I don't like this fridge because it has an automatic ice maker. I like to make my own ice cubes. Call me a purist.

Well when you use that analogy, we all sound like idiots. Who would choose old school ice trays?

Red because of red stitching and red brakes :-)



Also... It's free

No insult was intended, just a light hearted joke.

Aw no, I certainly wasn't offended. I was trying to make a joke back. Text inflection just doesn't work sometimes.

Anywhoo...

I just changed my order from Saphire Blue over to Red and decided on the PCCBs. On black gloss wheels as I think it will mate up better ,after tinted windows , than standard finish.
I also plan to order GT3 stripes for it through: http://www.kistudios.com/gt3.html
Looks like the Strip-004 kit is the only one listing fitment for the 991 but I'll check with them to see if they can custom-make for the 991 C4S body in other styles. Personally, my favorite package is the Stripe-009 in gloss black along with the 3.8L End Cap Decal on black face with red characters.

Yea, it is a PITA to take care, but the result is often sweet.
Not bad at all! But IMHO I think it needs use a flashier color Especially here in Belgium where everybody drives a black (or grey) car. I would get lost in the crowd

So obviously it's not my pick but I really like an 'all black' car

But you either really need to be OCD about your car detailing (and have the time) or have someone you trust come by once a week for washes and quick detailing. Otherwise, black looks terrible after two days of driving it. .

Hence Guards Red and White emerge as top choices, with Guards edging out white b/c, in person, guards 'pops' and the wife said she found it silly to spend 150k on a refrigerator.
LOL! awesome!

Red Guards is a stunner too! Great choice!
