Maybe my perception is skewed, but I swear I see more of these in purple than just about anything:

When I think purple car, I think of the TVR Tsucan with that absurd metallic/opalescent paintjob you could get with it.

But going through an image search not many of them are actually purple so maybe I'm crazy.



But that one is definitely purple.

Purple was the only color available for the Speed 6 and Speed 12 in Gran Turismo 2 :eng101: (probably because the PS1 couldn't render the chameleon paint effect). They will forever be purple in my imagination

The "reflex" purple that xzzy and I posted cars in is common on later TVRs, but they did a "normal" purple as well:

I'm sorry but I don't believe you. That car doesn't look like it was designed by a madman or attacked with an axe (by the same madman), it can't be a TVR.

Guys, I convinced my 60 year old mother to buy a 2000 Subaru 2.5 RS with everything done to it that it needed to have done.

She loves it.

Most AI mother ever.

E: "Getting about 27 MPG, and the kid working at Arby's drive through said "I really like your car."

Driving it cross town for her to drop off her rental, I would get in all the trouble in this car.

Head gaskets done before they could go nuclear, heads machined, rod bearings didn't need done because heads got taken care of before they could get washed, cv's are sound, driveshaft is sound. IDK about the wiper linkage though lol. Stock ride height. Is gonna need new shocks in about 500-1k though.

I still can't believe Ford did this:



Also, there are no good pictures of Mystic or Mystichrome Cobras on the internet. I'm assuming that at this point, they're all owned by rednecks with five teeth and no idea how to use a digital camera.

I have this nagging doubt that Chameleon was ever a factory colour option for a Mustang. Was it? Because that looks a lot like DuPont Chameleon to me and afaik it is still stupid expensive.

Theres a local guy with a paintjob like that, but I know his car didn't come originally like that. He did it himself since he works at a paint shop. Looks good, except for the bodykit.
