I love that black but so hard to keep clean. I have only owned 2 black cars and it broke me from owning another.

Black is a beautiful color on a car, but the maintenance required to keep it that way is just too much. I owned one and swore I would never do it again.
Although that CS is very tempting.

I saw a black one as well driving through a lot. I didn't look at the back, so I didn't realize it was a CS. Get another black one, all your posts will be in the detailing thread.

I considered getting a black Mustang when I got mine because I think the '10-'14's look bada$$ in black, but I didn't want to deal with the headaches of keeping it clean. Blue is my favorite color so I set out to find a DIB car. I may as well have gotten black. Five minutes after I clean it, while sitting in a garage, I can see a layer of dust on it. Drives me nuts.

Holy over engineering! In case you were wondering, this is what a thermostat housing for a Mini looks like. Six water lines coming out of it. Two plug ins.

I ordered a Fuel Pump from Ebay, went to the parts store and got a fuel filter, filler neck grommet. I also went to Atwoods (like Tractor Supply) got a new battery. Hopefully running by next weekend.

Bought my wife a new vehicle last month... she chose black. Ugh, told her I'm not doing any cleaning to it. I will never personally own a black vehicle.

Today made my car louder.
