Wrong! My Dad had a similar Tempest when I was young, he sold it right before I got my permit.

Friend of mine had a yellow Lotus Elise for a few years.  Fun as hell to ride in, even though I barely fit in the damn thing.

One of my earliest car memories was my dads canary yellow Grand Prix. I was just learning to read, asked my dad what a grand prix was. Him and my brother both snickered. Took me a a few more years to learn the meaning of 'pricks'.

Bright yellows are fine.

Dingy yellows are not.

Gold is the worst color for a car.

I've never thought about it, but yeah, yellow is really bad.

Puke green is worse though.

yes. at least with a pink car everyone knows you are joking. the sad thing is that while a lambo or a Ferrari may be cool enough to pull off being yellow 90% of the time its some v6 mudstain or a ranger.

How about airplanes ???



I haven't chosen a final scheme yet but it'll be down to Toyota Voodoo Blue with a darker yellow or a really obnoxious bright yellow with a dark blue/purple.

I'm going to paint some samples once the current Stearman wing is finished in the paint booth...

I'm going with the more traditional Pitts scheme versus the curves. Something like this...



I'm going to change the tail to the same tapered stripes as the wing and also only have a single lengthwise tapered stripe. I have about a month before I need to make a final decision.

Yellow adds 3 mpg

more than turning off the air conditioner.  

It only looks good on select cars though, and no trucks.   So op sorta has a point.

A girlfriend had a VW Corrado in yellow. Despite the color, we were always getting people trying to hit us during lane changes.

Fun car, but a piece of shit. The damn door holder broke and was a big pain in the ass to fix once I waited long enough to get the part.

Like my Cobra kit car, the Pitts is something I'll never get rid of. That said, myself and a friend have a laundry list of aircraft we'd like to own for a year or two, then sell and move to a different aircraft. The P26 is kinda cool in the "I'm gonna tear up the pattern at the grass strip this evening".

That said, with only 2 flyable ones remaining, I don't think we'll see one in our pattern....

I'm on my first black car, and so far, I agree.
I mean, it looks good for about 5 minutes after washing, but that's it.
