Yellow is such an emotive colour on a car, or so it seems.
I have seen numerous posts on why you should never buy a yellow car, horrid colour, hard to repair etc
But people do buy them, clearly. Otherwise they wouldn't exist on the roads.
I must confess to dismissing the very thought of the 4200 I bought when I first saw it on line. My wife said don't buy it but relented to the extent that "it's your money, do want you want".
When I went to see it I was shocked at how bright the yellow is, and I wasn't sure it was for me. But something kept pulling me back to it. And after a long test drive and several hours of comparing with other 4200's I went home with her; albeit with that slight nagging doubt in the back of my mind.
But, over the following weeks I really came to love the colour. Not only is the Maserati a rare car, but a yellow one is rarer still. I think I have the only Maserati in Shropshire, although there may be one other (silver) hiding away. But I certainly have the brightest, loudest and most elegant and easily recognisable car ever to grace the school run!
And 8 months in and without a single missed beat, I am totally in love. Despite me becoming a Maserati hypercondriac feeling like it's got to break sometime, doesn't it? Every day is a delight, and yellow, red, blue, silver or black (and every shade in between), they are all fantastic cars and we should live the moment, as often as possible.
So race without racism, when safe to do so of cause.
