I drive pickups and would be quite pleased if I got ahold of one in construction crew orange. :mrgreen:

I like pretty much any color except black, white, and silver. I find them all too boring and I've owned cars in all three. I chose red because that's the color of my DD (actually it's more orange depending on the angle).Burnt orange has grown on me.

I also toyed with the idea of getting acid trip green that Ford are offering on some models.

The green that absolutely takes the cake would be this next one because I'm crazy like that.

I had a 1995 Accord EX in that nicely understated forest green.

That Challenger. Omnomnom.

Kia's corsa blue is also pretty nice.
