No, pretty sure it's "******."

You let us down, Mrs. Ow -- that ^ is obviously incorrect.

We thought you could set it right.

Doesn't make my post about how a bunch of Prius owners are called ****** incorrect, however.

How many pages back was I supposed to go to give the punchline to the joke you envisioned? I don't have 20 pages in me at this point.

I saw a black C7 go by the other day. He had black wheels on it and the visual effect (black car + black wheels) was horrible. But hey, it's a free country... if you want to drive ugly car, then that's an option that we all have, hahahahah!

Or you can continue to choose to live in the very boring past, but then that's an option we all have.

I have satin black cup wheels on my IOM 427 and I don't think any other color would look right...maybe comp gray. If I ever have to get them repainted, I'll have them redone in gloss black! On my '70 Stingray I have chome wheels and wouldn't have anything else.

Every wheel finish is dependent on vehicle. My Yukon Denali and Sierra HD Denali both have chrome. Older collector cars are most likely to look best in chrome. New performance cars are definitely better suited for Black as the available inventory and cars on the street dictate. At one time I loved chrome on my C6 but as times change, tastes change.

I like mine and I like what others are sporting as well. A Corvette is a Corvette as long as it's not riced out. IMO

Your car looks great. I have no plans on getting a C7 but every once in awhile I'll see one that makes me think twice about it. You car was one of those that made me do a double take. Love the orange with black.
