There were a couple of dark red to burgundy and a couple of green - one

dark olive and the other acqua for lack of a better choice. I think 1 white
one.

Cannot recall the last vehicle - might have been a 2nd white one.

Do not know if this is indicative of vehicles as a whole or not.

If so, we have become a drab bunch.

My car was included in the grey bunch as I am driving the Honda Civic I

bought from my mother. However, I have the dark red Mercedes and the ruby
red F150 at home and my wife's car is blue but on the blue-grey side of
blue. If I had purchased the Honda Civic new, it would not have been the
slate grey color.

[clay via Mercedes]

I went to BC Stars show and shine.  I think Canada got the bulk of the green 
late model W124.  There were two sedans and a cabriolet all in green livery.  I 
had not seen more than one green car of that era in the past 15 years.  That 
three were in attendance was odd.

Re: [MBZ] what color is your daily driver?

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

When we went to the Raastat MB plant in 2003, you could have any color 
you wanted, as long as it was black or silver.  Red has been lost 
because the gestapo pulls over red cars just for being red.  Green is 
out because the PC crown labels you as greedy.  Yellow, well pardner, 
nobody wants ta be called Yellah!  THat leaves blue.  I don't know why 
blue has faded away.  in the 70s and earlier, we had all colors, even 
Plum Crazy.  In the 80s, the bright colors went away.  In the 90s and 
beyond, we have indeed been a drab nation, only without olive drab as a 
choice.  Olive drab with a gloss is actually a nice color!


I admit, I only want a silver van.  In MBs, I like most of the blues,  
the smoke silver, the burgundy and I will tolerate, but dislike the 
whites.  A yeller or cream 123 is nice.  The green that is an analog to 
Midnight blue is nice too.




Randy Bennell via Mercedes 
September 12, 2016 at 4:37 PM
I came back to my office this afternoon after a trip to the bank.

I counted 29 vehicles in the parking lot behind the building and noted 
that 23 of the 29 were black, grey or silver.


There were a couple of dark red to burgundy and a couple of green - 
one dark olive and the other acqua for lack of a better choice. I 
think 1 white one.


Cannot recall the last vehicle - might have been a 2nd white one.

Do not know if this is indicative of vehicles as a whole or not.

If so, we have become a drab bunch.

My car was included in the grey bunch as I am driving the Honda Civic 
I bought from my mother. However, I have the dark red Mercedes and the 
ruby red F150 at home and my wife's car is blue but on the blue-grey 
side of blue. If I had purchased the Honda Civic new, it would not 
have been the slate grey color.

Subject: [MBZ] what color is your daily driver?

I came back to my office this afternoon after a trip to the bank.

I counted 29 vehicles in the parking lot behind the building and noted that 23 
of the 29 were black, grey or silver.

There were a couple of dark red to burgundy and a couple of green - one dark 
olive and the other acqua for lack of a better choice. I think 1 white one.

Cannot recall the last vehicle - might have been a 2nd white one.

Do not know if this is indicative of vehicles as a whole or not.

If so, we have become a drab bunch.

My car was included in the grey bunch as I am driving the Honda Civic I bought 
from my mother. However, I have the dark red Mercedes and the ruby red F150 at 
home and my wife's car is blue but on the blue-grey side of blue. If I had 
purchased the Honda Civic new, it would not have been the slate grey color.

Re: [MBZ] what color is your daily driver?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I'm thinking (dreaming) of a Suzuki Vitara/Sidekick or Chevy (Geo) Tracker with 
a TDI engine in it. Turn up the power a bit on the TDI to the 120-130hp range 
which will give around 200lb-ft of torque. 31" tires, rear diff locker since 
nobody makes one for the front. Probably a winch when funds become available, 
I've already got a high lift jack but I'd build a bumper compatible with it...
Should have decent power and reasonable (for what it is) fuel economy. Need a 
Toyota v6 pickup transmission to handle the torque of the engine, it'd rip the 
little Suzuki trans to shreds.

Don't forget to put a winch on both ends.
A friend had a big 4X4 with oversize tires etc and a big winch on the 
front but said he would give up the rest in favour of the winch if he 
had to choose. he said the winch saved him a number of times.
We had a 95 4Runner with oversized tires and my son had thoughts of 
making it an offroad vehicle. It would have needed some sort of quality 
aftermarket clutch as the clutch was a weak link.

My Jetta is white which follows in a line of 2 other white 4 cylinder manual 
transmission diesels, the other two were MB 240Ds.
Angie's Jetta is dark blue, the pickup is silver. When I bought the pickup I 
kind of complained about the silver being boring, the guy told me the easiest
