    look perfect from close by.

    If that’s gonna bother you, don’t get one.
    If it doesn’t, then enjoy. Fair enough?

    I cheated, I bought a black vehicle, but it's a pickup truck. So when it gets dirty, it still looks great. But yeah, about ten seconds after a 2-hour cleaning, it's covered in dust again. You have to be able to live with that.

    Late winter and spring here are bad with dust/pollen but after that I never had too much trouble with it.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    Clean-a-Clean-a-Clean!

    Everybody spoke about the cleaning-upkeep nightmares with black.
    But nobody mentioned the freaking heat problems with that color.

    If you like getting into an Oven every day, specially in southern CA, be my guest!
    Of course you're gong to want to order it with jet black leather, a black vette with any other color interior looks like A$$. The Seats will be just like sitting on a frying pan in summer.

    Of course there's one way around it. Install a remote start, and everytime "before" you get in the car, always keep the A/C set to full blast, hit the button, and then wait 15 minutes before you get in.

    I figger, if you can afford the Vette, you can also afford the additional gas expense with it idling out in some baking hot parking lot.

    Of course in your state, expect the Po Po on a regular basis putting tickets on your car for it running unattended also. What's a few G's expense more a year?

    Kim likes White!

    Now take a peek a this beauty! Tell me this ride doesn't look absolutely sweet?!

    Of course I don't see many Stingrays the equal of this ride, but of course not many Stingrays come in at this price unless we're maybe talking about an original NCRS 1967 L-88 Coupe. Or a vintage ZL-1.

    Order such with Black Leather, there goes your issues fighting dust, swirling, death valley heat issues, and upkeep. Black to me never seemed to be a color that showcased wheels and tires, and let them stand out in all their glory.
