I dont remember the ad, but now that I have a kid, it really resonates.

For some individuals, yes. Why settle for a color combo that is not favorable to you regardless if all the other boxes are checked. You still have to look at it when you get in and out of it.

At 7k miles not much should be wrong with it other than seals and hoses drying out. Low mileage is not always a good thing if maintenance has been neglected.

I know this firsthand —I bought a low mile 993 and it had dry rot. Cost real money to address most of it. Good thing it had like a 12qt oil reservoir.

I know you guys have read me write this, but I went all out this time for the first half of my setup because I was sick of compromising on color, trim, preowned state of use and age of vehicle, quite frankly.

It’s amazing on this side of it. Don’t care that it cost extra. I care that I got what I wanted. With no regrets (other than I wish for a manual in the Turbo’s).

I’m hoping to apply the same for the GT3 purchase. But if you guys can convince to buy some other trim level, I’m all ears.

Macadamia over sand beige; it's not my favorite combo, but at least it's sort of intriguing:

Those elegant combos work well on 911's.

It’s a nice and unique car.

Good find. Man. The car pops in that color in a way it does not in white or silver.

Very tasteful, if not my taste. Could certainly live with it and probably appreciate it more over time.

I like Macadamia, but uncertain how long I could personally live with it. Brown is probably the worst automotive color. I am not a fan of brown at all as I have been slowly eradicating it from my home that was five years old (now eight) when I purchased it from the original owner. After the fact it became clear to me that they loved brown. lol

Yeah it’s one of those colors where I’ll admire it for being different but not really want to own it. Feel similarly about bright greens and blues as well
