Ok, so I bought a pink Cadillac (and believe me, my friends are not letting me forget it!). A Pink Cadillac for ghods sake, it's not just a car, its a freaking cultural icon, it even has its own song. It's also really bizarre, I have complete strangers come up to me and complement me on the color, almost no one seems to manage not to comment on it. I've even had a woman walk up to the car at a light and pound on the driver's window screaming 'I LOVE YOUR CAR!' This was fun for a bit, but to be honest got old quick. It is one thing to be complemented on a car you built (like The Cat), but another thing altogether to be complemented on a car you bought because it was cheap and don't even like the color of.
A lot of people have asked me if the car is a former Mary Kay car, it is not. In fact it's a much brighter shade of pink than those cars, which are a very subtle pink. The story I got when buying it was that a former owner had painted the car this color for some reason, then passed away before he had a chance to even drive it. This still doesn't explain the rediculous 80's graphic on the doors.
That being said here are some pictures:
So a friend had just started writing a webcomic when I bought thecar, and so felt the need to immortalize my car in it. the strip is Wrong Turn Comic, and the car is in strips three and four.
About the same time I happened to find this 'Oh My Gods!' strip, which had me laughing my ass off.
Dispite how much people seem to love the pink, I got tired of it rather quickly, and was happy when I could finally repaint her.
