Cars in pukey colours

[CarlMetro]

Why do people insist on buying cars in pukey colours?

Today, whilst driving down the M6 Toll is was passed by a Ferrari 355. A very nice car by anyone's standards, especially mine, but the tit driving it had seen it fitting to paint it Shocking Pink, the sort of pink suitable for a Barbie doll car

I was also passed by a 911turbo in Sunrise Yellow and an RS4 Audi in a lime green type of colour :\

Are people that insecure that they have to not only have a car which says 'look at me' but have to make sure that you do so because of the colour?

Have you seen the Barbie pink Nissan Figaro. Theres one that I see most mornings on the way to work and its sseewwww weird, but I have to admire the drivers lack of self-consciousness

The 911 GT3 RS at work that's in that stupid orange colour. I don't know if I'd say yellow is an OTT colour for a Porsche though

My personal hate is that snotty green colour thats neither green or yellow.

Doesn't Jordan/ Katie Price or whatever her name is have a barbie pink coloured Bentley. Thats just wrong.

Edited: I stand corrected, she has a pink Aston Martin, but it still equally as wrong.

That's called "Blood Orange" and you should worship the ground that car drives on

The bright colors on the new GT3 RS models are a throwback to the colors used on Porsche's racing cars in the late 60s and early 70s.
