International House Of Pinkies
The affliction for pink cars knows no bounds, and TTAC’s word-wide correspondents hunt them down. Here is a small selection of pinkies that arrived in our pink mailbox at shootthepink@gmail.com. North Bay, Ontario, is populated by people with eclectic tastes – for pink Hondas.
Here is another one, sent in by Andre.
Long time Shoot the Pink contributor Gimmeamanual bagged this pink Caddy outside the Novotel in Pudong, Shanghai.
All the way from Panama comes this pink Ecosport, bagged by Edsantos. According to Ed, pink was the “theme color” for Ford’s importer.
Says Ed: “The company that represented Ford in Panama is now competing with another Ford seller. This is why American cars don’t sell here.” Maybe the choice of theme colors has something to do with it also.
If that rhapsody in pink gave you the itch to go on a pink trip – here is the taxi that will take you to the airport, bagged by Dewey Steadman.

Saw the pink Caddy in Shanghai on the road, couldn't get a picture, glad someone caught it.
A friend interviewed for an IT job at the corporate headquarters of Mary Kay in Addison, TX. We continually teased him about having to drive a pink car if he took that job. Mary Kay Ash and the pink Cadillac http://www.the33tv.com/news/kdaf-pink-cadillac-story,0,620960.story
