Thumbs up 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

I like the GTO. Color and car. It may not be the "baddest looking" one of the 3, but I really think it's the best one.
