The interesting thing about White is that there are so many different shapes of it .
One of my mentors loved White cars, he had several white cars, after he passed, he left me these



Looking back, it appears that I have had several White cars.

I like white, one of the few colours that looks good on any age of car

Black looks the best but hard to keep clean

If you're going to rob a bank, white on an Altima is the way to go.

When I buy a car, I buy the best car for the money, so I look for condition, options, and price. Color is down the list and pretty much not a "will I buy it" factor. There are probably some colors or paint jobs that I'd skip, but i'm pretty sure they would be custom. I think I'd skip a pink car (ex-Mary Kay).

I live in a hot environment and while black looks great, it's HOT in the wrong environment. I've still had 2 black cars (911 and miata) because those were the best cars that I found.

I've actually always liked silver on a Porsche.

This is probably my dream Porsche.


From an aesthetic point of view, I'd actually prefer the earlier "whale tail"


But from a performance point of view (If I'm being picky which you can do in a dream) I'd probably rather have a later (but still G-body) 930.

Porsche-wise? white shows off the perfect door gaps best of all.
