haters. :p
I don't think it's love. I think it's lust. I'm with you, though.
Theres a reason there were no bidders. Put a normal midnight blue, or black paint job on that and it would have fetched $30,000 easy.
ftfy. hater.Quote:

while you're right to an extent, i don't think that's what's going on in this case. it's a drag car; not a collector car. purple is an accepted color for muscle cars (sadly, so is gold/brown). no, i really just think it's more of a shitty economy than anything else. even it had no green on it (which i actually think is a nice accent) it still wouldn't make any difference.
p.s.
it's because of the homophobic attitude people have towards automotive paint that i've already accepted that my car will be worthless when it's finished. built 3/s's already cannot command any sort of respectable price. having one in purple is insult upon injury.
...but it's not for THEM....
It has nothing to do with a homophobic attitude. It has to do with TASTE. You've already admitted in other threads that your taste is off the wall. Your choice in hats proves that. ;)
now that's going a bit too far. it's ok to personally like some colors and not others; but insinuating that liking certain colors in general is "in bad taste" is just dumb. and that's precisely what you are insinuating, that somehow liking the color purple is in bad taste.Quote:

for what it's worth, there are plenty of 2-color primary/accent combinations which work very well together. apart from the obvious "any color & black", red/blue, blue/yellow both work very well. green/red and yellow/red also work well; but are utilized less because of the established connotations for them (xmas and circus, respectively). orange/blue, purple/yellow, purple/green, purple/red all work very well together also--and to a smaller extent green/orange. the trick to making it all work has less to do with the choices of color than it does with utilizing them in the proper amounts (although to be sure, some color sets tend to not work well together (green/yellow or many other pairs which are too similar in pigment).
you can overdo anything in any color. THAT is what makes bad taste. liking certain colors doesn't fall into that category.
The only thing I insuated was that you had a DIFFERENT taste. Most other people don't agree with your taste and go a different direction.
I don't mind purple on certain, exotic cars, a Lambo Diablo can pull it off for example. But this Camaro just looks awful. If Liberace were slightly less gay and into muscle cars, he would own this.
Much faster Mullet!

Purple on a muscle car can look good. Some of the Mopar muscle is prrof of that. But all the extra accents are what ruins the whole car.
I think I just split my gut open! :lo5l:Quote:

As my dad once said: "if we ALL liked the same thing, then we ALL would be trying to screw the same woman"! Do what you want...in the end if your not happy, what was it all for anyway?
It is definitely not the paint scheme that is keeping the car from selling. If you have the $ to maintain and race a drag car like that, you have the $ to repaint it to whatever you want. I think the problem is that nobody has the $ in the first place.
Good purple:

Not so good purple:

:D
I disagree. I beleive that people feel if they are going to drop that kind of coin on a car then it may as well look like they want it to. They could just watch Ebay and get the same car in a normal color scheme for the same price and not have to buy this thing and drop another $5000 on fixing the ugly paint.Quote:

Im also not a fan of the maroonish red color 3s’s, but that color wouldn’t keep me from buying one.
Looks like it crashed into a rainbow.
this sounds like precisely the thought behind the "wolly mammoth" of "pinks" fame. :)Quote:

This car is fucking ugly.
I don't think its ugly... The purple is well painted but the stripes ruin the job. Otherwise a very nice car.
And to those hating grow up - I bet you drive boring same old same old coloured cars...
You realise there's a red hot chance imp's going to want to have sex with the bird right?Quote:

Listen The Colour Purple, I'm ok with my 99 wing. It's big, bold and aggressive. As opposed to your colour fetish which screams, "I love the cock"! :p
Scooter
your wing isn't aggressive. it says "i'm overcompensating for a lack of phallic size". either that, or "i don't need to see out the rear window", "i like having my car look like an STI/evo", and "if the cord was only 2" longer, i could totally get airborne with this thing". :p
and as i said, it's not the "i love cock" color. it's the "i love pussy" color. ;)
imperfectdarkness your such a pathetic troll just gtfo...
