Default My dark olive green metallic 997 turbo

Hello all.
I thought I share some pics of my Dark Olive Green Metallic 997 turbo. I swore I was done buying cars but I just could not pass this one up. I have never seen this color in my life and just had to have it.
When the sun hits it, it shows the green
enough talking here are some pics.

It's a beauty. I enjoy seeing these cars in non-traditional colors and that olive green is really stunning.

Congrats and nice job catching the color! I find it very hard to photograph.

I have a near twin. DOM 997.1TT coupe manual. Was your car bought out of Chicago? I called the second day it listed and it was sold.... good catch!

Absolutely gorgeous. Getting photos in the sunlight like that last 3/4 rear shot definitely makes a difference.

I was just grabbing dinner at a local pub... I don’t usually say much or impressed by much yet I yelled out “WOW perfect” when I scrolled through the photos.

Now I look like a crazy guy.

Beautiful!!! I normally would avoid greens, but that is just perfect. Next door neighbor just got a new Benz, unless its in the right light, it looks black, but with light its very similar though more of a bluish-green look, very nice.

I guess at night it pretty much always looks black but in the day, stunning green. Sweet! I'm sure they didn't make many of these at all.

I love green. I have my RR in similar color and it classy.

Up keep is like a black color. But you also have to make sure you keep that beige interior clean.

If you are able to keep it clean and tidy, I think you will have a winner and future collector combo.

Absolutely lovely! I had a 2008 Cayenne S in the same color combo. Hard to photograph, but in the sunlight it's a stunning color.

Congrats on the purchase.
