Default Another Blue (3AS)

MANY THANKS to Edgy and TommyV44 for turning me from the Mustard (SY) and Catsup (GR) side to the Blues side (well, mostly). (But my 10 y.o. daughter/color adviser demanded "EDGY Blue" on a new car.) There aren't many blues that I like enough to spend this kind of money on but this was one. If I did the pics right, here's another basically optioned GTS but in Turquoise Blue (it's a stunning color that you can't appreciate unless you see it); and this is why, if anyone wonders, I gave Mark a decent deal on the SY '08 C2S that I posted for sale here six weeks ago.

Pics are crummy and few but I'm jet-lagged so I'll try to do better when I get off European Time.

2012 GTS:
PTS - Blue Turquoise (3AS)
Front Intake Grille in Exterior Color
Headlight Washers in Exterior Color
Sport Bucket Seats (Alcantara Delete)
Sport Shifter
Sport Suspension w/ Limited Slip
Seat Belts in Guards Red
Instrument Dials in Guards Red

Default Gorgeous Blue!!!

Tim, great looking car! Especially love the GS Instrument dials. I'm still banging my head about not buying the car before Mark did...

Main reason I didn't pull the trigger was the fact that I knew I wouldn't have kept the car for too long. It would have only tied me over until I could save up more money to buy a used 997.2 C2(S) Cab. I was going to use the discount I saved from Tim's car and put it towards my desired car. That being said, I'm happy Tim found a great home for it with Mark. But it still hurts especially now that I'm no longer looking for 997.2 but for a 2012 Cayenne V6 (LONG STORY). Which is a great car, but no 911.

Tim,

Congrats - glad to see you have a Porsche back in the garage. I am still bummed I did not get to see your new GTS in the flesh. (and for the record, I think I got a smoking deal on a gently used 08 C2S ) I am still loving every minute behind the wheel.

Ren,

Thanks for hesitating(I know that is terrible) - I plan to keep the car for the long haul and I assume everything happens for a reason

It will all work out for you in time.
