Default Who and WHY?

Who owns this thing?

I know you can buy just about anything for Corvettes, but at some point it has to become a matter of taste over want.

Nice, my gf would love it.

Looks like they took some pieces of the vette, and dipped it in bubblegum.

I have seen this before. She also has a Speed Lingerie bra and mirror covers in pink. It is absolutely frightening.

She is a member, and I am not sure if it has something to do with the Breast Cancer Awareness program or not. I do remember a post sometime back, where the husband did most of the work on the car for that theme.

I actually is a nice combination for a female driver. I certainly have seem a lot worse color combinations

If it's a twin turbo, I don't care what color it is.

I think the color combination is very differeat,distinctive,and appropriate for a "female" driver.
For those reasions I like it.

I wouldn't want mine in that combo, however I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. The color combo works and it's actually kind of cool!

Hold the fort, I just checked out the rest of the pictures on the link above and I'm not a fan of the pink butt!

I think it looks cool and is a +1 for the owner, a girl that has a cool car and into moding it.
