Argabarga Meets Visual Pollution

Well for #3, he could claim he was blinded by the pink. (Revved up like a Deuce, Another Flamingo in the night...)

And of course the rest only works if you're the only one with the Pink car. If it catches on, then everyone will have a Pink car and you're back to square one.

That's the sort of cheery bright thing that goes around the roads....

Didn't Jeremy Clarkson design something like that on Top Gear once?

Around here there used to be a Barbie-pink vehicle with rhinestones glued here and there. It was the company car for the 'erotic lifestyle' shop down the street (which I almost landed a job at before the owner sold it).

Yeah, but it was made out of a red Fiat Panda without any bling, IIRC.

On the other hand, Hammond once lost a bet and had to drive a pink VW Beetle through his hometown... wearing a paper bag over his head

EDIT: Oh, it was a Nissan Micra, actually:

Could be a car associated with a very specific makeup-based MLM that rhymes with Fairy Hay.

There were also window stickers indicating the owner had a preference for Browning Firearms and a predilection for bowhunting. So, while not impossible, that's not very probable in light of a preponderance of the evidence.

There's a construction hire company here that has painted all their trucks/equipment pink, probably to prevent theft and provide decent advertising on the job

[crazylegs]

This is a factory fit option... It's really rather more bright IRL...

I would NEVER have a Pepto pink car like that. Nor a hot pink one. Not even for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Because ye gods, my eyes---!!

Look, you guys can bash the day-glo pink car all you like, but consider this:

4) It's not likely to get stolen, as it stands out too much and no macho car thief is going to want to be seen in a garish girly-pink car!

There are two pink taxis in this town.

One of the cab companies in Key West paints their vehicles pink. I suppose it makes them really easy to see, even when you're falling down drunk.

Maybe they are like that Crestor dude and just REALLY LOVE Pepto.

I read a story once, that back in the early 70s, an AMC dealer found a 1951 Willys ordering book buried in the back room. While leafing through this, he noticed that it included a code for pink paint as a factory color. Just to see what would happen, he ordered a few cars using that paint code, and sure enough, a few weeks later, the truck turned up with a pink Ambassador or whatever. He actually managed to sell the thing, too.

There was also this pink AMX, but buried down in the story it was found that the paint code on that one was 00, which meant custom painted, so that one wasn't part of the order.

SteeleDragon and I saw a pink camo H2 when I was in OK.

Yeah, I've seen a Barbie H2/H3 a couple of times. Admittedly, I think the basic Hummer design is ugly as sin - and not in a good way like the original Humvee - but the Pink just compounds the problem

Oh gods, I'm so very, very sorry. I think we lost one of our female rednecks... err, "country girls."
