    Whats Your Favourite Colour?

    There are so many colors I like...seems like the right color on a certain car sets if off whereas the same color an another car sometimes doesn't work so well. i just had my 68 painted and went everywhere from copper to the original mist green. at the end of the day i decided on black.
