These cars kind of look like frogs or toads, don't they? Big bulgy eyes up front, big hindquarters... look at the silhouette!

I am very fond of frogs and toads. I am fond of the car. It fits!

I would pick it yourself. I have personalized plates on 2 of my vehicles and they both came from me.

How about "RSMERED"? Very appropriate for that color

IMHO the 993 silhouette looks more like a roach than a toad...

I don't get the frog thing, either, but, perhaps more importantly, here in France-loving America, the word frog might carry the wrong connotation.

I honestly thought you were french or something until I read your explanation. And I can't say I've ever heard anyone say that 993's look frog-like.

Best for you to pick your own, as I don't get the frog - 993 thing either. Mine is HIPPY.

My honest opinion - I'm not super keen on them

RED 993 fits. It's a 993 and it is red. What more do you want? ;-)

I certainly wouldn't want to be mistaken for a French Communist.... although the idea of spending my days irrelevantly sipping coffee in a Left Bank cafe does have its charms...

I couldn't vote due to the fact I don't like any of them and like others here, I looked at my 993 from all sides and cannot see a frog or toad anywhere in it's lines.

By the way, you have any other side effects from the 60's, 70's, 80's besides seeing frogs & toads ?......LOL
