How pink is it going to be?

That rose metallic that was OEM on late '80's 911's, or Mary Kay pink?

Shawn,

Will she be driving her own 911 in the Auto X at the Taj event? I like the color, BTW.

I can pick it up next Thursday. It probably won't make it to the Taj event. She wants it painted so it will be in pieces for awhile.

Dean, I love it! I am printing that off for inspiration.
We looked at a couple Boxsters but she felt the need for a backseat to haul kids around.

Doug, No backdating. I am not allowed to modify the car in any way. (other than the color change). It will remain absolutely bone stock.
