Default Gals on the SC430 forum

Ok.. Just curious..I know there must be other gals out there with SC's on the forum, but, I must confess I do not remember seeing anyone else post..

Any idea how many SC430 's driven by gals on our forum?

Lisa, do you find the black interior gets too hot, or does it tend to be more prone to cracking because of the color or heat?

At some point I may get a newer one.. and the black interior would be my choice.

hahaha...its been awhile huh..

katy, the black is nice...but honestly i have to get the windows tinted b/c it gets so hot here in modesto...besides..i dont get to drive it very often. i can honestly say that the last year, i have maybe put less than 50 miles on it. the leather on it is still very nice, last year i did a good detail job on the leather and left this leather stuff on it for days and it totally soften up the leather great. but i love just black cars..its so nice but a pain to keep clean.

Agreed on keeping the car clean.. but I love the dark colors when they are clan. I use my California duster every day.My pine color looks just like black un til the sun is on it.

I assume that guys can read this thread?
if so, here's a link that addresses 'black v. white.'
this study also separates exterior paint from interior
temp. differences.
first, read the 'executive summary' at top:

Cool! Thanks for posting. Looks like my pearl white SC is one of the coolest, both literally and figuratively!

This has been a fun thread!

Jimmer.. thanks for the great post.. I suspected black was maybe a little hotter, but its neat to know the real statistics ( love the numbers stuff).

I have to say, with all the talk about the SC being a " girls car", we have lots of great guy contributors, but only a few gals..

I have always been a car person..so this forum has been wonderful for me.

Katy
