Nice car Ken, wish you had bought mine, but you got this one looks really nice too! For those of you who want a Cobalt Blue one, mine is still available with just 7900 miles!!!!

Thanks!

Mark FM's car is a fine example too. I got pretty far down the road with his, including a PPI by the local Porsche dealer that gave it a clean bill of health. It was clear that Mark is a fanatical owner who takes very good care of his cars. GLWS Mark.

funny how 'your' cobalt blue avatar is much darker (not too mention cleaner) than 'my' avatar

I promise to update my avatar as soon as I have an appropriate action shot of the mex...

p.s
I have a nurburgring sticker if you want to put it on the car, since it's entitled to wear it!

Yes, now that I see the avatar pics side by side it looks like two completely different cars, although the shots are taken from almost the exact same angle. Funny.

car hadn't been washed for a week, and had done about 2k miles ... and the photo was not in direct sunlight but overcast skies ...

I love the cobalt, I missed mine so much that I ordered the RS in blue... best photographed with the sun a bit lower to bring out it's brighter tones.

LB - I figure the pattern I'll follow is to wait a few years and pick up your hand-me-downs on a regular basis. If you have not done so yet, please post some pictures of the Mexico Blue '10. I saw this in person and its stunning as well as unique. I will try to post interior pix of mine as well. I really like the painted center console.
