver. It's a good all around color.

Nope, we mix it up. Don't see an issue with you buying silver ... if you bought only black vehicles, we'd know you were OCD, though! No one wants that much vehicle upkeep responsibility

Good grief, I was expecting another Volvo to show up in your fleet picture, too! Thank you for NOT.

You better watch yourself, before I had the C6 I had a Volvo (black of course!).

S60R... 300hp, 6 speed manual, over .9 G on a skidpad, massive BREMBO brakes... and 4 luxurious seats in an interior GM could only dream of. People who have tracked these have often commented on embarassing stock C5's.

I dont think I would ever purchase all my cars in the same color. Not every car looks good in certain colors. Its nice to spice it up alittle. I would think its alittle boring to jump from one car to the next and its the same color as the one you just got out of.
