Have you ever been tempted to toss a slab of meat into a tiger cage? Do you like cock fights, MMA, or boxing? Well, if you’re a blood sport fan, I’ve got news for you, Twitter car battles are next-level ferocious. It can be fun to throw some gasoline on that fire, so earlier this week, threw my hat into the ring with this one:
I thought I’d get a handful of responses from the usual suspects with the occasional zinger. I didn’t expect a deluge of arguments from both sides of the aisle. Here are a few worthy contenders:
THE GOOD
Jeff’s a top bloke, a true car dude, and also happens to edit The Star, which is the Mercedes Club of America’s magazine, which doesn’t necessarily make him wrong. The 500 K is a stunner! But we both know that it would be better in silver.
A solid entry from Tom The Car Pro (who clearly knows what’s up):
This fella, Chris Kerdo, offered up a nice selection of vaguely attractive white cars with a definitive statement:
THE BAD
Corey Lewis 86, however, was less insightful.
The same goes for this here Bugatti Chiron. Sorry Philip, your white car looks nice.
But this is naughty (and that’s better).
THE WTF
There were several terrifically freaky white car entries, the best of which came from the sordid mind of “fall inside a hole”:
And a downright creepy one from Mark Craine (note: if I was gonna lick a car, it sure as hell wouldn’t be this!):
THE VERDICT
That night, I pondered the question over and over. People posted Porsches, M3s, Z cars, and other beautiful examples of white rides, all of which would have been improved by a black wrap. But then, in the middle of the night, I woke up with a start!
Ammiright? She’s so pretty. It could be argued that we’re really dealing with a two-toned situation, and that’s true. But to me, the Bricklin will always look best in white.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? ARE WHITE CARS UGLY?
Weigh in below, or on Twitter (enter that arena at your own risk).
