    Black looks so amazing the day you wash it..... then looks like you need to wash it. I plan on this being my first and last black car

    I said I would never buy another black car. I lied. Black just looks soooo good for that two minutes when clean. Take pictures.

    Welcome to the forum. Never owned a black vehicle, never plan on it. It`s not a color, it`s a lifestyle

    Welcome to Wonderland...

    2004 Saturn: Black
    2004 Corvette: Black
    2005 Mazda: Black
    2008 Mustang: Black
    2013 Mustang: Black
    2016 WRX: Black

    And yet I can`t stop with the Black. They say the first step in Recovery is admitting you have a problem...still working on that.

    Maybe someday...

    Welcome, 340 Mopars !
    Hope all is good with you and yours !

    I always loved the mid-late-60-70`s 340 Mopars..
    They made some great understated horsepower..

    Hated it when much later all the perfect sized Mopars got much wider/fatter..

    Saw many Challenger T/A`s when they first came out - wow !

    Love all Black paint ! One year I Detailed 17 Black vehicles in a row...
    Have no fear of Black..

    Hope you enjoy your time here !

    Thanks Dan! i also kept my 72 gold/white vinyl top challenger which i finished about 12 years ago and did not like everything stock about it,so i started going thru suspension upgrades,such as Hotchkis,Bogeson poweder coating k-memember, fornt and rear sway bars and so on,has a 360/904 combo,11.1 motor,upgraded trans sprag,2800 stall converter.need to Finnish electrical and saving up for new gen a/c unit. This new to me Black 16 r/t plus has set me back a bit. I think i have it where i will like it for a while but in reality between this forum and OG Garage i`m finding good info.
