These cars look so good in so many colors, but that black is just stunning.

Thanks a bunch! Black was an easy choice.. it came down to the seats! I went thru several shades of red, and landed on this burnt color... than I realized black was the only color to go with!

However, brings out every single imperfection! Ah!
