I wonder what compelled Mazda to create the most beautiful and complex red paint color to ever grace a vehicle for $30,000 cars

When you create ridiculous "We'll give out $1 million to people who sign our petition" campaigns, fraudsters will follow right behind you & target your audience with similar scams. This network has been humming for months but they are scaling up comment spam w/ E-day messages.⤵️
