Had an Ocean Blue Boxster prior to my 4S - great color and while darker than the subject car, Blue is an awesome color on the Porsche.

Blue is a terrible color for a Carrera.

(Okay--just kidding!)

Got the blue one.

That white one (my fav color) shows up less that 48 hours after my offer for the blue was accepted ... this is after weeks of searching.... hence "Murphy's law"

Blue is always better. Whites are nice but the blues are pretty darn nice out of Zuffenhausen...and they stand out better in the parking lots!

Congrats - it's also another law I can't think of at the moment...that one sometimes will end up with what they did not intentional seek, and be even happier!

When I looked for my car I was finding a silver car (my fav color), never thought about Aqua Blue. Then when one with the right options and price worked out, almost 1 year later I'm still staring at it every evening in my garage....

Silver and all shades of blues have always been my favs on cars btw.

Drove out around 3am just got back, missed almost all traffic but rained hard most of the way there and back


too tired to share thoughts aside from "love that PDK" and the Blue is nicer than I remember it being.

Here is it getting a fill up in Reading PA:

Did you wipe it down after the rain? It looks clean. And again, congrats, blue is beautiful
