Shoot The Pink: Elise Does Dallas
Don’t mess with this Texan pinko. Writes reader Red5:
“This travesty of both the eye and Collin Chapman was seen by me parked outside a restaurant in a section of gentrified Oak Cliff in Dallas Tx. The picture doesn’t do justice to just how big those color matching wheels are.”
PS: Frau Schmitto-san, our in-house specialist for the graphic arts, calls the color “cherry pink, an American pink.”:

Colin may be more offended by the misspelling of his name. ;)

I would drive that car. Assuming that the color on my monitor is representative of it in real life...
If this is anything close to real life, this looks like that anodized aluminum pink finish on vintage aluminum cups and such from probably the 50's and yet, still available today. An interesting color to say the least, the car itself, not so much. At least it's a way better color that flat finished pink 250Z up further in the posts thread for the day.
