Whoops -

I like white because it reflects more sunlight in the summer (but I agree it doesn't help when the car is parked in the sun for hours on end), and it lends an "architectonic" look to the car. What I mean is, the black moulding is in stark contrast to the white paint.

I think 95% of cops are ok, but I always assume I am in the presence of the 5% bad cop, so I tread lightly.
