I actually like that car. I think the cocoa interior looks especially rich with the meteor exterior, and the wood plays off nicely. More people should order wood in street-driven Porsches; it really shouldn't be the faux pas that it is. The yellow stitching and belts aren't bad - they do match the PCCBs - but light gray would've looked better.

So what is that, 1 in favor v. 30 against?

How about deviated stiching that matches the exterior paint? I once saw a guards red 911, black interior with the red stiching-awesome.

Someone will buy it...maybe not at that full retail, but it will sell.

Make it two in favor. I would like to see the wood in person. Flash Photos sometimes give false impressions. For $130k I'd take it. At $168+ it is a very nice showroom decoration. With the savings I'd fix the little things that gave me trouble

Nope, when ordering "deviated stitching" there are still several boxes you need to check to get everything deviated.

And they forgot to order the steering wheel in deviated stiching. Is that even an option?

(I apologize if anyone out there is actually looking to buy this car).
