How are you supposed to take pictures of "Lambo" doors with pink door panels after the occupants leave?

If that's what you went to then perhaps it is you with a problem...

I don't like the car and I will freely say it. I'm entitled to that opinion. If the owner likes it, great. Good for them. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that don't like things I have done to my cars. I couldn't care less. I'm guessing that my opinion means exactly the same amount to the owner of that one.

EDIT: On a side note, if the car is from Texas it was a LONG way from home.
You've been a member since 2005, a senior member with what, 3k/5k posts, and you've never seen that car on this forum before?

You're right, that's your opinion, and that was mine, see any difference?

Looks like it has nice 18/19" staggered wheels and wide-body quarter fenders. That looks good. The Mod-Pink interior, pink colored rear is NOT so good, and the lambo hinges are played out.

Wow.....good lesson here. Goes back to a couple of sayings......1. Never ASSume (that someone with a vette isn't a Forum member and could be hurt by comments) and 2. If you don't have anything nice to say......then don't.

PS: I too love the lambo's and always enjoy seeing a pic of the car.

Save face? That might be true if I actually gave a **** what anybody here thought about me but I honestly couldn't care less.

Like I said before... I took the picture because it was a Corvette with a pink tail, pink interior, and Lambo doors. Obviously the doors had to be open to see them which most likely means people are getting in and out. I never said a single word about and I have zero problem with the owners (other than their color choice). If you want to think otherwise so you can get up on your internet pedestal and come to the defense of others and feel like you did your good deed for the day, go for it.

Don't worry... it's gone.

Interesting how RedLS1GTO make no remarks or comments but follow on posters did.

He and I disagree once in a while but he's catching flack for what other people "assume" his motive was.

Actually the picture quality sucks and if the "OP" didn't point out the pink painted rear I may have never noticed it.

I'm not sure the silver and pink paint scheme is something I would do, but to each their own.

Don't know why you guys are raging on RedLS1GTO as he says nothing about their weight or sizes.

Maybe he should have been more clearer in his post about what he was trying to convey, but none the less he's entitled to his opinion.
I think the owner should have just painted the whole car pink.

For what it is worth, I have never seen that car before either and I've been on here a long time.
