Can you come pick me up? I love free candy!
 
Red and white 1966 ford F100. Still have it, one of these days I'm going to restore it. My Dad bought it brand new, gave it to me when I was 14. He'd kill me if I sold it.
 
Geo Tracker. Hated it. But my parents gave it to me for free and unlike modern teenagers I know better than to complain about a free handout.
Black, squat, ugly. But it was enought to get me to school.

I believe that if a vehicle has to be butt-ugly, painting it black helps reduce the annoyance quite a bit.
 
i got a 74 dodge coronet with a 383 in it when i was 14. the stock gold color, piece of crap. i worked on that thing relentlessly, got the engine all pretty and running well, tried to fix the suspension as much as i could. never could get it titled tho, asshole i got it from screwed me. luckily it only cost me 20 bucks, some weed and a 10 speed bike. my next car was one my bro and i shared, a 70 maverick custom painted midnight blue. that was an awesome car. i let my bro take that over (he was slowly killing it with tantrums and wrecking it) and got me a 80 datsun 210 hatchback. red car with a green door. it had gotten t-boned by a t-bird, i had to do a ton of body work to straighten the posts and get the door to hang correctly. kept that car until i was 19 tho. next vehicle was a 79 honda cb750 motorcycle from a salvage yard. flat black paint, a little bolt on chrome. great, fast bike but very ugly.i had that as main transpo until my first kid was born. 6 years i rode that thing as a daily driver.
