Default Interlagos Fire Description???

Ok Interlagos Fire guys...we know the color is bad ***, but what the hell do you say when asked the color of your car? You know...you are filling out a form and they need to identify your car. You give them the license plate # and then get to the color.....

When it is in person I plan on saying, "Uhhhh....What time is it?"

So, what do you say?

Good question!

Seriously, I asked the salesman the same question when I looked at one.

I guess I would describe it as "metallic brown". . .


All best,

So far I have heard....

Coppery Brown
Cabernet
Merlot (Yeah...irish family that's why the alcohol references)
Burgandy
Purple

I picture the following in my head. You write down brown. The sun is no longer shining when they go to get your car....the guy comes back after wandering the parking lot for an hour. He says to his boss, "Nope...no brown Z's out there. I guess its gone."

It's a fun but silly problem to have.

Burgundy. Brickyard has purple while Interlagos has more of a brownish tint to it.

Purple/Rootbeer. For the most part I will put down purple when i do a decdription of it but when i changes i think it looks like a rust/rootbeer look. I have actually had a lot of people compliment me on the color and Rootbeer as the color seems to come up more than any other.

I wonder if you can get out of parking tickets this way.

I've always meant to look on my registation to see what they put. So, I looked and under color it says /

So that is what I'll put

Any other IF owners have something different??

They call it Plum Brandy in Canada? Not the manliest of names for a colour.

Yes, I find it hard to tell other people about the color of my Z too, but never thought it would be a problem at the valet parking though.....cuz I haven't been to one since I had the car. But I always have fun while trying to explain the color to people. Also, I don't think pictures are doing the justice for I.F., they look way more amazing in person, however, those pictures you took are actually more decent than mine. Mine just always appear purple and can't really tell how "unique" the color really is.
