I would like to go off topic for a moment to complain about people going off topic on threads. This can cause the thread to go off topic and people can lose the topic.
I have owned 3 red vehicles, a Plymouth Arrow, a Nissan Hardbody and a Chevy S10. Neither were fast, in fact, 0-60 was measured with a calendar. My fastest car was cream/ white.
