Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By discworld717: I've really never understood the fascination with any green color other than British Racing Green on cars. They all remind me of children's toys. Is that a problem? Cars like Green and Orange and Purple and other bright colors are MEANT to scream “This is my awesome fun toy car!” I do not understand people who buy expensive Lambos or Porsche GT3s and get them in dull and boring colors. The entire point of cars like that are to be fun and outrageous toys. Sure, there are some sports cars and super cars when it might make sense, like a classy Aston Martin or something like that. But if your super car has wings, and big vents, or looks like a spaceship, then having an understated paint color is silly, IMO. |

I don't follow the forums much because of too much "mustang owner" tardness (sorry guys), so I'm not sure. Were it financially feasible, I would just store the car somewhere - or at least the engine.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DK-Prof: Originally Posted By AR15Texan: ... Porsche won't be making anymore manuals though. I thought they decided to make the manual available as an option on the 992 after a bunch of boomers complained. Kind of. The 7-speed manual is a reworked PDK, there are “shift actuators” or some such nonsense because the gears aren’t in order and the shift pattern would be all screwed up. The 6-speed in the GT3 touring is a legit manual gearbox but I think that’s it.

Maybe it’s the contrast between the car color and the electric shaver looking rear grill that really bugs me because your wide body 991 looks good in yellow. For me the cars are too big for flashy colors. |
