See a pink car? Shoot it! This glorious metallic pink Hummer comes all the way from Scarborough Ontario, courtesy of Russty1, who says:
“Partly why I love this car is the complete incongruity of a macho military-inspired vehicle in this extremely over-the-top nail-polish colour. Also if you’re going to do it, do it right – the quality of the paint job is extraordinary, it’s not just metallic but seems to have contrasting paint coats that create an amazing effect in the sunlight.”
“Michigan has a surprising number of pink cars,” writes gimmeamanual, most likely from Michigan. This shockingly pink Mustang was hunted down on Craigslist.
The pink Cadillac pickup was bagged by gimmeamanual’s wife at a Toby Keith concert at Pine Knob.
“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,” writes Mark Bayer from Texas.

Two in the pink, one in the…
Awwww heck, nevermind…
I saw a pink car about a month ago in milwaukee. It was a smart car, pink, with HELLO KITTY wrap.
The license plate said “HELO KTY” IIRC.
Was Paris Hilton driving it?
Travesty? Hah! Real cars – like real men – wear pink, and make it look good.
The Mustang is the odd one out here; I feel it would offer a better overall appearance by sporting some dark grey or white contrasting bits, such as the air scoops and tail light housings.
How many of these had stickers for Mary Kay cosmetics on them?
I saw a Furious Fuscia Dodge Challenger on the way to work yesterday. I thought it looked pretty cool.
Isn’t that Panther Pink?
That last one looks like a Hot Wheels car in full size.
Pink car? Why do I always think high maintenance woman?
Have no idea why a pink car would mean a high-maintenance woman. Known several women and girls whom I’ve been friendly with and most had paid for the paint jobs with their own money to state their independence.
However will say everytime I see a high-lifted, super 4×4 pickup truck I think ‘man with severe case of short-man’s-disease’.
Mary Kaye Cars
I’ve already seen a couple Chevrolet Sparks in ‘techno pink’. IMHO bright, cheerful, trendy paint colors are the worst thing you can do to a gawky, overstyled hatchback. They just make the car look cheap and dated.
Which automaker offers the best range of colors? I say Porsche
Audi for sure. They are the most sympathetic to the colorblind.
Audi and Porsche both offer the option of any colour you want, from any palette, as long as you’re willing to pay the (substantial) fee for a custom paint colour. The same option is offered by a number of other premium and luxury manufacturers.
Outside of the custom paint colours, Audi’s, BMW’s and Mercedes’ standard colour palettes are, at least in North America, largely limited to a spectrum of white-silver-gray-black.
Damn! I saw a pink Peugeot 405 or 505 or something today, but I didn’t get a picture. And I’m not talking Europe here, I’m talking Van Nuys, CA at a used tire shop
I’ve lived in Scarborough for years and have never once laid eyes on that pink Humvee.
I’m terrified to step outside now…
Scarberia eh? Sorry about that. You must have seen your fair share of base Sunfires.
I have seen a flat pink BMW SUV around Santa Monica a couple of times now. Both times driven by the same 30is asian man. I dont get it myself. I don’t know my Beemers, I think it was a X3 or something.
Also do pink Bugs even count? There is one in the garage here at work. I also saw a white and pink Fiat at the dealer in Santa Monica.
