Its a color I've not seen often, but now that you mentioned it. I do recall this blue on earlier Porsches and remembering I thought it complemented the car. The original owner did a nice job picking the options.
The car is perfect for me and my sidekick "LugNut". Thanks!!!

Stunning and different color combo to be sure. I looked at a dark blue with two tone interior car a year ago at HBL Porsche in Tysons Corner. It was beautiful but my heart was set on boring silver.

And yes, the PDK on these cars is great for traffic in this area. Sometimes I feel like I'm cheating, driving a PDK car and not shifting, but mostly, I don't care and simply enjoy the easy ride and super fast speed.

I let my good friend drive it the other day (no one else has driven it yet). I don't think he'll ever forget his time in the car. I was in the passenger side, semi-nervous but happy he was enjoying himself. And he drove it very cautiously. He knows I'd "kill him" if anything went wrong.

Tyson's is where I bought this car... The previous owner had the car serviced there too... A recent Plugs and Oil change was over $1400.00. The original owner also supplied new OEM coils...even though the ones on the car were perfectly fine. According to the dealership the previous owner was very, very paticular. Which was perfect for me...
You're a good freind to let your buddy drive your car.... I had a vision of you tazing him should he step out if line.
I just moved to the beach, so I need to find a "best freind" with a boat...LoL.
