found another picture of a nephrite green interior. Although, it is absolutely horrible, the interior is improved by the exterior color.

How appropriate that is also has amber lights, more colors to dazzle with.

Ah, it's clear now. Fighting off kidney stones or something . . .

nephrite
\neph"rite\ (?; 277), n. [cf. f. néphrite. see nephritis.] (min.) a hard compact mineral, of a dark green color, formerly worn as a remedy for diseases of the kidneys, whence its name; kidney stone; a kind of jade. see jade.

see this....this right here is reason enuff to get rid of pro-choice, democracy and all that gobble-de-gook. nephrite green is so horrendous a color choice that installing it in one's car strengthens ever argument ever made for the nanny state because clearly if man isn't smart enuff to avoid something as bad as nephrite green on friggin' TEAL...with WOOD GRAIN INTERIOR.......then we're not smart enuff to run anything else important.

------------------------------------------------
end rant
------------------------------------------------


that car can be saved tho...if you buy it for cheap enuff (lowball offer)...you can swap the interior out for a black one with used pieces.

Some don't care much for color other than grey and black..I'm not into the green, but really like my red (I call it Heff Red) interior - great contrast with Polar Silver IMO

Thanks zookie - the term Heff was a joke my wife made when she saw it (as in Hugh Hefner).

I really like the unique contrast, I'd always been a diehard blk/blk fan and I'm sure some always will be-so be it.
