Because I value more the praticality involved in paint maintenance, which is why I choose silver over white despite it being too common. In this country, it is not safe to stand out.

Besides, white is a difficult color to maintain esp. if you want it to retain that "brand new look" for years to come. White gets stained easily and it becomes very evident when one does not wash/maintain their car regularly. Just look at the new Chevy Optra patrol cars of the Manila police parked along UN ave or those roaming the streets and you'd know why. :D
