i mean id rather not, but it came down to buying a blue car with some mechanical problems versus a yellow car that was more reliable, then yea i'd pick the yellow car

My 03 Vette was yellow....looked pretty damn good, too.

For the most part, I think sports cars are the only ones that get away with it...and *maybe* Beetles, but that's about it.

Right here. Sort of - My screen name was changed last year, but I still have my Yellow Fiero! See sig.

Anyhow, I think yellow only works on certain cars. And there are different types of yellow to boot. The pukey yellows don't work for me. I like the deeper yellows myself.

Yellow ftw.

Thanks for thinking of me Raiden256. :beer:

Ferrari
Lambo
Mustang
Viper
Corvette

all look really good in yellow!

I was looking at an econobox.
<--- not rich.

If it were a tasteful yellow, I wouldn't have a problem with it...especially if you're cost-conscious (as econobox shoppers usually are)

Then again, I'm the sort that doesn't really care what other people think of me...so my views may be a little skewed
