QotW: Which JNC looks most proper in red?

The color red is most closely associated with Ferraris, Alfas, and other Italian cars. Former head of GM Performance John Heinricy once said, “All Corvettes are red, the rest are mistakes,” and they even titled a book based on that quote. There’s the old joke whenever someone has a red sports car that the color is “arrest-me red”. While many JNCs look good in red, in all honesty we think very few look their best in red. For example, the Honda S600 often comes in red, but is it the best color for the S600? Well, that would probably be white, albeit with a red interior. Are there any cases in which red is best possible color for the car?

Which JNC looks most proper in red?

The most entertaining comment by next week will receive a prize. Scroll down to see the winner of last week’s QotW, “What would you do without a car?“.

The question last week was just a thought exercise, because not having a car isn’t possible even if we wanted it to be, which we don’t. Most comments said the car would be replaced by some sort of two-wheeled vehicle. For StreetSpirit and Ian G. it was a scooter. For Franxou it was an electric bike, and for Taylor C. it was a mountain bike. TheJWT would ride motorcycles, but only in fair weather.

As it happens, major cities in Japan are places where you don’t need a car at all. Negishi no Keibajo survived on trains and a bicycle in Tokyo. crank_case did the same in Europe. Perhaps that’s a blessing, because it allows you to get a real impractical driver’s car and not a compromised daily.

In many places it’s not possible to survive without a car, as ynori, BlitzPig, and Kyuusha Corner attested to. JJ would be forced take a cab or walk, while Land Ark would suddenly have a lot of free time.

Not having a car would save a lot of money, but would your life be any richer? The winner this week was Ben E, who has his priorities straight:

I’d save up all that money I’d normally spend on fuel and car parts, and buy a car.
