Whatever blows your skirt up. I'm not a judgmental person. You have to remember, my wife is the one who selected the colors. And yes, she picked PCCBs because they're yellow, but I know her driving style and she'll ultimately benefit from the performance, and I'll rest easier when she's out racing around. Besides, like I said, I get to play with her car on the weekends, so I'm psyched she got the PCCBs. I'm also psyched she got the adaptive sport seats; I'm 6'4" 240 and those seats are great for me. And I like the multifunction steering wheel as well; we had a loaner Panamera for a few days, and the wheel sold itself; it's gloriously useful when combined with PCM/Nav/Bluetooth.
I also have to confess that I think the aqua blue, yellow, and black combo is just gorgeous. But I have a feeling I'm gonna feel a little weird when I'm behind the wheel. My car is black. My next car will be black. Or white.
Oh, for those who are wondering, the spacers were my idea. Yeah, they make it so the wheels fill out the fenders a bit better, and they do look cool, but the real reason I wanted them is for the more compliant ride. I got spacers on my car about a year ago, mostly for looks, but was amazed how they changed handling and ride characteristics, all for the better.
My biggest disappointment is that she wouldn't wait for the next-gen Boxster. Oh well.

Congrats on the purchase. I'm sure she will enjoy the car and you will too from time to time. It's always nice to actually enjoy driving the wife's car when you have to. My wife wanted a MINI Cooper S. I have to admit on the few times I have to end up driving it, I LOVE it.....lot's of fun. I wouldn't want to drive it every day, but every once in a while is great.

Were you able to negotiate the price down a little? That is one fantastic build and I love the fact that you would be dedicated to the boxster platform to that level. Love the PCCB's with the yellow belts!
