    ....you can't stay away from the Dark Side....

    Ebony is the first color to go to two pages and all of the other colors are checking in to comment and hang with the cool kids.

    "Ebony is the first color to go to two pages"

    Please refer back to my earlier 'anal retentiveness' comment.

    Maybe we should have just started a color bashin thread so these threads could've stayed clean.

    What?

    Did somebody call?



    And ebony could very well be the fastest color. Even the S/C is black, right?

    HAHAHA, yeah and knight rider was black, and most stealth aircraft, and most governmental armored cars are black, and pretty much anything worth riding in is black, lol And don't forget lots of guns are black, and yes, black is the fastest color..... no comment on that and the track and field world, we will leave that one alone..... We all know the negative connotations with other colors "yellow belly", "white men can't jump", "white as a ghost", "silver just looks like faded black", "silver just looks like dirty white", but black is just so hardcore everyone is too afraid to mess with the color, because deep in the heart of the color black is where all the other colors are hiding for fear of their very lives. Go ahead cower in the shadow of the greatest color ever............................ wow, sorry that was random.

    Funny you should say that, PB, because I was just wondering if you were going to start the Kaiser Check-in thread, and then I got to thinking, I think I know of fewer Kaisers out there than Foxfires. Right off the top of my head I can only think of yours and maybe 1 or 2 others... .

    Anyway, we might be the most common, but at the same time, we are certainly the most popular, because we ARE the coolest color for sure!

    1- yes kaiser is one of the more uncommon.....i think mine is one of 52 if i remember right...00' kaiser with red/black on the inside

    im not gonna lie...i do like the black, i think it looks pretty good, but i already have one black car and i was sick of trying to keep it clean so ill give up a little unity for less maint.

    if i were to buy another VX it would be foxfire or ironman...

    Thumbs up

    Yeah, these "check-in" threads are actually really quite funny. In all honestly, I love all VehiCROSSes regardless of the colors. If I could, I would buy one of each (I wonder if there is anyone out there who did just that and still has them tucked away somewhere).

    Didn't you bump into some crazy guy in a Hummer on your last shoot that said he had one of each?

    He said he had 3, but we all have our doubts as to if he was telling the truth. Personally, I call BS.

    Or everyone just tries to take the real king of the colors (black) off his well deserved spot at the top

    We even have a brand of car care treatment devoted to our color!

    Black is also the second most popular color among car owners in the U.S. — behind white, and that is just because of all the businesses that order all white fleets (construction, rentals). But this is not the case with VX's. Ebony with silver/black interior is still pretty rare

    It's like, how much more black could it get?

    And the answer is, NONE! None more black!

    I love my Ebony. Like they say, "once you try black, you'll never drive another color". Or something like that. I always mess up those quotations.
