Jeez!
If you qualify as ultra-gold-diamond team in M*ry-K*y they will trade your pink-and-clothe-seats cadillac for that shark
I used to think that only elephants would be pink

I have this material on my chair in the living room (in navy blue), and it just feels awesome without the worries of suede. I've been thinking that if I ever have to redo the interior of my car, I'd love to use this material, because it does not get hot or shrinks like leather, and has less reflections. I've been wondering, if it works on dashboards...

I always find it hillareous that as soon as something pink shows up, guys rush to reaffirm their masculinity by condemning the pink as anything from ugly, to barbie to gay. We might not realize how much pink we encounter everyday - it's one of Millions of colors. It is not my favorite, either, but why does it have to be "ugly" by default? Get over it, guys!

Nicole, it's not that it's ugly necessarily, but in this case it's just TOO MUCH. There's a lot to be said for subtlety. I admire the execution and condition of the car, but...

Nicole, I'm probably going to redo portions of my interior in Alcantara or UltraSuede (same stuff, different brand name, much different price). I've read a couple places that it fades in the sun, but I've never seen any photo proof. I'm thinking Pascha Alcantara/UltraSuede .

I want this one.

'95 GTS 5 speed, lowish miles, full leather and wood. Color coded speakers, leather seat switches, factory phone...
This same car or very similar '95 GTS 5sp was for sale some time ago in Germany for about 27k euros.

He also has a '93 (or '92) Amazon green, 5sp, black sport seat, no sunroof for sale at around €20k. I had spotted this very same car for sale on mobile.de a couple of days earlier advertised at €16k until he bought it.

Swiss Car
The car is in Switzerland, parked right next to my office.
It was purchased like this, but not sure if the suede (not alcantara) is done by the swiss importer or the factory.
In case someones interested, I can check it out, but it looks to be in very good condiditon (Swiss MFK = government inspection = much, much, much more though then CA inspections).
I do not make any comments on the lady owner's occupation.
