It's not correct Roman numerology, but I like it!
What shade of blue is that?

Porsche calls it Sapphire Blue Metallic. The attention you get with this color is crazy.

Correct, it is not proper Roman numerology...but it is fun to watch folks smile when they finally figure it out.

Okay, I was racking my brain trying to figure out how you thought you'd had a 991 for 10 years, lol. I guess you mean the plate.

Yes, sorry for being vague. Back in '06, I bought this one and immediately snatched the plate.

I see what you did there, but still feel like it should be -20.

I guess that depends if people on here call this car a nine-eleven, a nine-one-one, or a nine-hundred-eleven. I've only heard nine-eleven - but then again I'm having a hard time calling it a Porscha even though I know it's correct.

Pronounce it with one syllable, it drives the purists crazy.
