Happy Friday everyone!

My wife and I were on our bikes today enjoying the twisties out in the country. We blew by a remote prison that we go by all the time. I casually looked toward the parking lot and saw a black car from the rear with a red Honda badge. I looked closer for the tall rear air dam to ensure it was not a poser and it was not. we turned around, rode in, dismounted and checked it out. Was dirty as heck, but it confirmed my decision to lock in the black CTR that is en route to the dealer now. all of the black aero bits blend right into the black paint so the car has a smoother, continuous, unbroken look as your eyes move across it. All the other colors (especially white) just don't work in this regard. They make the car look like a large scale Erector Set.

I was taken with how BIG the car is, especially the width with the wider front and rear fenders. the carbon rocker panel treatment around the bottom of the entire car with the red pin stripe gives the car a serious track appearance. the front end looks fabulous from any angle. The rear view is great as well. I don't particularly care for the profile look of the car in any color, but that's a small niggle.

My wife confirmed that black is THE CTR color, no contest. It will certainly put my amateur detailing skills to the test (I have had plenty of practice on my black Mini JCW for 4 years though).

great looking car........and my phone is STILL not ringing yet.....

A couple nice ones from @shotsbylud. This was at a charity car show a couple weeks ago. I can't wait for Cars & Coffee this weekend in Dayton.

Black cars look so good in the rain!
