Perhaps if you show up tomorrow for lunch, you can convince me otherwise. As of now, my picking is such:

Gregio Alloy with Navy dash/doors/underdash/steering - all with white stitching, navy carpets, blue top, white seats with blue piping (it's actually cream seats, but they're close enough).

Other than black or tan, what would you suggest Greg?

You know, after seeing the movie, The Parent, the alloy with bourdeax(blood red) looks GREAT. In that movie Nicholas Cage had a 550 that colour and it was awesome. It would look just as good on a 360 as well. Why don't you take a digital photo of any 360 and you can then colour it how you want to see what the variouis combos will look. Have fun !

Correction, the name of the movie was Family Man not the parent.

And yes, I've seen that.. Red is too cliche, and yellow was my choice for a very long time (with black interior and yellow piping), but that's ridiculously flashy.
hello!!!! your getting a 360? ridiculously flashy, sorry i think it already is . and i agree with greg about the white seats, look a little pimp daddy like. listen bob, your young, have a little fun man. get yellow, stop being an old foagey imo. BLUE is beautiful, tasteful, and refined and eloquent (sp?). come on now, get a yellow, you gotta haul in those women, and dont even tell me that there is no intrinsic woman factor in this, when i was 19 i would of sold my soul to the devil for a yellow ferrari to compensate for my small ummmm, well ummm, shoe size to attract the girls, if you dont feel the same, you gotta get a gallon bottle of viagra.

not to promote promiscuety (sp) to much. but go out, get laid in your nice new to be YELLOW 360, and have a little fun. you have your whole life to get BLUE colored cars. personally, only from my own opinion, i think you will look back and kick youself in the *** about getting such a modest color on such an aggressive car at such a wonderfully young age, especially as your tastes and age and 'mature' status keeps on growing, and one day you may look and find yourself with little choice or feel out of place as getting such a funky colored car, maybe. Now you are young, and still can fit it well. you old *** fogey . i think you are one of the luckiest person's imo, i think you have much much more fun with these cars when you are young and free, as opposed to when you get older and older, and have more and more stresses introduced into your life. trust me if you think you have stresses now, see yourself at 29, then 39, etc. it usually only gets worse. what i would of done to have the m5 or 911 at teh age of 18,, ooooooo man. I had a ball at that age anyway, wouldnt give it up for nothing, and women are dumb and plentiful at that age also ( sigh). but holy ****, with a 360, o man, that would of broken the woman damn and i would of had a womanfall on my hands (dreaming). bob, go to it, just to hear the stories from you would be wonderful..... get yellow you old ***.

Damn Faisal! Gregio Alloy is YOUNG! I'm not taking the old-man color. My original spec was going to be Fly Yellow with Black interior with Yellow piping. A killer, yes, but cmon, have you SEEN a yellow 360? They look like Macro Machines.

I'm going in today to see how the daytona seats look with natural/blue. I'm still not sure about the white, but the navy might be nice.

--Dan

P.S. This car isnt' compensation, it's a complement to the whole package. Yet another layer to the cake.

Pubjabi? Damn man, I'm gonna fly out there to show you a thing or two!

As for the car, yeah yeah, I think i'll go with the original spec. It IS a ferrari, and as much as I think Yellow looks kinda like a toy (which it is, come to think of it), I'll prolly end up with my original spec:

Fly Yellow with Black interior all the way (top included) and yellow piping on the seats. After all, subtlety is for a certain debadged Jet Black beauty.

Happy?

I agree with Fais. Yellow with black is the bomb! Now we easterners aren't all as whacky as that Faisal character. Hey Fais, I've seen you and you can't be that far away in age as Dan-O? What's all this talk about shoe-size, Viagra and compensation? Let's get to the heart of the matter and talk about why all of us here really love sticks instead of automatics!
