I did take the body color options to heart. My 991.2 is GT silver, so this time around I wanted my 992 to have some color to it. I was hooked on Miami Blue, but was convinced that I should order a more conservative color, so aventurine green. That color does not photograph well, but still, it is quite conservative. I am really torn on that as I have had a Porsche severely keyed for other no reason than being a Porsche, so I am hesitant to draw attention to the car or me. I would rather have guards red, lave orange, or Miami blue. I am still at the configurator, lol.

Also, I have been thing about the sport tex interior, but all of my cars have had black interiors except for my TR6. The two-tone interior meansI need to add seat ventilation. I'd like to have the sport tex for added comfort. Torn on that one, too.

Anyway, thanks Nick for stirring the pot.
I liked the puddle lights on my range rover sport because it was an image of the truck.. less tacky IMO .. also it was in the mirrors not the doors

Ill look for a Pic for those who missed it. I laughed so hard when I saw it, I bought it instantly. My wife just shook her head and said “You aren’t going to wear that thing, right?”

That's because those guys used the "P" word. Nick is much more classy and clinical.

Thanks, Nick!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I found it to be informative and you always make me laugh (which is so welcome these days).
Looking forward to Part 2 and also looking forward to a video of you building your own 992.

It's part of Nick's "Cro-Magnon Man" collection...ideal for wearing around the house during COVID-19 self-isolation. T-shirt is reversible for video calls and outdoor excursions.

You'll have to wait till I croak I'm afraid. Then you'll have to search through the massive pile of "trash" at the roadside about the time my body temp hits 90 or so. You'll have to be quick; she won't waste time tossing all of my "eclectic" collections.
It sits in a primo location.

Hey, I'm a girl and I think it's funny (maybe because I drive a manual!).
