Unless you have sunglasses on! I was just looking out the window at my car here at work and now all I can see are spots! GM Arctic White is a dangerous color on sunny days!:willy:

even my 87 GTA, which was the darker shade of arctic white, was hell on my eyes on nice sunny days.

Amen brotha! That's the color my Monte is painted. It's been sitting on the driveway for a few months now though while I finish the engine swap, so she ain't too clean. I won't go blind yet. :)

Also hellish is Torch Red. I used to have a Torch Red '96 Olds Cutlass coupe, and that thing was damn bright in the sun.

How many times have we driven up over a small hill and had an on-coming car reflect the sunlight off the windshield... at 80mph? Talk about dangerous.

I envy you Jeff. While I have my desk next to a window, I just stare at the overgrown limbs of a pine tree swaying in the breeze. After a large lunch while staring at the hypnotic swaying of trees, I feel... like... sleeping.... ::Snooze::

haha no not at all. My car (even though the paint isnt the best) is very hard to tell when its dirty. Yeah behind the wheels gets road grime and lotsa rubber debris all the time on my car. For some reason out of the cars I own the birds crap on the Camaro the most. They only crap on the Chevelle right after I wash it and its always on the convertible top.

I don't have a window seat, I was walking by the back door here at work and I just looked out into the parking lot. I was thinking "I don't want to sell this car" and staring at it when I turned around to walk away and couldn't see anything other than spots!

No. I just sent in the payoff for the loan so I can get the title and then I'll be working on getting it sold. So I have 3 weeks to enjoy it but the 1970 SS396 will be here by then so I'll have plenty of stuff to do.
