Put a tail on it, add some cheesy backround music, and pass it off as Barney at kid's parties!

Not quite as nice as the old Aubgergine(sp?) color on some older, long nosed 911s.

I DO consider myself a lesbian - I mean, I like women, right? If there's **** on the menu, I'd lean towards lesbian ****... And I live in Asheville, NC, a very concentrated lesbian mecca of sorts - lot's of comfortable shoes here.


Oh, the car - well, hmmm - cool, but I wouldn't want to be driving it,

I like it too - I'd take a unique color over silver, grey or black any day!

Someone out there paid $8K to do a Paint To Sample and I'll bet there's someone else out there who saw that ad and said "Wow!" and is going to buy that car. Individual tastes, it's just the way it goes.

I seriously considered a Paint to Sample a few years ago because I really liked the Glacier Metallic Blue that BMW had in the 90's but Porsche didn't have such a color (neither does BMW anymore), but the cost was insane. Just couldn't see getting it back on resale.

Then, about a year ago I saw a F430 done in almost the same color. Doh!! Should have done it, it looked fantastic.
