I've never heard this before. Polar silver is one of the best colours for showing off the curves of the cars and a lot car designers favour silver for this reason as well (e.g. Audi). Silver was the traditional German racing colour though it tended to me a more manly Arctic Silver. Think Mercedes and Auto Unions. Perhaps being silver, automatic and a convertible they mistook your car for a Boxster!

Sorry Boxster guys - I couldn't resist it.

Cheers,

David

My car is arctic silver and might not have entirely the same effect, but since getting the car six years ago I have noticed myself staring at other men's ***** a bit more at the mall. I also frequently drop my towel in the changing room at the gym. If I'd bought polar silver, I'm sure the effects would be even more pronounced.

Do you listen to the village people when you're driving?

I have grown fond of wearing my ***-less chaps while driving my p-car. Hey, anyone want to go antiquing in New Hampshire this summer?

Actually, in the International Racing Colors used by the FIA until sponsor liveries became popular, WHITE was the original German racing color, The Mercedes SSKs being called the "White elephant". Silver became prominent by accident, again caused by Mercedes. When cars used to have a weight "MAXIMUM", and Mercedes came in overweight, one of the weight reduction efforts was to remove the paint and expose the bare aluminum.

If you wish to be totally preparred to put people to sleep this weekend, check out these links:

LB, don't stoop to their level. Don't you have better things to do like having your eye brows tweezed or electrolosis on your back hair?
btw, can you please stop sending me PM's.. I told you for the last time, NO, I'm not interested.. I don't care how big your damn yacht is...
