it depends on the context you use redas a colour.
when it comes to cars, you can as well say red is mystery.

There is no mystery in any shade of red. When something is mysterious it comes off as something you want to know more of. But red is bright and out there. Every thing is out in the open, there is no mystery.

@ posters, lets not get it twisted, i believe Black is not sexy rather i would call it Classy,
a black classy car is not the same as a red sexy car,   just picture a red hummer and a black hummer, The black hummer looks classy, rugged and powerful while a red hummer looks simply less rugged & powerful (my opinion).

Black is Mysterious, Slick, Powerful especially when sitting on a black Dub 20 atleast,with  tinted screens.
@onyinye2
would you say black is mysterious without tinted windows
isn't it open as you stated
Re: What Does The Color Of A Car Say? by onyinye2(f): 5:59pm On Aug 18, 2008
Red is not sexy, fierce, but not sexy. But just look at a Black Escalade driving down the street. I mean that is the definition of sexy.

Tinted is optional. It just adds to the slickness and mystery. It is like a guy coming down the street in a nice Black Armani suit. He already looks good and mysterious, but when he puts on those black stunna shades. . . . oh boy we gotta something going on.

@ onyinye2, i wuldn't totally agree with you 'cos i wuld rather call that "CLASSY" not sexy.

Then please explain to me what is sexy about a red Ford Focus vs. a black one?

When i meant about open, i was talking about it is so easy to decipher. Just one look with a red car, you got the jist of it. But with a black car, you gotta walk around it a couple of times to get the full drift of it.

 well i agree there might be no much diffrnce btw those cos ford focus isn't really a big car,    but you said earlier that black is a show stoppa. pls. i want you to picture a convoy of ten black escalades & compare with a convoy of ten buggati veyrons,  which one stops the show most??
Re: What Does The Color Of A Car Say? by jeepdity(m): 6:29pm On Aug 18, 2008
i mean ten red bugatti veyrons

Oka lets see. Oka ten Bugatti Veyrons are show pausers, not show stoppas. But if someone rolls up with a black on black escalade, lawd have mercy we gotta something going on.

It all comes from the book of Onyinye's phrases.
Re: What Does The Color Of A Car Say? by jeepdity(m): 6:46pm On Aug 18, 2008
@onyinye2, i think it's an issue of perception here, the fact that you r a female you tend to see a black car as sexy. while for me cos am male, i see a red car as sexy.
cos if you say ten bugatti veyrons aren't show stoppas but pausers then i wonder what a show stoppa wuld be,

i believe Keba would agree with this perception.

@keba wat do u think?

Keba, nna you are really pushing it. Biko, dont start with me.

Oka that whole female/male thing is just taboo. I just don't see anything sexy about a red car, fierce, but not sexy. But if i came rolling up in a Cadillac CTS, black on black, mayne i would own the rode. But the red one will just be eye candy.
Re: What Does The Color Of A Car Say? by jeepdity(m): 7:02pm On Aug 18, 2008
a red Cadillac CTS on black tint would definitely hang more jaws than a blackCadillac CTS (cos a black Cadillac CTS looks more regular) cool

regular? now i know you are tripping. a black CTS w/ tinted windows would turn ya head 360. but a red one would get your attention. . . . until it is over shined.

I like that here people with tinted screens get charged. Dont know what they hell they are trying to hide and whatever it is, it better be worth the $600 fine grin

For some reason or another, when a car is red, it is deemed as a "fast" car.

Exactly why red cars are pulled over by the cops than any other car. Also some insurance companies make you pay higher for such colors
Re: What Does The Color Of A Car Say? by Gamine(f): 7:19pm On Aug 18, 2008
izz a lie!!! shocked

pay more for color? undecided

First off tinted windows are just icing on a cake. It just puts that glam on a car.
Yeah alot of companies charge a larger portion on red cars even though they did a special on red cars on i think Good Morning America. Proving that red cars are no faster than the green car beside it.
Re: What Does The Color Of A Car Say? by jeepdity(m): 7:24pm On Aug 18, 2008
@kerma it's not that xpensive ,  
lets face it tint can be nice on some cars,   try cruising a tinted rover sport (i mean limo tint)  cool
Re: What Does The Color Of A Car Say? by KarmaMod(f): 7:24pm On Aug 18, 2008
Yea well that "glam" puts a hole in the pocket with fines.

Unfortunately yeah. But i would still tint the back two windows, and leave the front ones "regular".

Re: What Does The Color Of A Car Say? by LASIEFAIRE(m): 7:44pm On Aug 18, 2008
If you dont want to get fined for a Tinted get a prescription from a Doctor. Get your tint as dark as possible.
