The '08 Red is too Clemson-like - the '09 Red is MUCH closer to South Carolina colors (Garnet and Black). Go Cocks!

N.B. No dog in this fight - I am W/B/R.
Classy words, Oldsmart - for a classy color.

The 08 red is HOT.








btw - I have a full set of 08 red panels for sale - PM me.

I prefer the new red color. But I love the license plate we saw on Martha's Vineyard on the 08 red, which perfectly describes its color, shape, and size: TOMATO

The 08 red is slightly metallic orange and the 09 is non-metallic and has a trace of pink in it.
My real choice would be a fire engine red!

From the previous page:
Glad to see Old Smart knows how to make a tilde; as in 'feliz año nuevo'. Without the tilde, it would mean something painful.

I go for the '09 red, but then I'm biased.
'09 red/blk/red
