It is a tricky question.  I’ve been doing so much preparation and bodywork on the 280Z and have not even gotten it painted yet, but I am already trying to decide which color to paint the bus when its day comes around.  I think that there is definitely an art to choosing a car’s color — certain hues and shades only work well on certain body styles, and some of these seem to work particularly well for a certain car.  Any thoughts or suggestions?  Which do you like?

I’m waiting for this diesel-think WVO-electric hybrid with solar-panel supplemental power, 200 h.p., and live-aboard design with aesthetics that parallel the original VW bus.

Visit the Verdier website for more information.  This enigmatic green machine is apparently still in development but has already won several design awards.  Perhaps one day in a semi-distant future, I’ll be taking it somewhere fun when I’m not sailing somewhere else.
