My parents had that color scheme in their kitchen in the '70's, also burnt orange for a couple of the appliances/crapola/mandatory Owl Wall Hanging. No wonder I was such a skinny kid, I was terrified to eat anything made in that swirlng pit of madness and despair.

Oh, yeah, raise your hand if you had the ginormous salad spoon and fork hanging on your wall collecting dust, on the off-chance that Andre the Giant would show up out of the blue and demand tasty croutons, endive and Hidden Valley Ranch?

Awww. This reminds me of my Dad's '79 Cadillac. Big as a yacht and no power steering. Good times.

LOL!

I knew a woman who had a PINK Rambler.

Kidding. A pink Rambler is of course cute. This poor car looks like the owner got a "special" by opting to use left-over paint....

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Plus, your sanity is so refreshing. Some days I am convinced I exert a magnetic force that attracts crazy.

The yellow looks vanilla-y on my monitor. I could see the whole thing being that color and me liking it.

I would love to custom-paint a car so it wouldn't look like anyone else's. The Mr. is horrified by this idea.

Why DID everyone have that macrame wall owl? We also had a macrame wine rack: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=39765479

He painted it green and gold. Green is for the money, gold is for the honey. ;-)

I call it puke green and I'm seeing lots of clothes in that color in stores. Honestly, who looks good in that?

I'd say more like nuts and horny.

The bottom line 2012 Rolls is $223,147 new. That's over two times the current market for my house.

Totes cool with it, especially if he holds clear title.

A nice older Roller like that, prolly less than a new Acura. Pea green & pee yellow, eh?

I agree it's kinda icky. OTOH, I'd bet the owner was going for a late-60s, Peter Max 'Yellow Submarine' vibe.

'Zackly. It's cheery.

You miss the point. Even if it is a used Rolls, they are quite expensive to run and own, and being able to paint it a fun color scheme like that is part of thumbing your nose at everyone else. Like the old rich guys in South Florida country clubs who wear red plaid jackets with tropical print shirts and green pants to dinner. It is a statement that you don't actually care what people think of your tastes. It says, "I drive a Rolls, what's in your garage?"

Plus, it is easy to find in a parking lot. I have a gray Honda Civic and I have walked up to the wrong car more than once.

It's the vehicular version of male birth control?

I dunno, it's tacky, but it's still a Rolls. I think it would be more of a "He's rich, and ugly, so I'll just turn off the lights, and close my eyes and fantasize about Matthew Gray Gubler.".
