Maybe a Tarheels fan, or ex-player might love this...

That's actually Kofi Annan's car, he traded it away for a UN-blue Insight.. the dealership just painted out the white globe symbol on the doors of the Porsche to ready it for the lot.

I like it. Makes me feel all global-n-****.

That's almost as bad as if it were a Mary Kay car; or did Mary Kay change colors?

We had a 968 cab in this color at the Hershey meet, and it was great in person. I'm don't like this interior though.

I think I remember that porsche was used for a bank hold-up. During the getaway, the dye pack went off inside the car.

So as not to be inconspicuous, the robbers had the exterior match the interior dye pack color.

Color blindness could be another reason...

That goes way beyond poor taste. Until now, I thought this purple and white 964 Turbo's interior took the cake. I stand corrected!

ROTFLMAO!!!

You know when the first page displayed, I could only see the first picture, and I thought, hey that's not 'too bad' a color, I kind of like it. Then I spit my coke out onto my monitor when I scrolled down and saw the interior. Its pretty cool in its own way, I think STUNNING would describe it. At least I was stunned after I saw it...

To get the full effect you should see it in person. It is not my thing. Interesting enough though, is the amount of leather on the thing. The plastic around the window switches is covered in the blue leather not to mention the vents. Everything in the interoir except the gauge faces that is blue is leather.

Now the car in the back ground is awesome. V-8 twin turbo Esprit with a great sounding exhaust.

I saw that car in person two years ago at the PVGP!! Talk about retinal overload---I was so shocked that I posted my comments to the board. It was for sale at the time for about 60K(if memory serves). I like the exterior, but that much blue on the int. is nauseating. <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[nono]" />
