Red. . .  I should have known it would be red. That was Mrs. White’s reaction to her daughter’s prom dress (which was actually pink, but you know, crazy) in the classic horror movie Carrie. Today’s Mystery Car is actually red, and while I doubt anyone’s waiting to dump a bucket of pig blood on the ultimate solver of this contest, you never know.

Because her mother was off her rocker, Carrie White  suffered innumerable rules and constraints by which she was forced to live. In contrast, we only have four rules for solving the weekly Mystery Car, those being that the solution must include the make, model, likely engine and year range for full credit. Anything less and I’m locking the gym doors and setting off the fire hose. Now, where’s that damn Amy Irving?

    It's not a 3rd gen Dodge Dakota with a 5.2 V8 because the windshield washers are in the wrong place.

    Yeah, from about this angle, it totally looks like an NSX.

    Excellent eyeballing! That one happens to be parked on a street in Veria, a city in Northern Greece.
