This is so political incorrect I don't know what to say!
I might send an email to Senator Elizabeth Warren to
alert her to the insult to us 'Native Americans'!

I think it could be more about the excessive gang presence than the last few letters in the name of the city...

Love the Pure Blue on the 911 Speedster.
Any word or information on if there will be a 991 Speedster?

I am talking about the past 80yrs since the " Oakies " fled the Dust Bowl on Route 66 , the gut -of -the- US " mother road " and settled along the gut -of -California " mother road " , Highway 99 in the central and southern San Joaquin working as laborers on the cotton fields and Coalinga/Bakersfield oil rigs
...growing up in the 60s , many many here had " hicksville " accents and we bore the brunt of jokes per the East Coast and esp LA media types , esp Johnny Carson , about us driving only pick up trucks with gun racks ( even some of my SoCal native classmates at UCLA in the mid 70s remarked / half-joked that I didn't sound like Valley residents Buck Owens and Merle Haggard )

this " armpit of California / red state " image of the central / southern San Joaquin Valley predates East Fresno Hmong gang violence by many, many decades and is ingrained into the thinking of multigenerational " blue state " coastal Cali families , like my 4th generation SF native wife's huge clan on both sides , some of whom still feel " sorry " for where I grew up ....34 yrs after first meeting me !

Wow. In that lineup. Miami looks the worst. Too bad - I was thinking of a possible car in that color.

Mix Club Blau and Pure Blue and you have Voodoo. Or, mix Voodoo and Pure Blue to get Club Blau. Or....

I think it's the same color and Porsche couldn't decide on a name....

the PCA 60 Club Coupe's " Club Blau " paint , a new formulation with extensive input by PCA officials - and chosen to be used for its updated logo , branding , etc., ( i.e., the reason for its color name ) - includes 20% " violet " pigment , which really shows in indoor or late-afternoon light :

the first pic below shows its constantly changing " blue " color best , from front to rear :






CJ , GLWS of the PCA 60 Club Coupe and be sure to put its buyer in touch with our pvt 60 CC Registry and FB Group
