The Endless Night
I made a grocery run this evening and walking out of the store to my car in the dark, with it sitting there all alone under one of the bright parking lot lights, it looked a very deep midnight blue. You don't always get a chance to appreciate Diamond Black in all of it's permutations but when you catch it just right--under the right lighting conditions and from the right angle--it's a pretty freakin amazing color. Sitting there taking in my car not as the black I always see her in, but as a deep, rich midnight blue car, I was wishing she would always look like that. But when I got her home and into her garage she was back to black again. Oh well, I'll need milk again tomorrow night.

talk about cult car.....
i lied about having a swift for 14 yrs. back in 1992 i was rolling in a new eagle talon tsi awd and tried to trade out for a new black swift but owed too much..........in 2000 i bought a white 1994 and had it shipped from cali. a few months later i bought a black and had it shipped form ohio...........and last year i flew to phoeniz and drove a pristine 1993 back. sweet little rides with more personality than 10 amgs put together. (that's not always a good thing!).

Drop-a-Daimler,
You are right on with those two cars!
I love those two!
It is a shame we cannot import the 2002 to Korea due to regulations on older cars.
The classic car scene here is dead due to idiotic law makers.
Thanks for sharing those pics...

Quicktwinturbo,
I'm working in Korea now.
There aren't that many C32's in Korea.
There are more E55's and E63's than C Class AMG's.
Korean's prefer larger saloons.
How do you know of C32's for sale in Korea? I'd love to know more about them.

When I was in Seoul the closest thing I saw to a recognizable vehicle was a Harley. But I loved the cabs, the Hundyia "CEO". What a name! I did get a great price on a camera though, a new Casio Exilim, down at the Yongsan market. What a zoo. I brought my own calculator to haggle. Worked great.

know the feeling mines is black opal and during the day it looks blue but depending when and how the light hits it at night it looks black one of my favorite colors so far
