Don't hate me because I have movie star good looks. I asked Beeny what you look like and he said you make the Elephant Man look good. Dogs are like Vulcans. They don't lie.

Nothing as butt-ugly as chrome and white interior! But as they say ...beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

One thing I found throughout life so far......looking tough/mean and being tough/mean.....two totally different things. Holds true for cars and people.

Think how boring our world would be if everything was painted black! I know some people think cars and motorcycles look meaner in black, but things are getting carried away. If a car is black, it needs contrast...not more black, unless you want to camouflage it, so at night it will be invisible...lol.
But that's just my opinion, I like color and chrome or polished metal. So I am not trying to tell anyone what to do with their car, I just don't get the appeal. I always liked black and chrome. So perhaps that makes me old school, but I'm ok with that label.
Black can be overdone. Like you said, it needs contrast

Common thinking error:
Over-generalization a mental skewing wherein a person sees a sole occurrence as an invariable rule, so that, for instance, meeting someone who did not look tough and was tough. Or meeting someone who looked tough but wasn't.

Theres always someone that has to play the "We all have a right to our opinion" card. Of course we all have a right to our opinion....but hows that old saying go...."Opinions are like @#$-holes....everyone has one....and some just stink"....lOL.

SINISTER
Yep some of us want our cars to look: threatening or portending evil, harm, or trouble; ominous, bad, evil, base, or wicked; sinister purposes.


NOT LIKE THIS: Happy, sunny, flowery, rainbows, colorful, nice, and kind.....
Some people want their cars to look "Threatening" ?? And we wonder why our society is messed up....LOL

Respectfully I disagree. Personally I think chrome is TACKY. Polished wheels are nice. Chrome is for the 60s.

Did we just become best friends? How about a "Sinister" thread?!?!?!?

EDIT: and I'm sorry I should have thanked you. There is definitely something dark about the car. It takes the elegance and gives it muscle. It's like batman (and everyone calls it my batmobile)... he's dark, mysterious, tough. Super man and all those guys are bright and shiny trying to sneak up on you wearing their rainbows... not happening man...
