Who knew I would have to reduce my phone pics?
Because we are Black and White, we don't show the "dirt" as well and can be reused. Of course that's a personal decision, not one that I, Big Panda, recommend. It's simply not good for business......

Talk about "Bad News for Big Panda"...

.....this is an excerpt from a story about Chrysler and their parent company Fiat's EU marketing of their cars:

"Francois, 44, is credited with reviving Fiat's Lancia and Alfa Romeo brands in Europe, with unconventional and sometimes political marketing. That includes an emotional ad showing a crash test of a Fiat 500 minicar with a panda behind the driver's seat."

AND....

"In an ad for the Fiat 500 minicar, a panda sits in the driver's seat as the car smashes into a crash-test barrier. Air bags deploy in slow motion, buffeting the bear, but protecting it from serious injury. The audio reads: "Engineered for a lower impact on the environment. Fiat. The lowest C0{-2} emission cars in Europe."

It's no wonder we Pandas are facing extinction. My family members are being used as CRASH TEST DUMMIES!

Ah,a fellow 'panda' owner. Originally I thought the White/Black would be the most common color combo, but I've seen more Yellow/Black and at the meets we've attended, very few White/Black smarts show up. Kind of glad that we DID choose that color combo.

When I first reserved, I wanted Yellow/Silver with the Comfort Option to get the leather interior. But they discontinued the Yellow so it was either White or Red for me. When I configured, I wasn't sure what the 'new' red looked like, so I chose White.

While the Rally Red is nice, I'm really happy with the White/Black. I can keep my "Big Panda" screen name whereas if I had gone with the Red, it would have to be "Red Panda".....and well, you know, that's just not a REAL Panda, now is it?

That's because it's a 'red head' and therefore has a 'red head temper'!
