Lugano looks good, though, at least in renders.
Oak Green is tops. Looks much better than Aventurine, which I also like a great deal.

I suppose I am glad I was able to get Shark Blue. Now if PAG would finish my car and get it shipped. Lesson learned, do not order a legitimate Exclusive Manufacktur option that is bespoke if you are in a hurry. Fortunately, I am not really in a hurry, but it would be nice to have the car as the longer I wait the more I begin to question my purchasing decision. Maybe I rather keep the funds?

Edit: When I was considering ordering a facelifted Cayenne, Montego Blue was my number one color until I saw it in person. Aqua or Sapphire blue were better offerings.

I performed a new 992 manual search this morning on PCNA. There were 12 within a max of 500 miles from Knoxville. I counted 9 manual Carrera Ts, most were incoming, but there were two or three allegedly on site. Porsche Tysons Corner has nicely spec’ed C2S. I am guessing a customer ordered it and possibly backed out? I would suspect it has a hefty ADM too.

I just realized that this kitchen utensil rack I have is basically a Porsche color configurator. Speed yellow, viper green, lava orange, ruby star, Mexico blue, and Linden.

I guess bright, stand-out, look-at-me colors that were hard sells 20, 15 or even 10 years ago are *in*.

Stupid $60 purchase that makes me super happy... Custom 911 puddle lights that I had made.

What I sent in vs what I received.
