BRZ Color

[giant_mtb]

It's a Subaru!  Gray, WR Blue, or Black are the only ways to go!  I'd get black, but WR Blue is always awesome (happens to be the color of the walls in my room, in fact).

Although I detailed a Subaru the other day...tWas a burnt orange type color.  Looked fucking awesome once it was waxed up...the BRZ would probably look awesome with it, but I don't think it's offered...? 

[MrH]

It matters that much to you? I could be driving this car in a hideous shade of Puce, and I would still love it.

I'm dropping $28k on it. It better be a color I love.

Yeah, if you can choose your color, then you might as well choose the one you want.

Ah c'mon you pansies, WR blue on a Subaru? Live a little! (kidding, Roy)


But seriously, WWDVD - What Would Darth Vader Drive?

[SVT_Power]

Everyone gets it, no one really likes it, but it does the job. 

like yo mama?

I don't like Star Wars.  Trying to be like Darth Vader isn't one of my life goals

You don't like Star Wars?

But it's fine to not want to be like Darth Vader.  He was kind of a pussy.

Which one bangs Natalie Portman?  And what color BRZ would he drive?  I'll aspire to be like that guy.

Now you're mixing Star Wars with reality!  You can't do that.  There's no reality where you want to be Hayden Christensen.  He's worse than Paul Walker.

That is why you fail.

You don't need to like Star Wars to know that black is the universal color of the card-carrying certified Bad Ass.

If you get a black car, you must have the windows tinted with 5% tint in order to be a total badass.

[Raza]

Tinted windows are so lame.

[SVT666]

Tinted windows are so lame.

Fuck that.  Tinted windows are fucking awesome.  My Focus with 5%:

[MrH]

5% is definitely lame.  Can't see anything at night.  It's also illegal here.

[SVT666]

5% is definitely lame.  Can't see anything at night.  It's also illegal here.

That's BS.  I've had 5% in various cars for 10 years and seeing at night has never been an issue.

[MrH]

That's BS.  I've had 5% in various cars for 10 years and seeing at night has never been an issue.

  Ok.  I've been in cars with 20% and I thought that was too dark.

BRZ will likely get 50% all around (except windshield obviously).

I'm prolly gonna tint the Accent to the max legal %. The sun is too hot here. Should run around $120.

Then you probably have a slight night vision problem because I have never had a problem with 5%.

I bet you wear sunglasses at night...

My dad's truck has too much tint because when you back up at night all you can see is the illuminated gauges.

[SVT666]

Don't be afraid of the guy in shades.

It's like wearing sunglasses.  Of course it hinders night visibility, don't be ridiculous.

Of course it makes it harder, but I can still see everything I need to see when backing up in a parking lot.  In 10 years, I have yet to not see a person walking behind the car or anything that I might hit.  Just be careful.  The daytime benefits far outweigh the slightly increased difficulty in seeing when backing up at night.

EDIT:  There are also nighttime benefits.  Headlights in my back window are dimmed and I'm never blinded.

[SVT666]

"I like limo tint. I reject your reality and substitute my own"

Not at all.  It's not like it makes you blind at night.

Is it really worth it to risk backing into something because you can't see it?  I can understand a tint if you live in a Texas-like climate, but I want as much visibility as possible. 

[SVT666]

I never have.

It's also possible to reverse in a Camaro without hitting anything, but it's still not ideal.

It's not ideal, but it's not impossible or even dangerous.  Be careful and you're fine.
