Default Sunny side or Dark side?

Well who's side should I join? The Berlina Black side or maybe a little more sunny with spa yellow? I love the thought of having a black S, but hate it at the same time, 'cause we all know how fun it is to take care of black cars. I also love yellow, but it may be Too flashy for me? I don't want people to think I'm Mr. EGO and love to flash it, ya know? So recruit me and tell me why your side is better?

Thanks,

F20C4ME

Ive had black cars before, got a yellow S2000, loved it, got a new car and stuck with yellow.

S2000s look great in Spa to boot!

Plus -the darkside is full of dweebs. You dont want to be a dweeb do you?

get the berlina.

yellow (or other bright colors) seem to invite birds to use your car as a crapper. you don't want to get bird crapped on while you've got the top down, do you?

Have you ever had a black car? Swirl marks all over if you dont wash and wax properly. Black is also the second most produced color. Do you want to be just like everyone else?

Real sports cars are supposed to be flashy and bright.

yellow =
*potential cop magnet (moreso than other colors)...
*birds mistake your car as crapper... i've been bird-crapped on before... & that sh*t ain't pretty!

black =
*heat magnet (especially if you have a black interior)...
*it does take ALOT more dedication to make a black car look great because of the easier to spot swirls on the finish, but if washed/waxed properly a black car could be drop-dead gorgeous.

personally, i don't have a preference on one over the other... the s looks great in both colors... though i wish they have the monte carlo blue w/ dark blue interior over here... or berlina w/ dark blue interior... or yellow with tan interior.

When I was hunting for my car in Spring 2002, I would've been able to get a deal on a Spa (now morphed into Rio, of course)... I held out for Suzuka blue because that's what I really liked. I seriously considered Sebring silver, but liked the blue better.

My advice, if you can call it that, is get the color that you like the most. You will always regret settling for a color you don't like.

That said, all the colors on the S2000 are awesome.

My hairdressor would be very offended by this comment. He loves his Miata.
