Welcome to Shoot The Pink, where TTACers bag pink cars. The rules can’t be simpler:

  • A car, any car
  • It must be pink

Send your pink trophies to shootthepink@gmail.com. Include some info about what and where. And don’t forget your TTAC screen name.

Daveinchina is first with this very pink Cayman from China:

Pictures of pink Porsche with poorly applied rhinestones probably Swarovsky crystals. Absolutely hideous looking, found in Xujiahui in Shanghai.

Who knows, if there are enough, we might grade them

    I actually don't mind pink cars. It sure breaks up the dull black/white/silver/gray the US seems afflicted with. Sometimes while coming to work I think I'm watching b+w tv..

      Yeah, trying to find a used car in a color seems near impossible. Ended up with a silver one. I would have prefered the unsellable brown.

    Porsche Bismol - "Accept no substitute."

  • TCowner We've had a 64.5 Mustang in the family for the past 40 years. It is all original, Rangoon Red coupe with 289 (one of the first instead of the 260), Rally Pac, 4-speed, factory air, every option. Always gets smiles and thumbs ups.
  • ToolGuy This might be a good option for my spouse when it becomes available -- thought about reserving one but the $500 deposit is a little too serious. Oh sorry, that was the Volvo EX30, not the Mustang. Is Volvo part of Ford? Is the Mustang an EV? I'm so confused.
  • Mikey My late wife loved Mustangs ..We alway rented one while travelling . GM blood vetoed me purchasing one . 3 years after retirement bought an 08 rag top, followed by a 15 EB Hard top, In 18 i bought a low low mileage 05 GT rag with a stick.. The car had not been properly stored. That led to rodent issues !! Electrical nightmare. Lots of bucks !! The stick wasn't kind to my aging knees.. The 05 went to a long term dedicated Mustang guy. He loves it .. Today my garage tenant is a sweet 19 Camaro RS rag 6yl Auto. I just might take it out of hibernation this weekend. The Mustang will always hold a place in my heart.. Kudos to Ford for keeping it alive . I refuse to refer to the fake one by that storied name .
  • Ajla On the Mach-E, I still don't like it but my understanding is that it helps allow Ford to continue offering a V8 in the Mustang and F-150. Considering Dodge and Ram jumped off a cliff into 6-cylinder land there's probably some credibility to that story.
  • Ajla If I was Ford I would just troll Stellantis at all times.
