Photos - Comparing Oranges to Oranges

Nice and sunny day today, so I drug the cars out of storage and snapped some nice photos of the orange trio. This will give you a good idea of how all three popular colors compare and contrast with eachother.

2006 GTO is "Brazen Orange Metallic"
2002 Firehawk is "Sunset Orange Metallic"
1969 SS is "Hugger Orange"

I guess you could say I like orange vehicles

Brazen FTW, ..., it just pops out so much more, ...
I think the BOM would look killer on the Firehawk.

The Firehawk has 10,500 miles on it. GTO is only a few weeks old, but is my Wife's daily-driver. The '69 has about 5K miles on it in the last 10 years, but I'm going to redo the car completely and drive it quite a bit. Still has the old carb'd 350ci in it, putting a 427ci LS7 / T56 in it next year.

I daily-drive my '06 Dodge Ram mostly. 11K miles in less than 6 months.
