Car pics too cool not to share

Yes, rest assured, it was most definitely a joke. Party on Garth!
I guess maybe I should have bolded Pinto or put it in quotation marks.

Yes, yes it is... At least a rendering of one.

You just can't leave things be can you !

And just where would the fun be in that?

I'm fine with it. It doesn't have 24s and low pro "mud" tires with light bars and angry eyes.

And how else would you expect her to get to the beach, right?

Well she could have a brain too.

This is just WRONG in so many ways...

Across the street from my mom's house.

The addition of the pink lug nuts put this build "Over the Top"!

Pink is one of my preferred colors. Seriously, I do like a hot pink. Give me an AAR in Panther Pink, and I'll put pink lug nuts on it myself.

Pink is "ok", fuchsia is mo' bettah!

I know I've mentioned it before, but I drove a factory pink '65 Rambler wagon as a daily driver for almost five years. It definitely depends on the shade of pink. That Gladiator would be a hard pass for me.

It really does. I can't do a light pink. Half the time I can't even tell if they are pink. That Gladiator is dancing on that line where I can barely see that something is going on, so yeah, it needs to be darker/hotter.

This is good , it would spare you the grief of dealing with endless electronic issues and having the 3.6 valvetrain failure that takes your $ 67,000 kinda a pickup down. I love the concept of a modern Gladiator , however the execution is just sad.

A restored real Buick powered Gladiator would be wonderful for me !

That's funny, as I prefer the really light pink to a darker one. My Rambler's color was technically "Montego Light Rose", or "Titty Pink!" as one coworker proclaimed. Of course, Panther Pink rocks, but it's hard to not approve of it when it's applied to an AAR CUDA, or a '70 T/A Challenger...


This is one of twelve known to exist.

Absolutely! Of course, I'd take the AMC powered version in a heartbeat, as well as it being in the hue of green (because, well...Squatch!).

That kind of resembles the color of a 94 Escort GT a girl i dated in the mid 90s had.

Ford called it Sunset Red Metalic, it used a pearlescent clear coat over the red/pink? base color to give it a color changing effect. Under streetlights at night it looked almost purple. Most fluorescent light made it look red. Direct sunlight on a clear day more pink.

She looks like she's trying to remember her own name...

Pink is one of my preferred colors

As for pink, not a fan, except for as it occurs in nature.

I actually remember that color on the Escorts. Your description is really quite accurate.

Best line I've read all day!
