I really wanted silver or yellow, but I also wanted zero%. I pretty much had to take what I could get. It was either black, white, or red

Hey Dion, where do you spend you time? I drive like 4-5 km to work (20 blocks), and I can/do pass by the following P5s (not including the ones that are moving):

Blue, Blue, Silver, Red, Blue (sometimes), Yellow, Blue. Yes these are all individual cars....

This doesn't count the ones in the lot at NorthHill. Our friend who live 3 blocks from us has a black one, but she's off in New Mexico on work right now.

Sigh, I liked that on our one month road trip through 8 states we saw fewer P5s the entire time than I do in one day between my house and work.
Hey Dale. I ride alot, but now that it is snowing only every once and a while, otherwise sit and read...that's basically it, until I am able to play hockey again...oh can't wait... What do you do?

Add another black P5 to the list.

IMO, taking care of black paint takes more effort and discipline than for any other color. This car is my baby but it's also my daily driver so I have to wash it at least once a week - usually Thursday afternoons so it looks fairly clean for the weekend.

If you're pretty serious in keeping your paintjob looking excellent, visit http://www.autopia.org/forums/index.php . The posters there are crazy about their cars' appearance. When it comes to washing, polishing, waxing, etc. those guys know their stuff.

I have yellow I think!!! If you brush it with your body the water based paint will rub off so please be careful around my car.
