We spotted the "Official Vehicle of Timberline Lodge" on the Dec 22 run up Mount Hood. (Photos to be posted as soon as I can upload them).

At first we couldn't tell if it was a white AV or a black one. There was a huge sticker that coveres the rear 2/3s of the AV! Avalanche and NF-girl decyphered that it was indeed a black Z-71.

Check out the link they had plastered on 1/2 of the tailgate: SkiChevy.com

It is commonly known in the automotive paint industry that certain colours are more areodynamic than others and that this closley follows the light spectre. Lack of colour = high resistance and deep colour = low resistance. ?So a white car has more wind resistance on the surface paint than darker colours such as red and black.

But it is a scientific fact that black cars go the fastest out of all the colours.... followed closely by red. ?;)
 
not to mention that nothing even comes close to looking as good in black than ANY other color. >:D

That is all that I spoted of corse if it did have XM Radio the little intena would have been covered in snow and they did not have the window sticker in eather this vehicle was bought from Carr Chevrolet (it should have been Wilsonvill Chevrolet thought)(sorry for spelling)
 
It's easy to see why you couldn't tell whether it was black or white.


Now had it been Red, you would not have had that problem!!!! :love:
 
Fella's...come on....Summit white would be the color of choice.....what would be the dead give away...snow?....summit?.....let's face it....a summit white Av Rules the slopes\\\\.... ;)
 
Yes I do love summit white I like how it looks in the snow but with those cool decals on the side I think a darker color would look better it would make the decals stand out better
