I dont think its a bright color thing, but it just may be that it just doesnt look good.... on a mav that is because this challanger is just great.... You can call this car gay all day long but im going to call you gay for not loving it. ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
You'd think I would remember by now, that there will always be people who will take my words 100% literal when they can't see my face or hear my voice, no matter how obvious I think I've made it that I'm joking. For those folks... I was in fact joking. I think the color looks good. I do not think the color looks gay. (Can a color even be gay?) I wouldn't paint a car of mine that color no matter how good I think it looks, because I'd get tired of all the jokes from bastards like me who think they're being funny. Paint jobs are expensive and that kind of comment would get old very quickly. However I'd admire the hell out of it on someone else's car. Even flamed. That would look great actually. Now back to what i was saying... Pink cars are for girls and sissy men. You might as well put a rainbow sticker on it, and flames.
gay gay GAY!!!! just kidding... lol I love all the posts so funny. Love that color. No homo. Yes colors can be gay.. on the wrong car. Some cars make you gay no matter what color they are. A Comet Maverick can never be a gay car. Those Challys are bad-ass.. I have a '70 Coronet (yellow). Fuschia?? Bitchin color...It's like a very vibrant purple. That Mav on the 2nd post 1st page is beautiful. Fuschia... I had a hotwheels set when I was a kid and had a metallic purple corvette.. I always loved that color. A far cry from pink. Did you alol know most men are color blind to some extent? The color has to fit the vibe of the car... My Comet is that metallic copertone color.. so 70's. It is called Medium Poly Brown. I love it. The only thing troubling me is you don't know how to spell manly. (you spelled it manely) That's a totally retro flashback color... cool in my book. I'd make sure the car has some horsepower with a color like that though... I don't think even a pink comet/mav could ever be gay. Top 10 Gay Cars; Prius PT Cruiser Miata VW Bug (the new one) Subarus Smart car Honda Pilot RAV 4 Tesla Lotus Exige/Elise Any Hybrid or Electric car
HEY ... watchit mister! I drive a PT Loser ... er ah ... PT Snoozer ... I MEAN PT CRUISER. ... TESLA ROADSTERS ARE BAD ASS! http://www.teslamotors.com/roadster Power curve on an electic motor: ----------------------------------------- Full power available at ALL RPMs!
Now here we go! Controversy! Prius: Agree. Fully. PT Cruiser: Eh... Depends. I have seen 'em gayed up pretty good but mostly they just blend these days. Miata: A new one? Yeah. But I've seen some older ones with mean engine swaps and suspension upgrades. The Miata is pure sports car, they just made it too damn cute. New Bug. Mostly. But I've seen a blue turbo one on three wheels at an autocross, and I've ridden in it while running from the cops. (We didn't know they were cops) Not gay. Subarus? Nah. I've seen plenty of douchebag WRX/STI owners, but the damn things are fast. EVO is way douchier, and neither are gay. Smart: Now that's out of line! Calling this car gay is just mean and insulting! (To gay people.) Pilot: Just another plain beigemobile like every other Honda when it hasn't been riced. RAV4: Not very manly, but hardly gay. You're thinkin' of the Tracker. Tesla: No, just, no. Douchey yes, very, and not my type of car at all, but it's a very fast car and it's based on a fine piece of engineering. The... ...Lotus Elise: Are you high? Any hybrid/electric car: Yes, except the Tesla or one of the many blazingly fast home-built electric drag cars out there. But yes, mostly.
I don't have any qualms about guys in pink, I just don't care too much for the color and that is why I don't wear it. If I was part of a benefit though, I probably would. Back to the point though, there is only one car that I would drive in pink and that is a 1970 Dodge Challenger in Panther Pink with the flat black hood, it is sexy enough that I don't care if people decide to poke fun at me driving a pink car.
Just a personal note on the PT Cruiser: We had one for a while. Found out that they had shortened the actual name by leaving out all the letters between "P" and "T". The cars real name is "Piece of $hiT Cruiser. I liked the styling at first, it looked a lot like a 38 Ford sedan. Have seen several flamed and two toned that actually looked sharp. Only thing was Chrysler dropped the ball when it came to the running gear--FWD 4 cylinder. Should have been a V8 rear wheel drive car, but then it would have to have been a bit larger. So in essence it turned out to be a throw away car. Buy one, use it up, throw it away because it's not worth anything on the resale market. IF it last's until it's paid for, mine didn't. To get back on topic on this pink vs purple thing, I say it depends on the car and the paint if it looks good or not. I saw a 05-08 Black Mustang the other day with pink GT stripes. Funky to me. Chick car, a girl was driving it. I guess it was what she wanted. Only pink cars that I ever thought looked good was the pale "Mary Kay" pink Caddy's and early Mustangs [or were the Mustangs Playboy pink, I can't remember?]. I'd ride in one of them, but not drive it, especially by my self! The Plum Crazy color is cool on the old Challengers. Chrysler and Ford both had some cool colors back then you either loved or hated. One of the regulars at one of the cruises I go to has a Plum Crazy Challenger, it is sharp. I even liked "Sub Lime" and I don't like anything green except money and grass! I know this has been rather wordy, but my advice is pick what ever color YOU want your car, and go with it. Nobody but you has to like it. I chose yellow for mine, I like it, and that's what is important!
sorry im a little late on this, imagine pulling up with a Ultra Voilet purple Maverick at your first round up... "is this car going to be accepted as a manly car or are you going to catch a load of $h!t because of picking this color"... all i can say is good thing it was quick enough to get respected lol worked out pretty well for me... as far as would i drive a Maverick painted that color, hell yeah I would catch all kinds of attention.... just my opinion....
Purple70: Is your maverick/comet purple? Like I said, I am having mine painted this winter. I like purple, but I am not sure if a purple mav would be the look I am going for. Hell that's part of my problem, not sure what I want. I am trying to decide between purple and keeping it red. Thew this together to help me make a decision. Hope the owner of the purple comet doesn't mind.
I saw a pale pink T-bird convertible cruisin down the road with the top down a few months back and it looked awesome! I would have been proud to own that car. Of course pale pink and furious fuscia are very different pinks and a T-bird and a maverick are very different cars. A maverick can not be painted pale or hot pink(IMO). Furious fuscia ... maybe.

see now that is ok it's got red highlights and I think it might be flip flop metallic it really pops in a good way. not to mention it's my favorite year camaro I had 2 one brown and one grey primer both were beaters. My brown 70 had dual quads tunnel rammed 350/350 with a detroit locker and 4 speed. The car that earned me the most career tickets.
