Default Another Raspberry Porsche

Tim Smith saw this car on eBay ... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1993-...US_Cars_Trucks.

Like my car, this one's been photographed indoors and for those who've seen my car, notice how much different the color looks. Wonder if someone will buy this car and be surprised like I was when they see what it really looks like ;-)

My 11 year old daughter would love it either way.

I really like that color as well as how it looks on your GTS. You definitely do not see that color running around.

Did you read if it is the same color code or did you just read the description?

These colors are so hard to photograph properly and how do you show how they change depending on the light? besides they are selling it so why not make it look as good as possible.

My cobalt is another color that is very hard to show properly. It also goes from dark blue to almost a pink color depending on where the sun is in the sky. That is what i love most about these 90's colors.

I think they are a bit ambitious with that buy it now price but I am sure someone will buy this car.

Photographic technology does not record the same spectrum that the human eye can see just as computer monitors and paper print do not produce the same color spectrum either. This difference is often seen with metallic paints of almost any color.

My '81 was called "red wine metallic" IIRC. Is it the same? I liked it.

After every *** meeting and seeing your car, my wife throws out the idea of his-n-her GTSs. She loves it!
