What you guys think?

There is a car I am interested on it and so anyways I was thinking about asking you guys and see what you think about it.

I own a white 84 Mazda rx7 Sport that is been great to me and mostly garaged. It pass emission, have new battery, new battery, radiator, AC Convertion to R134, new gas top, new alternator, new full set of coolant hoses, new rotor cap, new rotor, new tires, new cat, new muffler, new radio mp3 player, new infinity speakers and is a 12A that have 123K original miles on it and the body. Just recently got an O2 sensor hole on the collector for future tuning. Paint on it is a great shape just needs a touch here and there nothing major.

Now I came across a red 84 Mazda rx7 GSL which makes me miss my old red car a lot. Anyways, this car the bad it have 200K+ miles on it, doesn’t pass emission and need a alignment. The good it is a GSL with a S4 13B Engine from an 86 FC with around 100K or so on the engine. Good set of rims (panasport I think).

mileage doesnt matter if the rest of the car is maintained. if the price is right and its something you are looking for, go for it.

Most psychologists agree that colors play a very important role in our lives. Our favorite colors and their combinations will sometimes reveal more things about us than we ever thought they would. But, is it the same with the color you chose for your car?

The color of the car has always played an important role in a customer’s choice. So, it’s not weird that there are so many types of the same color today, and that the name ‘blue’ or ‘green’ just isn’t enough. Even the basic nuance of the same color can often differ between manufacturers.

A lot has changed since the time when you could chose only a black T Model, not because it was Mr. Henry Ford’s favorite color, but because no other color could dry as fast as black. Now, new chemical elements are added to speed up the drying process, and manufacturers started to add more colors to their color palettes.

Today, it is believed that the color of your car speaks volumes about your personality and driving habits. Business people would choose cars with darker colors, buses and truck drivers like lighter colors, and sports cars drivers often choose cars with strong staring colors.
From Wikipedia:

"A Swedish study found pink cars safest, with black cars most likely to be involved in crashes (Land transport NZ 2005)."

"An Auckland, New Zealand studies found a significantly lower risk of serious injury in silver cars; with high risks for brown, black, and green cars. (Furness et al, 2003)"
So, according to psychologists, red cars denote those who are full of zest, energy and drive, brave, ambitious and impatient characters, who also think, move and talk quickly. The color red is a synonym for sex, speed, thoroughness and dynamism.

Brown or orange color denotes those who are practical, independent and who like to race. These colors represent sensibleness, time and simplicity.

Yellow cars describe someone who is idealistic and novelty loving, and who is also intelligent and warm.

Green cars indicate someone who is careful and unsociable, but also has hysterical tendencies.

Blue cars are chosen by the imaginative, loyal, and trustworthy people.

Pink cars are chosen by gentle, loving and affectionate drivers. Pink represents creativity and individuality.

Silver and gray cars describe someone who is cool, calm, and slightly aloof and who is prone to criticizing other drivers.

Black cars are chosen by stubborn, disciplined people, who like classic cars and elegance. They are not easy to manipulate.

White cars represent status-seeking, extrovert drivers, who are also optimistic, simple and who you can rely upon.

Of course, every rule has its exception. We need to highlight that judging people by what their car is isn’t some method or rule. For an example, for used cars buyers, far more important is the quality of the car than its color. Women like to choose their color which they think suits the best with car’s body lines.
