Ice Blue Again Damn

Dealer called tonight. Ice Blue Color is now avail again. I started last Feb was told in August that Ice Blue wouldn't happen So I went PTS Azzurro California Blue now I can have Ice Blue and save $5k

Sometimes I wish this build would just be over. My first thought is wow save the money but I really like the thought of having a 1 of a kind Turbo S I am already spending too much so the swing won't hurt or help me.

Anyone have any thoughts to help a dummy who should have just ordered Silver and been done months ago.

Build date Dec 10 so I have a day or two to make final final final decision

Get what you always wanted. Spending that much on a new car, you should be 100% happy with your decision or you'll always wonder "what if".

Love Atlas. Macadamia?? IMO, one color a sports car should never be and that's brown (or variants thereof). Rolling turd comes to mind

Wife already has Umber Cayenne S really want a blue wanted Mexico Blue but the rest of the family threatened to have me committed if I went to the Smurf Side thought about a Speedster but not enough power for what I wanted had to have a Turbo this time around. Will be my last build may get a Fcar in a few years but I will buy a garage queen that someone else took the big hit when that time comes.

Get what you want. If I ordered one today it would be ice blue. Polar is another great color.

Have you seen the PTS color on a car in person? If you cannot definitively make the choice- why not default to the one you know you have seen and take any of the risk out?

Failing that option, having read a number of your posts on multiple threads, I think you were really enjoying having a one of a kind car. Sticking with your PTS choice would be best.

Great to see you're still alive and kicking. I still have the turbo as does Atomic, although he has added a Ferrari Scuderia to his stable.

I think the IBM will still be 1 of a kind for at least a several hundred mile area. And per the commercial adds and brochures it really looks rare and nice.
