Ocean Jade and Orient Red are perhaps the two most underrated colors. Spectacular car, indeed!

Thank you for that!
I love Orient Red! I’ve come close a couple of times to initiating a negotiation on a couple. In the end, the cars them selves didn’t measure up.

I’m glad now obvs!

I am a firm Gen 1 996er, also!

This colour has grown men flagging me down to ask if it’s a real factory colour (I guess… as opposed to a wrap?). I thought I would get nice compliments at Cars and Coffee, but this reaction has taken me aback. I didn’t anticipate it at all. It started right away and hasn’t stopped since in the ten days I’ve had it. I imagine once the neighbours are all gone through, it will slow down! lol 😂

Ocean Jade is a spectacular colour, and very uncommon. Is it a Canadian car, originally? Tell us the story of how you found the car!

Let me know if this ever doesn't tickle your fancy in ten years, I'll take it off your hands and give it a good home out West


Ocean Jade was on my list when I was repainting my 996. Ended up with Cool Turqoise since it had a bit more blue, but Ocean Jade was number two....congrats on the car!!!! When you have this crazy of a colour (compared to Black, White, Gray), people will always ask you if it's paint or a wrap, and factory vs not.

New spark plugs, revised coils, and revised intercooler piping seals. Waiting on Tarett to send me some tie rods, and then the front suspension goes on.

Too hot to do much here in Florida but I was able to take a couple 996s out of the garage to clean up their sleeping quarters a bit 😀

Oh man, what a memory kickback on A&W. We don't have anything like that here now but when I was in high school we were at the A&W most nights for car hop service by cute babes in A&W tiny skirts. Hamburgers and giant root beers....
Sweet memories....growing up had some definite positives....
