IT WAS FREAKIN' PINK.

I think that's the factory color "Coral". Very rare, for good reason.

Really? I mean... it was PINK! People at work were telling me, "Hey, did you see that gross pink Porsche outside?"

Learn something new everyday I guess.

I guess my sarcasm didn't really come through. next time I'll be sure to add some rolleyes as well!!!

Personally, I'm sick of these stupid threads that have not only no business being in Technical, but they aren't even mildly interesting.

hey, a pink car, wow! this will be a big help when I paint my own car next month. thanks! I was going to paint it pink, but now I know better. excellent technical post. <---- note rolleyes.

Nice.
Maybe it was original and it was a bit faded and made it really gross looking. All I know is, people at work other than myself, none of which know anything about cars, were walking outside to see the "funny pink Porsche."

I apologize for being a Color-Cop.

This car shows up at group drives. I've never met the driver. Car is a nice survivor.

Sorry about the lame focus, it was a drive-by.

I think it's hot. I'd drive it.

Cheers,
they are really stunning in person, and "work". Flat pink to match your flat black would be really cool.

That's funny, I saw the exact same car today, it was in front of Sunset-Gower studios. And it was definitely pink, not faded red.
