READ FIRST POST BEFORE VOTING - Car Color

[Omegaman 3.0]

Let me get this our front. This IS partially about vanity and similar qualities. For me, the choice of things like style and color/customization of a vehichle, is every bit as vain as wearing fancy clothes, tatoos jewelry. fancy hair, or even having the best looking lawn in the neighborhood.

Now that this is out of the way, I ask you to respond to my poll, the subject regards the cars rendered in the following image:

In addition to the questions in the poll, you could answer another if you would be so kind. 

Suppose you won a contest, and as the winner, you would receive your choice of these two cars, under the following 3 restrictions.

1. You and/or your spouse (if any) are the only ones who may drive the car while you own it.

2. You must keep the car for 10 years, or else return it back the the contest promoter.

3. During these ten years, you may not repaint the car, unless it is in the same color, not may you obsured the color with a custom wrap etc. the car must maintain the  same, general appearance in which you receive it..

OKAY, it is a stupid thread to be sure, but now, if you will, please go vote.

I picked the red one for question 1, because, well, red is awesome and yellow is lame. thats all there is to it.

 

question 2, kind of a pointless question. at night, all your going to see is the lights. So it makes no difference what color the car is. I chose yellow, because if you "happened" to be running around without headlights, yellow will reflect other peoples headlights better, so in "theory" it is easier to spot, but reality is your still asking for a disastor.

 

Question 3 this is from actual experience in adverse conditions, and there are exceptions to the rule and each situation is different, but typically, darker colored vehicles are easier to spot in adverse weather conditions (daylight conditions, im assuming) such as fog, rain, or snow, because of the contrast. So I obviously picked red.

 

As far as to the conditions, I guess I dont see the question. Would I take the car under those conditions? certainly. A free car is a free car. And if I take care of it, especially a car like that, it could be worth serious money in 10 years, and even if it "devalues" no matter what I sell it for, i will be getting a 100% profit out of it, assuming of course I dont spend a fortune in storage fees.

I would prefer neither one of them, but if I HAD to, the yellow one. 

Why? Because brake lights are harder to see on red cars and I already had one person rear end me because he was unable to see my brake lights easily. (My brake lights were legal and in good condition but he was also medically unfit to drive.)

I must agree with that statement,,,,,,How does this pertain to the "Inner Court" I must ask? I have answered you 3 poll questions,having been in the majority in all three for obvious & common responses would apply,,,,,,,,,,

  For the extra question ,,,,I am a car buff,I used to race cars(Super Pro Bracket Drags),,,,,,,,,so,I would of course,take the car(unless I could return it for monetary value),,,,,,could do a lot of good for many people with that kind of money,I would much prefer that & Glorify God by Blessing others,,,,,,,,,

 But since there is no option to sell it or get money instead,I would keep it(red),drive it if I could afford the insurance & maintenance but probably would not be able to,,,,,,,

I picked yellow all the way through.  I love the color yellow.  I can't help it.

I was thinking more from the side, not looking at it from the front or rear.

Not would you take the car, under those conditions, which car would you take? Some might like the look of a car, but want the other one, for example, suppose someone likes red, but believes red cars get more tickets, they might opt for yellow.

Well, yes, not twisting your arm, if you do not want a free car, you can decline!

It is inner court, because the is where the "General" section is, should I have only had unbelievers and seekers respond? There are more believers here, so I figured that is where I would get the most answers, that is all.
