If you like the color scheme this is a great deal - I think it's $10k too cheap!

I showed my fiancé that car. She doesn't like red. She wants black, white or dark blue. I had an Arctic silver car and she didn't like that.

The Cab experience increases the P-car one at least 10X, maybe 100X, but I'm a motorcyclist at heart.

For me it started again early in '02 when my wife bought a Boxster which we still have BTW. I drove it more than she did and she told me to get my own. I looked for 15 months and found the perfect highly optioned AS 996 Cab C2. Loved it for 7 years. Looked for the perfect 996TT Cab, found it, had it going on 6 years, just turned 30K miles. I wanted a car to drive, issue free, always ready for a drive in the canyons top down or a run through the desert. I wasn't looking for a project so I left it stock. Reliability is more important than an on going hobby. Cabs rule! There is a reason there are so many Cabs in '04 and '05!

How about an X50 Cab?

No relation or knowledge of the car other than the ad.

I want a quick sale so I can order my 991.2. If it doesnt sell, I'll add more power and keep her.

If my significant other told my what color car I could or couldn't have, I would be single in a heartbeat.

I had GF's like that in the past! Trust me the "controlling" will only get worse if you marry. My wife of 40 years has let me be my own person, and I reciprocate. That's the only way it can work.

Run away while you still can! If you stay, I suppose "she" will not agree to a pre-nup which you may need very badly. That is unless she is the source of most all your income. Not trying to be condescending in any way, just trying to help.

we share a mortgage already so a prenup is too late. she cosigned my loan application so i'll let her have a a say in the color. I look on the bright side. with her credit i am now able to look at 997 turbos and 991 c2s
