Craigslist Find of the Day: Official car of Sprite, the Limon Camaro
Those clever Hawkeyes don't need Xibit to pimp a ride, so here to represent Iowa pimps we have this 1988 Camaro IROC-Z, apparently inspired by a Sprite commercial. The great thing about any pimped piece of auto is that it sells itself -- all you need to do is see the car on the street and you know, as Paul Harvey said, the rest of the story.

It looks good? Forget that! Perhaps it is built well and drives well, but the color combination isn't worthy of any praise!!!
Most will agree that it's just tasteless. Bleech!

I remember my high school days... I have to admit I had bad taste back then, painting a car robin egg blue. This green and yellow car takes bad taste to another level.

ha! I also had the misfortunate of choosing a Robin Egg Blue paint job from Ear Shieb (sp?) for my 1980-something Chevette.
Of course the white grill and accents made it classy.

I graduated from high school in 1995 with a bunch of farmkid, rednecks. They would have loved this thing as high schoolers. Hell one guy at our school drove a 1985 Bonneville Sedan with a bored out 305 V8.

I'd say it's more John Deere inspired than Sprite, but that's just my perspective.

It looks like something out of MTV's Pimp My Ride, but the exterior is a little understated for that.

Reminds me of the box Caprice I've seen around here, yellow exterior with yellow and brown interior, raised up on dubs, and yes, painted with M&Ms all over the car, including the M&M dudes like on the NASCAR race car.

In answer to the question copied and quoted below, apparently the fake Wayne's World AMC Pacer is a similar priced fair trade and the two owners might be the only 2 who would like either car. Hope they meet.
