@snapoversteer 'bout to get told: I think new and relative to the time it was probably nice, but when you've seen the color faded and out of malaise context... guesss its all in the eye of the beholder. #raywert
Yeah, Ray, but you forgot to mention the wild MoPar paint cost about $15 extra as an option. People could understand extra for midnight blue with flecks or pearlized white but a lot of people at the time thought they were tractor or heavy equipment colors and therefore cheap! #raywert
My parents had a neighbor with a '69 Roadrunner convertible. It was black on Sub Lime Green. What a fabulous car that was -- approximately the same size as an aircraft carrier, it was likely visible from space.
...and it had a 440 and a six pack. I helped time it! #raywert
For anybody who couldn't stand the reverse chronological order of the posts that rolled out with Jalopnik 2.0, now you can change it!

@Leeeeena the Jalopchick: Unfortunately, the system still seems to be buggy, and even though I have selected to view all comments starting with the oldest first, it's not happening. I'll just keep trying every day or so until it finally sticks, I guess. #cotomersevis
If I only had the time, this LandofMinos alter-ego of mine would offend, terrify, enrage and disgust many a reader/commenters well as offer proper insightful editorial as I've tried to in the past.
But lately work has made me scarce around these parts and I am from the land down under, where the beer does flow and the men chunder (vomit). Time difference is a bitch. #cotomersevis

The copy on the NYT site omitted the long O designation in Krom leading me to wonder whether Conan had started designing for Nissan. #raywert

fiat came out with some rather ugly hues back in the malaise era, but this one is especially unendearing. #raywert

No pics, though.
Ray, you are The Man for using a law case to easily slide that reference into a NYT article.

Classic colors? Panther Pink.
Modern colors? Aside from TVR's winning chameleon colors, especially purple-green, I think the Elise yellow-green is particularly searing #raywert

Well, I can't think about anything else than the VW Polo Harelquin. #raywert
