Yeah, Bubba is a strange one. Pink shaft on his driver, goes on Oprah and cries....and this car. Perhaps he needs a sports psychiatrist, not psychologist.

Matte black is totally inappropriate for an SL (in my opinion). You paint a car matte black because you want people to think “I don’t care what my car looks like”. But part of owning an SL is always about style. Matte black is ok an old musclecar. There you make a statement, “the car is cheap, its ugly, but its fast and that’s all I care about”. What makes this car so strange is he's added pink. So now the car says "I'm matte-black so don't look at me. But I'm also pink, look at me!".

(Adding a picture since the listing will disappear soon)
