The first car I ever bought on my own was a 2006 PT Cruiser that was dark purple. I loved that car!

I've seen many at car shows when I would go visit with my parents. Most of them were muscle cars. We had a purple-ish mini van for a short time. Now orange is a color I don't see much. My first car was orange. Like bright Halloween orange. It stuck out in the parking lot full of white and red cars. I drive an orange car! I love plunking my little orange car down in a row of black and white cars in a parking lot. Lol

Nothing says badass racer like a Kia Soul!

Back in the 80s, I had a purple Camaro. On the sticker, the color was listed as "Purple Haze". Someone @ Chevy must have been a Jimi Hendrix fan.

When she was little, we used to play a game on road trips where each kid would choose a car colour and they would count the number of that colour we met. The boys chose common vehicle colours, but we remember a time she chose her favourite colour, purple. Her brothers jeered. But surprisingly, we actually SAW some purple cars when we were looking for them! Mom? Is that you? 😄 I was the little sister in this same scenario. About 20-25 years ago during my minivan days I drove a Dodge Caravan that was technically purple. It was a deep eggplant purple so it looked dark blue/black, but we still called it the Barneymobile.

I drove a purple Suburban when my daughters were in elementary school. We drove 4 hours to buy it, at night, in the rain. When we got there the gentleman said - You know it's purple, right? (no) "you mean wine?" no. "you mean burgandy? - no. Purple. like BARNEY !!!!!!!! Well, for some reason, the Craigs List photos were in black and white and we thought it was black. The kids would not let us walk away. They HAD to have that purple suburban. Both my daughters learned to drive in that boat!! Needless to say, it was all of their friends' favorite car.
For some reason I can't post a picture. I took tons of photos before we sold it. I actually loved that gas-hog!!

I had a Black Amethyst Nissan Rogue (looked black until the sun hit it) and traded it in on a Hypergreen (lime) Jeep Renegade. I LOVE my bright green Jeep but, everyone in town knows where I am at all times. There’a no hiding!

In 1971 my youngest sister was going to purchase her first vehicle. The car dealership gave her a very good deal on a purple Ford Maverick.
At the time she was in nursing school and was assigned 6 weeks in a Methadone dispensary in the 5th Ward (if you know Houston). It is a very tough neighborhood in Houston.
We were walking down memory lane this week and she said we have no idea of the cat calls she got driving that purple vehicle down the street in the 5th Ward. LOL I can only imagine.
This made me think--I believe hers was the only purple vehicle I have ever seen. Do you recall seeing someone drive a purple car?
My first minivan - a Dodge Caravan bought in 1999 - was purple. When I went to trade it in in 2003, the dealer insisted that it wasn't worth as much because no one would want a purple minivan. We traded it in and took our new boring silver minivan home that day. I had to drop off something at the dealership 2 days later and they told me that they had already sold my old minivan. Someone saw it sitting off to the side before they had time to start detailing it, etc., and insisted on buying it because they loved the color.
