I think I am thinking of the Obsessed Garage guy but yeah it seems to be a whole genre.

I suspected that might have been the one you were thinking of.

Also someone has to tell motorman not to say “the Ukraine.”

But interesting spec choices. Not sure what his big secret is that makes the full buckets relevant; guess that will be revealed at some point. He made a bunch of choices that I wouldn’t (red stitching doesn’t work in my mind on cognac, eg, especially with gold wheels), and I can’t imagine buying any car in Gentian, let alone a GT car. But the gold wheels pop nicely, and I’m glad he could spec it out the way he wanted.

Good for him that his channel is doing that well! I certainly prefer him to Tavarish or Hoovie or the weirdo with the detailing fetish.
Agreed. I do like Gentian, but not on a GT3. I would consider it on a base 911 or an S or a Turbo.

I have seen 3-4 Ts on RL recently delivered in it.

It’s not a bad color, just relentlessly bland. It’s a very Camry color.

I finished watching MotorMan’s GT3 T video earlier this morning. I am left scratching my head regarding so many items on his build. Oh well, to each their own. I sincerely hope that he thoroughly enjoys it.

It definitely reminds me of BMW’s Tanzanite. Meh… which is certainly a pain in the ass to maintain. Just as bad a black.

Agreed on those dark blues.

I like tanzanite more; it’s more interesting. Gentian just ends up looking dull in everything but a very specific light. It reminds me of the dark blue that Tesla uses.

Dial 911

I’m a sucker for dark blues so I coujd see myself going the Gentian route as well. I don’t really understand all the red accents though- doesn’t really work with the color combo imo.

Oddly I’ve never owned a blue car even though I’ve considered it on every car

Exactly.

Certainly an odd combination of options from my POV as well.
