It's like, "Nah, I don't need any enjoyment in life. I'm good with just sitting here and breathing. And playing with my own genitals."

I am not a fan of Porsche’s beige interior, but I like the exterior with the lobster claws. A red interior would look good…

I'm not a fan of the porsche beige interior but it didn't stop me from buying and enjoying a porsche with one. I don't really think about the interior or the exterior when I'm driving but I'd still take a boring color that I don't love over a shouty color that I don't love (which will actively irritate me). The most important thing to me about a porsche exterior is its shape and sculpting. White doesn't do them favors but neither do red or many other bright colors. With a silver, a gray or a nice metallic, I can focus on the shape. With a lava orange (saw one in my neighborhood yesterday), I only see the color (in this case salmon) not the sculpture that it is. I think for various cars, bright colors are good. E.g. jeeps or lambos and many others. Just not when I want my eyes to wander over the 911 or cayman form. |

I test drove cayman R's when they were new in the spring of 2012. While not exactly languishing in lots, deals off msrp were a thing (more than 5%, less than 10% off). I had the 997.2 at the time and the cayman R was as fast but more fun.
Matt bought his in 2018 at the same time as a Model 3 performance or whatever trim he got. So compared to that revolution, they paled. Not entirely surprising. I like the peridot, even though it's bright, it's metallic enough and unique to the R. I won't take the LWB's though, those seats are horrible for road comfort. |

Nah. Boring is boring and there's nothing wrong with self-gratification. It's just boring.
