This is a perfect, personal reason for you to add Burmester.

I’ve also considered Aventurine because I’ve always liked green cars. Not a classic color and not sure how it will look 10 years from now. It may actually be looked at very positively because it will still be unique. I do wish they offered a dark green like Irish or Brewster,
I’ve done lots of blue, silver, and black cars. I went AG this time.

At the end of the day, that probably is what I will go with.

The 911 looks so great in so many colors. If I could afford it, I’d buy several in different colors.
