Saw a guy going across the intersection in a red Skittle, LOUD BOV and turbo, he saw me at the light, pointed to his buddy, I gave him the 'ol thumbs up out the window, he gave me a nice smile, a nod, and took off. Different than the show off I was expecting@!

Red Skittle was behind me one day I moved over and he showed off that awesome sounded stock exhaust. I pulled next to him smiled and nodded and he nodded back then took off.
The SRT community in my town is A) small and b) pretentious. I don't get any nods. However, I don't think a lot of people out here in the boonies have figured out what a Redline is. I've gotten a lot of dumb stares from people that I tell I have a Saturn . . . a fast one. Maybe there'll be more in Florida (redlines and skittles alike)
On a side note, anybody know just why they're called Skittles anyway? I mean, I've never heard a definitive answer . . . j/w.
That's all subjective... I would tend to agree with you though. If you've never had, or been something truly FAST though, this thing would seem like it.
In Houston, I see more SRT-4s than Redlines. I even had one SRT-4 playing with my regular Ion. I can't wait for my Black Redline, 8 months to wait and no one expects it because they are so rare. The only recent RL I've seen is a demo car at Saturn Dealership. It's exactly the car I like to own: black exterior and fully loaded. I need to control myself, getting to anxious to drive a RL now.
I think there was something else too, something about the shape? Or the way they did something... I can't remember now...
Edited: This is where I got it from:

For JPK a Skittle?? is a Dodge Neon SRT-4 (2.4liter turbo) . the word skittle is b/c of the fruity colors they come in. stay away from the silver skittles LOL good stuff
That whole "pretty colors" thing was what I was thinking, so I guess that works. Are there blue skittles though? I could just be really over thinking this one I like it though. when do we get an amusing nickname for our cars so I can stop calling it just "the redline"?
