I don't know, there are like no white cars on the dutch road. Cept for some buissness vans. I do think it looks good on a skyline, but thats it. Its just so bland.
It just doesn't look right to me.

Not many people in Greece like their cars white. I think its really practical during summer (cause it keeps the car cool) but really lousy in winter/fall (cause white sucks when unclean...)

Jostyrostelli: Binary is a numeric system that only uses 0 and 1...
so the binary 10 IS the decimal 2, thats the whole point of the sig. You must be in the 2nd category images/smilies/wink.gif

OFF TOPIC:
Actually binary is what computers 'understand': Is there electricity passing through the circuit? thats 1. Is there no electricity? thats 0. This is how all calculations are done in your computer.
If you want to learn more about the topic, here are some links:

http://lyzrd.com/binary/binprime.html
http://www.math.grin.edu/~rebelsky/C...nt-binary.html

Cheers!

PS White cars still rule images/smilies/wink.gif

Unlikely for me. I don't remember getting passed in the last two years (except by my buddy on his bike sometimes). images/smilies/twisted.gif
