My first brand new car was a red 1989 Probe GT Turbo. I'd owned some very low mileage used cars before that, but this was my first new car. I was so proud. Until every Probe I saw was also red. Kind of hard to stand out in the crowd. At that point I decided to buy cars with different / distinguishable colors.

I may have to spend a little extra to get the less popular color because of the lack of supply, but I'm willing to do it. To me the extra money I spend at purchase time is well worth the years of satisfaction of having a color I like. And I figure if I'm spending big bucks on a car, why not get a color you like?

The three Porsches I've owned were Lapis Blue, and Orange and Carmon Red. Maybe I'm a narcissist, but I like to be a little bit different.
