<VV> Re: Maroon w/red

Everyone is entitled to their particular tastes. It's just that, for 
some reason, red and maroon just don't quite go together, despite their 
being of the same "red" family. At least the factory had second thoughts 
about it, and having seen a car with that combo, I'd tend to agree. Not 
bad, but not exactly complementary. Just my opinion. That and a quarter 
will get you a cup of coffee, as they say.
