True of the girls selling the stuff too. Ya they want to sell stuff, but they just love helping out a fashion blind man such as me. Never hurts to ask for help picking colours. ;)

I had a pink '67 Beetle. It was REALLY exotic. Har har. That colour lasted for like 2 seconds. (as did the Beetle. "Rrrrrrchhh! Flip! Thud!") Prior to the Thud, it was promptly spray bombed black. I kept some of the pink for "pin stripes". Likely creative hindsight, but I'm pretty sure all the girls liked the pink pinstripes. ;) Sudhir: don't pick #8. It seems to promote really poor posture!
