WTF is a DTR?

DTR is shorthand for Dark Torreador Red - the color of the very finest Marauders. It was offered in 2004 only. Gotta run, here come the flames!

Gotta run, here come the flames!Dark toreador red is not even a real color, its a made up crayon name....now BLACK... thats a color. When a girl asks what kind of car you drive and you say a Black Marauder, that is an I.P.R. fo' sho'

Black is the ABSENCE of color.

From Websters:
The achromatic color value of minimum lightness or maximum darkness; the color of objects that absorb nearly all light of all visible wavelengths; one extreme of the neutral gray series, the opposite being white. Although strictly a response to zero stimulation of the retina, the perception of black appears to depend on contrast with surrounding color stimuli.

Also from Websters:

Soiled, as from soot; dirty: feet black from playing outdoors.
Evil; wicked: the pirates' black deeds.
Cheerless and depressing; gloomy: black thoughts.
Being or characterized by morbid or grimly satiric humor: a black comedy.
Marked by anger or sullenness: gave me a black look.
Attended with disaster; calamitous: a black day; the stock market crash on Black Friday.
Deserving of, indicating, or incurring censure or dishonor: "Man ... has written one of his blackest records as a destroyer on the oceanic islands" (Rachel Carson). Do you really want to be associated with something that is soiled, evil, wicked, cheerless, depressing, gloomy, morbid, marked by anger, attended with disaster or deserving of incurring censure or dishonor?

Just kidding-- all Marauders rock! (Although DTRs rock just a little bit harder...)

[Dragcity]

Funny, hasn't worked on my Frigginn Wife yet (IPR)

But I guess that 'cause she EFFIN HATES ME ! (and all my cars.)

[bradical]

I had one of those. Traded her in on a newer model. Much happier now. (Note: it was an expensive trade, but worth it...)

Black is the ABSENCE of color.

Exactly Black is so dark and mean that it scares the other colors away so there fore there is an absence of them. Thats exactly how I like it. :lol:

WRONG! Black is the PRESENCE of all color while white is the ABSENCE of all color.

Thank you...:rolleyes: We've been over this before...ya, I know.....whatever! ;)

[RF Overlord]

Actually, you're BOTH right...

If you're talking about paint, black is the presence of all colours. If you're talking about light, then it's the absence of all colour.
