I guess someone will eventually buy it. No such thing as an ugly 911.

I was at the dealer yesterday...the thing looks hideous. They specced it out like this for the Houston auto show and displayed it.

At the auto show? I wonder how many customers they scared off with this one!

I guess there is a downside after all to Option 98 (Non-Metallic Paint to Sample). And only $3625 extra, what a deal. The sad thing is they probably had to wait extra time for delivery.

I'm not opposed to bright colors on p-cars, but this green doesn't work. Perhaps it would look ok on a turbo or a gt2.
