Thinking Monaco?

Brady1984 · 03-24-2009, 07:12 PM

I ordered my 1er before I had ever seen Monaco in person, since then I have learned a-lot about Monaco Blue

1) Monaco is not black: It does not shine like black but it sure as hell gets dirty like black

2) Monaco is not crimson: It does not turn heads or scream out look at me but it does grab attention

3) Monaco is not SGM: It does not hide dirt but it does look different every time you see it

4) Monaco is monaco: Despite not being a sparkling or bright color that will hide dirt, fingerprints, pollen, dust or even anti-matter it gets attention for all the right reasons. I think monaco is the most stealth color but when you notice it, it's something special. Even though it takes the effort of a black car to look good and you don't get the same type of wow a black car has screw it; everyone has a black car. Discerning eyes prefer monaco.

Plus I just got my windows tinted

I went ahead and got 20%, with such a dark color car and the sport trim I thought it looked right, 35% seemed too light for me. I have several other pics of the tint but I think this one shows what it looks like in real life.

Beautiful car! Congrats on actually getting Monaco Blue! LOL
I really wanted it but needed a car and couldn't wait 2 months to order my own...

Brady1984 · 03-24-2009, 10:55 PM

I suppose it will remain a dream....LOL

penny · 03-25-2009, 08:59 AM

Amen. First Monaco I've seen with a tint.

matt · 03-25-2009, 09:02 AM

5) Monaco is f*cking awesome

BlackjackMulligan · 03-25-2009, 09:46 AM

Gorgeous color, no doubt

YEP...I have to agree...Monaco is beautiful, but SGM rules.

/\ /\ Beautiful PURPLE hue! /\ /\

J/K it's a nice color

Brady1984 · 03-27-2009, 08:13 AM

I think that SGM is beautiful (beautiful like the runner up at the miss UP Michigan padgent; close but no cigar). I did want SGM until it was discontinued, the thing is that since I got Monaco I didn't really think about it anymore (sort of like an old girlfriend) SGM looks nice but it's no Monaco...oh,zing!

Oh is that SGM? I thought it was a deep-space picture of the UNIVERSE....see we are merely a visual representation of the beauty of the Universe..

I am being so juvenile...LOL

Brady1984 · 03-27-2009, 05:13 PM

There are so many topics where people get way to serious, I think debating the merit of one color over another is fun; I mean everyone has pretty much been doing it since kindergarten LOL
