The white 07 GT3 is awesome.

While I like the green/beige for many cars, sedans, Land Rovers etc, I don't think it goes well on a boxster gts. Just my 2 cents.

This isn't exactly the right thread for it, but we don't really have a generic Boxster thread, so I'll dump it here.
TIL that Cobalt Blue was a $3000 option on my car, which I found surprising for whatever reason. And it really caused me to rethink my hard core stance against paying big money for optional colors, because honestly this color is amazing and it's one of my favorite parts of the car. Also, I came across this review that mentioned Cobalt Blue and I just wanted to bask in its epic, epic wrongness: Quote:

Cobalt is a pretty badass color and I recall using it exclusively in all my configuration builds at the time.

I like blue but was not in love with Cobalt... I can see it's ok on the boxster, but not on the cayman. Reminds me of that wrx blue or Estoril - neither of which are favorites. My top choice for that car was Atlas and I got it. Still though, I wouldn't kick it out of bed. in these color-starved days.
Oh, those were the days when there 5 to 10 dealers in a 1-2 hr radius with manual cars, S and non-S, in all sorts of colors. What I want from my cars has not changed one bit. I don't need more air suspension, more power, more gps, more bluetooth... But what is on offer has passed me by. |

I’ve had WR Blue Pearl, Montego Blue, and whatever VW called the blue on the R...Rising Blue? So those blues are extremely my jam.
But atlas is interesting, there’s more to it than typical greys. Still, I’ve come to conclude that bright colors on cars make me happy. It’s nice to stand out some. |

This turned out to be a good price for this car.
