I'm seriously considering buying an orange car.

[bdreason]

Okay, so at the end of the month I'm going to buy another car. I've narrowed down the make and model, but I'm undecided on the color. I'm normally a blue guy. My current car is blue... but this particular car is offered in an orange color that I just can't stop thinking about. My gf thinks the orange is ugly... she doesn't want blue either though, she wants the desert khaki color (not happening).


Let me know what you think of the orange color. I'll probably end up getting the blue color, but something about the orange man I don't know.

If it's not this car or perhaps a Challenger, I don't approve.

Subaru made his fourtune out of rally.

Colin Mcree won a rally championship with a blue Subaru Impreza, giving Subaru world recognition.

I'd go for the blue color if i were you.

[KNOW1EDGE]

I like the black or white the best. with blue being the number 1 alternative.

Im not feelin that particular shade of orange on that particular car. (although I generally like the color orange and I love subarus)

Ive never been a fan of orange cars..

.or red, cuz I heard statistically they get the most tickets cuz they are attention grabbers, I would guess itd be the same with orange as well.

Go with black or white IMO

[flipogb]

it depends on the car, and the car you are buying looks good in orange so I say go for it

[gigantes]

i'd prefer to see you buy a green car, although at this point i'm unsure if they're really any better for the environment in the end. those batteries...

what do you need a second car for, anyway?

When I buy a 6.0L V8 this week I'll be thinking of you. Right now I have 16 cylinders between my two vehicles. I might actually buy a little 200 horse John Deere diesel unit and throw it in the bed and idle it at 1500RPM day and night just for you.

[CarlosBoozer]

Meh, looks too bright.

[COnDEMnED]

What is your current driving history? Tickets? Do you often drink at a bar then drive home when your that special kinda drunk where it makes you a better driver?

Orange is a pretty noticeable color, cops can definitely have an easier time spotting your habits with an orange car. They can easily tell how long you've been sitting at the bar. :cheers:

hmm, why stop there?

you could collect as much used motor oil as you could and pour it into key public water sources. come to think of it, you could leave faucets running constantly and as many appliances switched on as your budget would reasonably allow.

you could also have fun driving around with cans of gasoline and setting fires in as many remote locations as possible... so they wouldn't catch you. also, when you're at the supermarket you could buy as much raid insect spray as possible and spray it around your neighbors homes and gardens, and again, at public places and in water supplies. ditto for as many carcinogenic compounds as you have lying around or can trashpick from behind auto-parts stores or whatever.

the possibilities are endless, johndeeregreen! just do exactly what we're already doing... just moreso. :D

I appreciate the suggestions, but I already do those things regularly. I'm not satisfied just doing my part, I'm looking to do more, goddammit.

[fiddy]

Orange vehicle, my first association is with garbage truck

[Graviton]

Orange Camaro with black rims is one of few instances when that color fits.

I like it in orange. Probably what color I would choose for myself. I like to be unique.

good for you for trying to stand out from the pack. :cheers:

make it matte orange

[Lamar Doom]

How's JDG not gonna reference this orange beauty?

Sweeeeeeeet.... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrtQ5uIOcKY#t=00m11s)


As a subaru owner I endorse this decision.

Highlighter orange ftw

[boozehound]

I do like that muted orange color. Honestly, subaru doesnt make a bad color. I did had my dark blue one when I lived in texas. damn it was hot

I also like the grey

[enayes]

The CrossTreks look pretty sweet. Subaru's are very popular in upstate NY and I definitely think the orange looks the best.

ORANGE.

[niko]

On the plus side when you go into the parking lot you'll immediate see the car. I don't like it really, it's kind of an ugly color.

No, that looks ugly.

However the subaru OP is gettin does look pretty cool in orange. I personally wouldnt want the attention while driving it might bring, but to each his own. It does look rad, on the other hand tho I feel like it might be somethin you could get sick of pretty quick.

:confusedshrug:

I ended up buying the Dark Gray Crosstrek - fully loaded. Also ordered some aftermarket parts (spoiler, grille, side molding, etc.) I'm having installed next week.


I'll post a few pics tomorrow.

[OldSkoolball#52]

^ orange camaro doesnt look as bad to me on second glance as it did originally.

[plowking]

Hold up a sec... A WRX, brand new costs $26 grand over there?

FML... and Australia. We have to pay $50 grand for that shit over here...

Can I ask why did you get that car?

Trips to the beach, Big Bear, and Tahoe mostly. Will also use it to move various stuff for work.

So I never posted pics, but I've done quite a bit of work to my XV, so I thought I would share;
