Those Rick factory shaded greens are beauts, IMPWOO (in my P.W. opposing opinion). Color of the year for 2007?
BTW, people who drive green cars are well adjusted.
I crashed my green car.

Very few people drive green cars. My wife crashed my first (Green) Citroen SM back in '95. Haven't had a green anything since.

Maybe you see a different shade of green than I do, Jerry.

Paul, I would venture a guess that your wife is well adjusted, if I may be so bold.

I don't see many green cars since they passed the law that cars can only be produced in black, silver or white.

Green cars are eminently crashable, me thinks.

I see different shades of most everything.

So true.

Years ago, when I had finished my Sunbeam Tiger's nine months' worth of body work, I polled my friends as to what color it should be painted.

All except one said "BLACK". The one was my wife, who I was then dating. She said "Porsche Guards Red". I had not owned a red car since 1980, and that one was metallic red.

I was concerned about the cop magnet aspect.

I decided to hell with it and did it--in Glassomax urethane--two gallons' ($720.00) worth.

I drove that car for six years after I painted it. I never got a ticket in it.

Now it's the dark blue SAAB. Next car will be anything but the three you mention.

I drive a green 2001 Mustang Bullitt. I also crashed it (while swerving to avoid a deer) about a month after I bought it. Thankfully, a local auto body shop did an excellent job repairing the damage, and its been going strong ever since.

I ride a British Racing Green Triumph.

I crashed it once, too.

That hurt.

I am always drawn to green cars (I have had several...come to think of it, I have one now!). I had a Telecaster that needed a respray & I chose green...I love the colour & a greenburst would be irresistable. I don't belive in this sort of thing, but being born in May, my birthstone is Emerald...I wonder if there is a connection?

BTW, welcome Brian....

Well, those Ed prices are for options, including paint and exotic woods.

"Hand Rubbed" cracks me up. No matter how you slice it, any paint job turns out to be "hand rubbed". About 20% of any guitar's finish is inaccessible to machines. Only fingers fit.

$2200.00 for exotic wood. That's at least $1000.00 pure profit.

I reckon Ed's fingers must be green..... green from handling all that currency!!

I love green cars. The lime green Miura is one of the best and so is this that I have been thinking about buying...
No room for shrinking violets here...

An Interceptor? What series, Wints?

Tony Carey,

Are you the same Tony Carey of Rainbow and Planet P Project fame?

Just wondering.

It's an FF Howard. Series 1 with the pre federal airplane type dash.

I know there's a few Interceptors down under.

Most of them are rusted hulks..... pity.

I drove a series 3 (or was it 2) many years ago. Went extremely well.... just your run of the mill silver, though!

An FF??? That's rarer than a '58 325!

Amazing and my congrats on keeping it running!

It does run, doesn't it?
