Your car isn't purple, it's between purple and red. My car is purple, but I don't really mind it, because it's a pretty rare color, and girls seem to like it.

That's my car.

I think its time for your friends to perhaps learn their colors?

No - I would not consider the color red to be purple.

Nor would I consider a dog to be a cat.

I personally really like the Patriot Red. I think its a really cool color and looks good on a vehicle. I always tell them that it is PATRIOT RED and they are like yea but it still looks like a shade of purple even tho one of these friends says he is partially color blind.

I would have to agree, though I never had anyone say my Z28 was purple, everyone always referred to it as dark red or maroon. I did however have an experience where two girls called it some fruity name of a nail polish they had worn, but the girls were very attractive, so it was excused .

I have NBM, from what I here it was originally a purple but they later decided to modify it to make NBM so it has a slight purple tint to it, but oddly enough its usually when its a little dirty.

But patriot red purple? no way
