Gang--

Your welcoming of me into the Porsche fold has been tremendous...thank you so much for the encouragement and kindness...

I returned from a quick business trip today and went straight for my garage upon my return...when told of my intent to take a drive, my wife actually asked, "Why?" Some people just don't get this Porsche passion!

True, that! A few months ago I was out of town for a couple of days and did the same thing.... wanted to go for a drive. My wife also asked "Why?" I said "For the thrill.... it's either that or a BJ!" My wife's reply was "Enjoy the drive!"

You can always combine them.

What awesome pics. Carmon is pretty sweet....but I have a question.
I was looking at picking up a carmon/grey cab, but a friend said it was a "girly" color.
You guys seem to disagree. What, if anything, is wrong with carmon?

Girly? Are you kidding me? Did you see those pics? That car is gorgeous! I also have a Carmon Red CS and like it very much. That is why I asked earlier if Carmona and Carmon were the same. Actually considered that color for my new C4S but its no longer available.

I really like Carmon(a) Red on a 911. It is in my top 4 "best colors" for a 996/997. Very rich and elegant looking, IMO.

Urbanski--

"Girly" definitely doesn't come to mind for me with this color...I think it's because it's actually a pretty deep, dark color...meaning, it comes off as masculine?

Living in Southern Cal--where there are LOTS of beautiful cars everywhere you look--I have been really surprised by how much attention the color/car combo draws...unsolicited compliments from people in parking lots, at the gas station...and, pedestrians and fellow-motorists that I observe taking double-takes and gazing at the car. I haven't noticed a puzzled expression that conveys, "What a girlie-color!" Though, admittedly, I am not a lip reader...!
