Well, you'd have the color that's most popular among male teenage car owners in the US. You'd be "in" like you haven't been since you were that age...

Oops! I don't know you, maybe you are? I have no idea.

On the pictures your car looks like it has been retrofitted with S spoilers but has not settled after suspension work. How much have you driven it since the work was done? More than 50 miles?

At the factory they used to have a special little track to "settle" the car down. Essentially, the test driver would run the car over these elevated thingies that would first push one front wheel and the opposite rear wheel all the way up, and then do the same with the other pair. It was part of the test drive that every Porsche goes through before it goes through final inspection and is delivered to a customer.
