Today I picked up my new/replacement Y2K IS.  I called the insurance company to make the change, which was only the VIN and color and my annual premium went down $26!  When I asked "how come" she said the black ones are cheaper cause they're slower!  IF I remember correctly when I bought my other IS new, the blue/grey was a couple of hundred dollars more, and she said that was the reason for the difference.  I never would have thought it would make that much difference 12 years later.

I bet she meant slower-because you are older than when you got the first one.
Older people drive/ride slower-even on fast black Valks!
Not me, of course.
