Default pink with orange polka dots

it's a Vette.

Trust me, welcome to a family like no other...Vette's

I have owned 30+ cars in my life and other than 5 dif Camaro's all the rest were dif types...only car know about that people stick together is Vette's. You will see when you pass one on the road, the beep and the wave, the 1st time it happens it is just too cool.

Enjoy!
