Still wish I could have gotten my hands on that charcoal colored one from Japan. Same charcoal color that shows up on the Rally cars. Damn shame.

I bought Black and Black was really the only color I even considered.

I really like silver but my last car was silver and I needed a change.

However I think that for the Evo - BLUE BY YOU is the best color. This car just looks so HOT in Blue.

I think yellow is the most popular and if I am not mistaken even has a higher resale value - due to it's presummed popularity I assume...

I still love my Black and would not trade it....but Blue -- WOW...

Sadly, 'Blue By You' isn't speeding ticket-proof, I just found out....

just wondering, for the amount of miles I have on my evo (its been a weekend car as of late), I think I go around faster than I should be.
Anyways, is there scientific or otherwise empirical proof that silver is more under-the-radar than other colors? If so, maybe I should tone it down a bit and not press my luck too much...

btw, black is soo sweet! if only the stupid dealer didnt charge a 3k premium on the black paint and a sunroof
