I love that car, it makes me want to find one just like it ... That color combo is beautiful, my friend/neighbor had a similar color combo on his 997.2s cab though it was an off white ... What a beauty though I prefer the regular white.

Amazingly, you still see some adds with 3 poorly framed photos that seem to have been taken at dusk with a Motorola Startac.

Easier to hide problems that way. There's a reason NBC slightly defocused the NBC Nightly News studio cameras after they started broadcasting in HD on nights Brian Wilson anchored but not others.

Even our local HD news now has digital software that automatically "de-uglifies" lol

It does. I'm not a fan of those center lock wheels, but my biggest issue is ugh, why does everyone order these in pavement grey?

Gray is actually really rare on the GTS. 90% of them appear to be black or white.

Also, please note that the car is in Virginia, though way out west.
