Default Rent a purple car?

A good friend is doing a sweet 16 party for someone and her favorite color is purple. How would one go about finding someone or somewhere to rent a car that is purple so she can drive away from the party in it?

reserving by color is almost impossible, the rental places rarely know what is showing up on their lot the day before or what color it is.

I got stuck in a baby blue Avalon before. That was fun

I drive rental cars all day at work. Nobody makes purple cars anymore. Closest thing I've seen was a blue-ish purple HHR, and a maroon Sonota that looked purple in the right light.

we've had a couple bluish purple HHR's....the only way to get close to a even getting a purple one, is to talk to the exotic rental places.

Another reason why I left. Not exactly the most fun place to work. Got tired of people showing up and we had no cars to rent. But because of the nature of how you get paid. No cars for customers means a bigger pay check for the managers. Worst set up ever if you ask me.

Region EE, Area B. Funny I work @ EH which is split in half with carsales. Not a bad company, but the region I worked in was just getting to money hungry. Hell if Jack Taylor can take time out of his day to had write me a letter, then he's okay with me.
