Sandstone wasn't mentioned either, so hopefully that means that I'm not prone for an accident! Actually, I'd guess since it's basically the tan version of the silver and highly reflective it would be low as well?!?

Mine is black, and I can say that I've had more than a couple close calls already in the past 5 months. People are so inattentive. It's amazing what some will do to save 10 seconds of travel time. I thought red would have been more dangerous than the study suggests.

Some buffoon weaving through traffic yaping on his cell...it wouldn't matter if I had neon yellow with hot pink zig zag stripes.

I guess that would explain why a "silver" road ranger passed me in my coach on the right in a single lane road construction at 65 MPH on Interstate 40. I am 70 FT long with my trailer behind me. The construction zone ended 600 feet after he passed. Go figure. I guess It was the silver that made him decide to put his family and him at risk and pass me on the right.
I am saved---- I bought a bright silver HHR. !!!!!!!!!!!!!
