3. Will you adopt me?

Aquamarine blue metallic is, in my opinion, the most beautiful of all 356 colors. The market agrees.

Here's my dads from back in 2001. Car sat in storage mostly after picture was taken and then he sold it. I should have bought it but bought boxster instead?

non #s matching cars seem to be. Don't forget the seller walked away with around $210 all said and done. What people are asking and what they are selling for are two different things. But weird color, #s matching cars are hitting $500+ all the time it seems
