I have a white truck. I'm thinking of trading it off this year for a black one. But, that little Beltronics radar detector I bought a few months back has been a jewel. Saved my ass a few times already. I love it.

White's also a lot easier to keep looking clean. Black is a bitch, especially with all the pollen we have in the air around here.
Don't hate on my white
What about chrome, how does that reflect radar? (I actually have no idea)

Rep Power: 28 | | There were a couple Miata guys polishing their hoods...not as slick as that Chrome M3...but neat. 
Mustangs = fantastic platforms upon which to build power.

You brought up Chrome: Quote: |

Follow now?

Follow now? | Yes. I follow now that you included a couple more relevant details  See, not being a miata owner, I had no idea wtf you were talking about
That M3 is making me nauseous, yet I can't stop looking at it. Odd.

USAGE NOTE Traditional critics have insisted that nauseous is properly used only to mean “causing nausea” and that it is incorrect to use it to mean “affected with nausea,” as in Roller coasters make me nauseous. In this example, nauseated is preferred by 72 percent of the Usage Panel. Curiously, though, 88 percent of the Panelists prefer using nauseating in the sentence The children looked a little green from too many candy apples and nauseating (not nauseous) rides. Since there is a lot of evidence to show that nauseous is widely used to mean “feeling sick,” it appears that people use nauseous mainly in the sense in which it is considered incorrect. In its “correct” sense it is being supplanted by nauseating.
| I'm correctly incorrect! I always was a populist.
