    You're in the minority. Human response to the color red is normally positive and it creates feelings of excitement. It's called 'Resale Red' for a very real reason.

    I like red cars but I've never owned one.

      I used to be antired, but it has grown on me in my old age.

        I like red, but my luck with selling my red vehicles has been the opposite.

        I will say that I wasn't selling them drive-up retail though. But I never plan to sell vehicles that way, so I'll stay away from red.

          Wasn't one of your Forward Look cars red? You might have parted it out or flipped it, it was pretty bad.

            Yeah, I guess you're right. I never drove it, so didn't really consider it. I stripped a bunch of parts and sold the rest to a guy restoring a convertible in Austin.

                    Resale paint job

                    Clean it up really good. Then as an old used car lot friend always said, " The new owner can paint it any color he wants to"

                      I always repaint cars to the original color. I hate looking at cars that were red then painted blue under the hood and jambs are still the original color
