Living in the rust belt, I have come to enjoy owning gray (or at least mid-tone) color cars. In the summer, we get dust and dirt which looks bad on light-colored cars and requires frequent washing. In the winter, we get road salt which looks bad on dark-colored cars and requires frequent washing. Neither is near as pronounced on gray, meaning I literally never wash the outside of my car. Rain and snow do it often enough for me.
- silisili 4y agoI'm convinced that's the only reason people buy that ugly champagne color on cars. I hate it, but judging by a friend who never washes her car, it does not show dirt.
