yea Eddy,

I was at Prestige today just to look at colors. Thinking of giving a daughter my MC, selling what she's driving and getting me a new MCS. If i do it, undecided between Eclipse Grey and White Silver...with black roof.

Pictures of the White Silver won't do it justice, you're smart in going to see it in person, it gets my vote! the day after I brought the car home, saw the color in the sunlight, fell in love. It's so distinct, unique, different in every lighting. And plus, it hides the dirt/salt sooo well from the winter roads up here. I've seen someone in my town driving around in a '11 S, white silver, black bonnet stripes, looks so sweet with either the 17'' Conical Spoke, or Infinite Stream Rims.

Here's a picture of the new baby. It's got the automatic (my commute isn't very stick shift friendly), dual moon roof, climate control, heated seats.

I hope this doesn't sound horrible creepy, BUT, I had to ask,
trewm, you weren't getting off of rte 208 this afternoon on the Maple Ave exit in Glen Rock were you? I was on maple ave and I couldn't see too well with the rain and a few cars in front of me, but I did see chili red/white roofed cooper with the stock rims-I'm pretty sure it was a 2011 based on the tail lights which again I couldn't see too well given my distance away, but I thought of your thread which I had posted on not long ago and knew that you were not far away in NJ.

Not me. I think red is a popular color as I've seen quite a few. I was busy negotiating the flood waters coming up Rt 57 through Washington and Hackettstown and then heading east on Rt 46.

Yes, the Chili Red is a popular color (was my second choice), although I've seen most of them with a black top. I had only thought of this thread because it was the first chili red 2011 (or so I thought) I had seen, and identical to the picture you had posted.
On another note the flood waters suck!, although my area is very fortunate compared to others.. Thankfully its warming up around here though!, hopefully I'll be able to give mine a nice wash this weekend

Why are you trying to interject yourself into a conversation between two people who might or might not have seen each other?
