  • Argabarga Meets Visual Pollution

    "Pink" is an option in our system under vehicle color when entering data, because we do get the occasional pink vehicle. Usually, it's either a business vehicle and that's their corporate colors, or it was a red car once upon a time, back in 19-dickety-2, when nickles had pictures of bees on them, but it has since been sun-bleached into a fabulous new hue....

    This wasn't one of those.

    This was a pink car.

    A very PINK car.

    A pepto-bismol-pink Toyota Celica (Obviously and thankfully not a factory color, so I know for sure that someone PAID to make it that way) with, wait for it, pink seat covers.

    Pink CAMOUFLAGE seat covers.

    Gravekeeper, you probably know this guy/gal, would you be a dear and next time they call to order pants, tell them we've got their ride here.

    Sounds like a Mary Kay Cosmetics sales rep decided to make their own parking space.

      I've seen pink VWs before and a random pink (I think it was) Yaris somewhere. It's definitely a custom job

        There are quite a few pink cars round my way. Most of them are a tasteful shade too, a pearly cherry-blossom pink. There are the odd ones which are eye-melting fluorescent Barbie magenta, however...

          We have someone here that painted a newer Dodge Charger 2 tone pink and cyan.

              Yeah, this wasn't some light satin pink, like you see on Mary Kay edition Cadillacs, or that kinda-purple-kinda-pink-metallic that Toyota sometimes uses, this was day-glo pink, blended tie dye T-shirt loud.

                  We have them here occasionally-pink's quite popular for limo colours for some reason and you notice them out on the streets

                    There are two pink taxis in this town.

                    But the best pink car I ever saw was, I'm certain, a certified pimp-mobile. It was a limo with heart-shaped windows.

                      We have a pink taxi, too! And someone has a pink convertible VW Beetle. I don't think either has pink camo interior, though...

                      Some of the garbage trucks went bright pink for last October, too.

                        I think you might be describing the color of a truck I see on the way to work sometimes. It's a fairly large-sized pickup, and... well.. it's this pink/purplish yogurt color. That's what it reminds me of every time I see it. Actually, it's two-tone. Kind of the shades of the strawberry and blueberry in this image.

                          The local concrete company painted one of their cement mixers pink a few years back as part of a breast cancer awareness promotion, and never painted it back.

                          It's bleached a bit, but there's no denying, it's a pink truck.

                              Look, you guys can bash the day-glo pink car all you like, but consider this:

                              1) The owner will never lose it in a parking lot

                              2) They will never have trouble explaining to a valet which car is theirs

                              3) If someone ever hits it, they're going to have one hell of a time explaining to the judge why they didn't see the damned day-glo pink car in their way!
