Funny story; my husband who is a really big man bought a purple 95 F150 one time brand new because he could get a really great deal on it. The dealers had sent it off for a custom paint job and it came back really bad, so my husband took a chance on being able to take the custom paint off while leaving the original. It worked and he got a new truck for like $100 under dealer cost.

One time he pulled up at a gas station and before he got out the guy at the pump next to him said something like "Boy that is really a purple truck." My husband got out (remember he is big) and said "I think I am big enough to drive any color truck I want." The guy said "You know what, I like purple trucks" :)

He has his own business doing parkinglot maintenance, and another contrator who was looking at a job with him and was a friend drove a metallica pink truck, it was pretty. But they were parked on the lot side by side talking and suddenly the other contractor said "We better put these trucks around back. People might get funny ideas about us."

He had alot of fun with that purple truck. When our daughter turned 16 he sold it to her. She doesn't get nearly the remarks he did. I guess there is jus something funny about a really big guy driving a purple truck.:)
