Car color and psychology.
What does black car really mean? How do you feel when you see a black car? Inb4 uber. Are cops less likely to pull over a black car because it instills fear into people's eyes? Is that why cops drive black cars? Or do black cars stick out like a sore thumb asking for attention? Really wanna know your thoughts
>>14140035
I asked a friend and they think it's "gangster" color. They associate it with gangsters lol
Mostly asking because I'm going to buy a black car and I deal in many shady illegal activities in what most would call the underworld. I'm not like John wick but pretty close to yakuza
Black cars don't suggest criminality, having all of you windows tinted, flashy rims, and obnoxious sub bass suggests criminality. I would bet that most people driving black, grey, or white vehicles just don't care much about car color so they went with one of the neutral options. Over 70% of the cars in production are a neutral shade from black to white.

Only thing I notice having a black car is that people tend to be more aggressive towards me but seldom cut me off (they assume I'm driving faster than I am)
Best car colors are white or slightly off white, and if you want metallic, some shade of grey.
>>14140574
You think cops might think I'm going faster than I actually am and pull me over for going 3 miles over speed limit? Really hate pigs more than a usual driver they busted up my fave during a dui
>>14140125
>People who drive black cars don't care.
This, to an extent, when we picked up my fiance's 2014 Fusion, the only reason she gave a shit about the black was because it has those metallic flakes in it that make it shimmer.
White cars are for attention whores... There's always that faggot bucket washing his already spotless "stormtroopered" out white piece of shit when shits busy as fuck.
>>14140835
Tuxedo Black Metallic is GOAT
>>14140811
If you're worried about that type of thing, drive a Buick from the 90s that's very well kept and 100% stock. No one will give a shit about you
>>14140035
I like black cars because they're the only cars that match tuxedos and suits.
Red goes fastest, dis is fact
>>14140035
The rozzers in Lincolnshire used to play 'car snooker' if they were bored during a slow shift. Start with a red car for a point, then another colour for the relevant points, then another red and so on. It was very difficult to get a maximum break because there were very few pink cars for six points.
>>14141086
Rode a blue bicycle in college for a while until I crashed and wrecked the fork. Bought a red used bike, first day riding someone told me to slow down and another person made racecar sounds as I went by. I didn't feel like I was going faster than normal.
Either the red ones really do go faster, or people perceive them as faster.
>>14140035
No silver? I almost always go at least 15 over the speed limit and have sometimes sped past cops without them doing anything. Is a silver 2014 Cadillac ATS just so unassuming that whoever is driving it can't be doing anything bad?
>>14140035
You'd have to ask someone who has studied psychology. This shit isn't something random morons can just have opinions on, you either know about it or you don't.
What does it mean?
>>14141272
Difficult to say, it's an orange, but not a bright orange. It doesn't stand out but it is different. You either liked the warm fall-leaves color or liked an aggressive orange but didn't want to go all the way.
Not reading too deep with my armchair analysis.
>>14141080
Came to post that.
>>14141404
Lol.
I was gonna get a black Elantra but my mom of all people said it looked like a middle-aged woman's car and that I should get something more youthful.
>>14141272
it means ur gay
>>14141763
drive up to any slav/arab owned joint and all you will see is black cars, occasionally white if its a bitch

I have to agree with paul walker in that nothing is fresher than a clean white car

this
white cars a best
>>14141984
persian pls
Ive never thought black cars suggested fear or intimidation. To me its just a low-pro neutral color. Depending on the car it might make it look meaner. If you wanted to stick out it would be a bright color no? Hence Arrest-Me Red.
>>14141984
Yeah we know you think so tyrone

what does this mean?
>>14142140
>in the dealership
>Can you color match this?
But really, probably just tried to think of the brightest color and came up with highlighter yellow. Seeking extra attention with their FCA shitbox.
>mfw I have a black hatch with illegally tinted windows
I want to put light black tint film over the tail lights and paint the headlight housing black. Also thinking of plastidipping the wheels to match the car. Call me a faggot.
>>14142262
I have a tinted tail lights and because I retrofitted my headlights, the whole housing is painted black. And I have 1% tint all the way around and 35% on the windshield. Never been pulled but if I do I'm probably fucked.
>>14142262
"murdered out" cars are white trash tier as fuck unless it's a really nice exotic.
>>14140950
>when shits busy
What? Are you that fucking loser working at a carwash, that thinks anyone gives a shit about your problems?
>>14140045
hahahahahahah what
>>14141670
How did you take this picture? Didn't your teacher take your phone away?
Mennonites (Amish folk who can drive) are only allowed to drive black vehicles because they believe all other colors are too flashy.
>>14141927
>>14141984
White cars are the best.
>>14142380
Have you never seen a black person before? Also, define "murdered out" because my car is black and pretty much everything else done to it is black in color. Is there supposed to be an alternative? I don't want green wheels or some shit like that. I like conservative, not flashy
>>14142488
Bull fucking shit. There are TONS of Mennonites here, all their trucks are maroon, silver, or white.
>>14142488
Mennonites aren't really that similar to the Amish, and that's bullshit. They're great people in my experience.
>>14142507
No fortunately I live in a white city.
Any car that has 5% tint all around, smoked tails, smoked brake lights, black wheels, etc, looks like shit.
>>14142481
Yes, I took my mom car-shopping with me. No she did not buy it for me.
I love my mom.
>>14142553
I didn't say anything about your mom. I'm 30 and still live with mine.
I was implying you're in high school, and a faggot.
>>14142507
You don't get a conservative look by painting every little thing black. Get a model without all the cosmetic trim bits so it's less busy from the get go. Use steelies or minimalistic design bare metal alloys, no chrome or ricey shit. A lot of tint is unnecessary, blacked out lights are retarded. Just get good looking stuff from the get go and you won't have to spend money painting it all black. If it doesn't need a paint or darkening coating, why bother giving it one.
>>14142547
The wheels are gunmetal and there's no plasti dip. Still considered white trash?
>>14142565
Fascinating.
I am actually homosex since you're curious, and coincidentally high-school girls in the neighborhood love the car.
>>14142586
Agreed. The most conservative look is stock, and if you want to stand out a little bit the VIP look can be nice if not overdone.
If not for the shitty stance this would look sharp as fuck IMO
>>14142607
That looks pretty good desu, trucks are a little different.
>>14142608
Same here, but nobody cares about my car.
What does buttermilk yellow say?
>>14142663
"Please fuck me I obey"
>>14142607
>Illegal chink headlights
>LED light bars everywhere
>no fucking winch

It's a piece of shit.
>>14142663
"My trunk no longer stays closed by itself so I have it tied down with bungee cords"
>>14142663
I should probably paint my car a better color, but because of "muh I know wut I got", I wont.
>>14142702
>>Illegal chink headlights
Technically illegal, yes. Chink lights, no.
>>LED light bars everywhere
I didn't realize two light bars is everywhere
>>no fucking winch
I don't wheel alone
>>wheels that don't fit
They fit on there just fine. But don't take my word on it because I'm sure that you're the one who actually drives it everyday.
>>14142702
How are the headlights illegal? A little tacky, yes, illegal? No
LED bars are the fucking shit when used right.
Wheels don't fit? Why because they come out past the body of the car? Lmfao come on anon.
>>14142738
>Technically illegal, yes
What does that mean? It's either illegal or not, there is no technically.
>Chink lights, no.
Absolutely. No legitimate manufacturer makes anything like that for the Xterra.
>I didn't realize two light bars is everywhere
It is. What use is it? The giant light bar up top is stupid and glare creating. The one in the middle of the bull bar is more than enough for a flood light. Not to mention the stupid cubes on the front of the car for some reason.
>I don't wheel alone
That's an excuse how?
>But don't take my word on it
I won't, because they obviously don't. You just don't care.
>>14142553
>tfw you love your mom too
If you're trying to fly under the radar go silver. My previous two vehicles were silver with very dark tinted windows and I always went unnoticed.
>>14142763
>because they obviously don't.
You are obviously talking out of your ass.
>>14142763
>What does that mean? It's either illegal or not, there is no technically.
Illegal in the sense that going 1 mph over the speed limit is illegal. Is it illegal? Yes. Is it really dangerous or are you going to get pulled over for it? No.
>Absolutely. No legitimate manufacturer makes anything like that for the Xterra.
Except they do, pic related.
>It is. What use is it? The giant light bar up top is stupid and glare creating. The one in the middle of the bull bar is more than enough for a flood light. Not to mention the stupid cubes on the front of the car for some reason.
I use them for off-road lighting and they work great. Don't see why that upsets you.
>That's an excuse how?
When you wheel with someone else, they can recover you instead of having to rely on a winch for recovery if you're by yourself.
>I won't, because they obviously don't. You just don't care.
How does this prove my wheels don't fit? Because I haven't had a problem yet.
>>14141670
>tfw i drive a car for middle-aged women
