And they are equally barf-tastic. The T/A could maybe pull it off with enough black accents, but it would still look better in literally any other color including pink.

You may want to turn in your Man Card if you really believe pink looks better than Aztec Gold.

If I got caught driving a pink Corvette I could say it's my wife's car. A gold one... no excuse for that.

They probably wouldn't believe you.
I think you are going a little extreme with your hatred of Aztec gold. It's just a color.

Gold has been and still is a popular color for customizers and hot rodders.

I agree on the Pink being better, I've seen lots of cars done in pink for cancer awareness and they always looked cool to me, but hey my mancard is probably void anyhow for wearing pink gloves in the cage for that reason...

There is a huge difference in using pink for cancer awareness and painting a car pink because you like it. I hope you can see that difference.

Could be both, pink has become synonymous for that reason. I'd rather have pink. I'm confident in the validity of my mancard.
