Pullman Brown. Its the color of UPS trucks. It is also the cleanest "looking" color out there. No matter how dirty it gets, it neveer looks dirty.

I say the breast cancer pink, then when women tell you they like your car you can say that you painted it in honor of all the women who have suffered from breast cancer. And if you have mad skills you can get their number too.

Thats about the most well thought out answer ever!.....Or you could go to the local bank, find receipts from the atm that have LARGE balances left, and write your number on them. Then they will call you.

Wow are you still in high school? Because I think you just want to hear yourself talk. And you thought this post was so funny you probably giggled like a little girl. I would suggest turning on Comedy Central if you want to learn how to be funny. Because what you said sounds like you just want to be funny, but cannot due to most likely sexual frustration, or possibly abuse by a priest.

Vintage Red. I think it is just the right hue of red for this car.

You took something that was semi-funny and tried to be sarcastic about it in a post. Why shouldn't I ridicule you and laugh at your ignorance?

I personally love red on fd's because I think red brings out the best in a true sports car. I went with Ferrari red on mine. I like it but if I could do it again, I'd go with the NSX red, (Formula Red). Check my home page for a pic of my red and the nsx red. Also here is a link for a sick *** red jdm rx7. I think that fd is one of the cleanest fd's I've ever seen.

Some people will tell you to stay away from red because you will have a better chance of getting pulled over. Well I have been driving my red fd since I was 16 and I will be 24 this year and I have never been pulled over in my fd. And I push the limits of my fd on the streets more often than I should, even though as I get older I'am starting to drive more responsible.
