Right, but it could hit next winter...

Two things:

1. I don’t buy new cars?

2. Remind me to never tell you about the 991.2 TTS purchase…..

Example of a PTS that turned out nicely, “Nardo Grey”?

I know. $12,000 for paint is still stupid.

So he paid $12,000 to have his 911 painted the same color that comes standard on an F150?

Just on principle it would bother me to pay PTS prices for an existing VW group color (in this case Audi). If I were going to spend that money, I'd want to send them a swatch of a truly unusual color.

My friend has a f150 in that color and pretty sure nardo looks different but I get your point. Also nardo is similar to chalk
