Help me chose my color, red or black?

Aside from the extra pain of getting it to look good, black gets mighty hot down south. Probably not a consideration to you.
That is not really too much of a problem. Out of curiousity, a friend of mine put thermometers inside the back windows of his two cars- a black Charger with black interior and a B5 blue Road Runner with a white interior. By late afternoon the black car was at 116 degrees and the blue one was 112. Not a difference you would ever notice.
