Default Three Black C6s

I pulled out of work today and was sitting at a light that goes across a major highway near Seattle. As I sat there at the front of the light, I saw a black C6 coupe going southbound, a few seconds later a Black C6 GS Coupe going northbound and as I went through the light saw another Black C6 Coupe going the opposite direction as me. It was a huge coincidence because I was also driving my BLACK C6 COUPE!

I thought it was funny because when I had my millennium yellow C5 convertible for about a year I literally didn’t see another yellow Corvette.

Pretty good! I usually go about 3-4 days without seeing another vette here, regardless of year of color.

:Pick any car, any style, and black will probably be the best-looking color for that car. I used to like CRM the best for a Vette, but now it is black, blacked-out.

I use to agree about black. But now all you see are blacked out Camaros, Mustangs, Civics, Altimas...you name it. Getting old and very plain looking. But if it makes you happy....

I’ll occasionally see 1 or 2 on my commute, but never 3 Black C6s all heading in different directions within about a minute. Haha

Nope...just as buck suggested....black is king on just about all vehicles. Problem today is that there are just too many other things that wanna be car enthusiast are slapping all over their cars.....windshield stickers.....spoilers......cheap looking decals....etc....etc....and lets not forget about the infamous car looks killer of all....BLACK WHEELS !!!!!........

In my defense I bought mine with the black wheels and check out that sick “resident” decal I have on the window! It adds 20 horsepower if you were wondering

This whole thread is racist! Just kiddin, I think all I've ever had has been black vehicles, cars/trucks. Funny you mentioned that though, the other day I passed a blacked out c6, and then about 10 mins down the road I see a blacked out c7 go rolling by, and I even did the wave but then forgot I was in my black truck!

Well, that stands to reason .... Living in a state like Oregon or Washington that are full of left-wing liberals, all they drive there is Volvo's, Subaru's and Soccer-Mom SUV's

YUP. Not sure why all this blacked out stuff got started but it seems to have something to do with looking "sinister". Why someone wants their beautifully lined car to look sinister is beyond me. Maybe they've been watching too many Fast & Furious movies....lOL. Don't get me wrong, in some instances....particularly trucks and then a few cars the black wheels look OK.....but thats just OK.....they don't look any where near their best. They really would and do look much better with a chrome type or aluminum type wheel.......

It's been done to death, and IMO, just doesn't show any originality, but whatever trips your trigger.

I'm thinking the recent Batman movies is where this style became popular.
