Sweet car, though!
Oh goodness, I sure do wish that was the case!
I am not sure that anyone sells pink cars these days, which is so highly unfortunate.
I'm getting enough to pay the loan off and a down payment on a new car, but I was hoping to avoid a car payment.

I have always wanted a yellow VW Beetle though.

I've always kinda wondered why a car's color matters so much to the extent, your emotions and feelings reach such a high level just because of it.
Certain car colors like pink, yellow, red, and so on - can even attract unwanted attention to police officers.
Honey, you've ever heard of such uncommon car colors being stopped for inspection much more frequently, just because of the uncommon color? It's bold in the police officers' eyes, so they tend to stop them more.
That's also why drivers of red, pink, yellow, -insert any other uncommon color here-, cars, lose their driving licence more quickly.
Enjoy your bland beige/black/white/silver appliance.
Some people view cars as more than an appliance though, and thus buy the car in the colour they want, not the colour they think will retain the best resale value. Personally, I'm sure my loud exhaust attracts more attention than the red paint.
