| I like my 11 year old white car. It’s clean, subdued, and classic. It represents the life style I pursue. |

I know someone who had multiple DUIs by the time he was 40, lost his license for 20 years, and always drove a white car to work because he maintained cops will never pull over a white car. He made his girlfriend, who had chronic MH issues, the legal owner of the cars so they wouldn't pull up his name on license checks. |

Interestingly, I've rented many (maybe not hundreds but several dozen) over the years and never had a white one. I tend to rent (what they consider) the premium or sport cars though. I do LOVE white cars though. I like light interiors too. I really like the white tesla with white interior. I've had golden beige (I know, I never see this color anymore, but it was a honda accord), green, silver, white, pearl white. |

| I don't care so much about car color, and am from the south --where it is preferable to have a white car because of the heat. |

| White is probably my second choice, after black. Call me old fashioned, but I don’t like to buy large expensive things in colors like red and green. |

| What a weird question. I like my white car. What is the “cool” color supposed to be? Black looks like an Uber driver and the rest are fine but white looks clean. |

Live in the Southwest, and everyone drives white cars. Anything darker becomes an oven in the heat.
Also, I had a black car and it was NEVER clean. White paint hides a lot. |

| I took the only Z4 on the lot (white with red interior). Car market is hot, I took what I could get. |

Weird that you’ve never noticed before.

| My white option was the premium option, same with DH’s truck. I like white with black leather, black wheels and accents, blacked out windows. |

White cars tend to scream “privileged” IMO.
A lot of MLMs require their representatives to rent white vehicles for this purpose like Arbonne. ✨ |

I HAD a white car-had bought used, it was white. Moved to Fl and was promptly rear ended and totalled. I quickly and for cash (as I was building a new home) bought a black car with a black interior...it gets soooo hottttttttttttt. Runs great! When I open the door after work to get in, heat waves come out and singe my eyebrows lol. Next car will be lighter colored. |

| The stereotype growing up was that Italians bought white cars. I have no idea where that came from. |

Because it was the only tolerable color in the trim that had all the other features I wanted.
I would not have chosen white, but given that it was the least-worst choice for the car that was otherwise perfect, I'm happy with its increased visibility. |

| My inlaws only buy white cars because they think the dirt is less noticeable. They are completely wrong of course. |
