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.
