Gay color? Not gay at all but very very common.

And I mean any silver color Porsche. Sure there are different hue silver colors but still, silver is silver and is very common.

"But the color seems to make the car the butt of gay jokes when joking around with the guys"

Here in the SF area my Arctic Silver Tip is the butt of straight jokes among the gays.

well thank god my car is not a tip! actually I was searching for a black coupe but all I could find within my specifications was a tip. but yea most of it comes from the fact that it is a cab. but now that I have a cab in socal, I dont think I will own another coupe unless I get a bit more serious in my tracking of the car. I met another guy in a polar silver 996 cab at an autocross, his was a tip, he put it well "either you like it, or you call it gay and wont admit you like it"

No regrets, absolutely love the car. But the color seems to make the car the butt of gay jokes when joking around with the guys. I guess I can see it, but really I just appreciate the color. does anybody seem to experience this?
You live in California so quit trying to fool yourself .. or us.

Why ask the question? If you like the color then buy it - you only need to make yourself happy - screw any others...

Polar silver is a 2K plus option as I recall and is a great sort after color. If I liked that color that is all that matters. Don't even know why ask such a question.

Alex Madonna (of the Madonna Inn) did everything pink. It's the most feminine color I can think of. In an interview not long before he died, they asked why he used so much pink. He said, "well, the ladies sure like it, and I really like the ladies."
So, if it is a feminine color, maybe the ladies will really like it, and if you like ladies, you're in there, so to speak. And if you don't like ladies, according to the post above mine, you're in there, so either way, you win. Good luck, whichever way you swing.



LOL


BTW, Polar silver isn't feminine, I think it's a great color. No, really. It's great. Really.

Since when are colors "gay"? Is white straight or gay? What about black, the darkest of all colors? I have always thought that pigment is asexual, but appearantly some of the Fox News viewers amongst us think otherwise. Crickey, what is happening to our country?

As for the Laguna and fruitcake comments, give me a break. Ignorance is viral. What next, holocaust colors? Go on, tell us what you really think.

Close this horrible thread and get back to 993 discussion. I really thought that the people on this board were more honorable than this. Shameful, truly shameful.
