I do wish they offered those cool colors on the cheaper models just so I'd get to see them more often though.

Don't let the colorblind guy try to figure out colors. :)

Apparently the '70-71 models actually had a 'Panther Pink' color. The more you know.

Shop around the corner from me had a 1970 Plum Crazy Challenger in a few weeks ago. I almost was tempted to offer my T-Bird as a down payment. Luckily(?) my wife was there to talk me out of it.

Pretty much what veedub said I think. All the Red Bull people I've seen handing cans at my university have been hot girls, and it seems like a very low-stress thing, considering that most uni students like free stuff and Red Bull, making free Red Bull a very easy "sell". Raises brand presence, they make money, uni students get free Red Bull. The Minis they use don't even look particularly ugly.

No photo since it was dark... but saw the remnants of what had been a very clean E30 convertible (been seeing it driving around my area for a few years now) that had the front end obliterated in a crash in an intersection. Given that I drove by the scene before cops had even arrived and it was the only car there, I suspect someone else turned left in front of it and then ran.

It will now be a very clean parts car. :smith:

Our local MB dealership has a fleet of VW Routan courtesy vans with the VWs emblems replaced with Mercedes stars.

And I just saw a New Beetle with an actual front grille. Like not the under the bumper inlet grille, but an actual chrome grill surrounding the VW emblem, parallel to the headlights. Yeesh.

Nope, Australia. Came as a big surprise to see them all the way over here being used for Red Bull promos. They used to have little utes with a golf tournament cheque-sized Red Bull can in the back. Now it's all sexy old Vovos.

EDIT - I just found out from a workmate that Red Bull is actually a bit naughty. Only a very few are actually Suggos. The majority are modified Land Rover Pumas. I had noticed there were differences between the cars, but had never been close enough to get a good look before.

Not a Volvo:

Well the Routan is just a rebadged Chrysler from the era Mercedes was ruining them, so its not that far off.

So I guess those small lovely cars are entry level.

Saw this driving into work yesterday. Possibly the only acceptable use for the pink Texas plates I suppose.



For those too lazy to click through to bigger, the plate reads 'PANTHR'. I thought the Panther platform was a completely different car/manufacturer.

It's a throwback to the old Chrysler color Panther Pink, called Furious Fuchsia. They made like 3,000 R/T's and 1,000 SRT8's in that color, and it's decidedly awesome.

Nope. Though oddly my Mopar accessories mirror advertisement that was hanging in my truck displays a Panther Pink Daytona Ram. I like mine in Go ManGo!, but holy gently caress would I have bought the poo poo out of a Panther Pink version.
