I will never own another black one way to much work to keep her looking sharp ! I am 50 and when I get my next one which will be a 2014 it will be RJT or RY Convertible ! Stay strong man they are just wishing it was theirs that all .

My IOM with white stripes is my total mid life crisis car and I have no problem saying it, my friends laugh at me for it!! Bought it when I turned 40 last year. I hate being on the road and seeing only black, silver, grey cars (no offense). I think they are boring and everyone blends in. Have questioned for years why auto makers don't come out with more exciting colors, I get because most people do want to blend in, especially in a fast car.

I promised myself I would never ever buy a red car again (3 bad accidents, none my fault), orange is pretty close and it sure felt like the same bad luck for the first year I had in previous red vehicles. Otherwise RJT would have been my first choice.

I wanted a ABM in the worst way, just could not find one in my area, bought a Victory Red, I never really was a fan of red, put white strips on it, I like it more each day.

I totally agree with Jewell on this one. RJT is still sweet, 4 years after she was born. Great color!

Damn...after seeing everybody post their ages,I'm starting to feel young again

...don't know why but always equate muscle car with youth...it seems that this car is the fountain of youth and everybody's getting a taste

I'm 64 and a while back a 40ish year old guy in an Older Ford f150 Pulls up at a light and rolls down the window and says "Hey Grandpa I suppse that yellow sports Car is suppose to make you feel like a stud?. I said well My 30 year old girlfriends "EX" drove a Ford f150 like yours! So I guess it works for me <

LOL

No regrets, I didn't buy black. :-)

Just kidding black owners.

White_SS/RS · 10-25-2013, 04:10 PM

No regrets here. I'm on my second white 5th gen and I'd buy white again.

Used Car dealer once told me that most everyone is attracted to the Red car and they are easier to sell. I like Red Hot 1LE

I love my black car... I wouldn't want it any other color... looks mean.

Me too, but I do like the white ones.

I love my silver with orange rally stripes but i wouldn't buy silver as a solid color choice. I don't regret it at all. I think contrasting accent colors are important with certain colors.

USMCSSGT-RET · 10-25-2013, 08:13 PM

I bought the best color, IOM, so I'm happy.

no regrets. I'm 58 and dont care a bit what anybody else thinks of my colour choice. And so far I have only gotten compliments about my car.
So dont worry about what your buddies think. and you are not old yet. 42 is still young from my point of view.
