    C2S at Mt. Baldy

    Here are a few pix I took on saturday up in Angeles National Forest. The mountain road is okay but much too heavily patrolled for any serious fun .

    Yeah I remember seeing this car travelling 5fwy south near camp pendleton a couple months ago. had to be the same car; chances of another 997 in same color is remote. it really stands out; it drew my attention away from everything else in the distance!

    Signal green from 1967 is the official name I think. They weren't sure at the dealership.

    They were not sure

    Somebody placed the order and should know.
    Paint to samples don't just show up

    What good are dealerships

    I would like to say that I don't like it, but it actually works for me. Looks like the green M & M everyone tried to hoard (because it supposedly had magical powers on the ladies ) Funky and classic.

    Real ballsy

    I bet the security guards at your base just wave you through everytime with a chuckle...

    Since no one else is doing it, I'm going to be the first to say it's fugly. But I give Mose props for ordering that color. I struggled for two months over Slate vs Midnight. Kermit never entered the equation.

    Isn't there a saying that people who buy green cars tend to be smarter than average? I also heard that quote from Robert DeNiro in Meet the Parents.

    Very unique, I love the how the color shows the lines of the car. A gutsy choice that paid off IMHO.

    I'm not a big fan of green... but I think this one looks cool on your baby! I think some of the throw back colors( 60-70's) suit the 997 very well! Nice pics too! Thanks Mose!

    Yeah, really ruins it for me. Our safe, considerate, well-practiced "fun" is some bee-up-ass cop's "wreckless driving."

    ANY driving which isn't like Grandma in her Ford Taurus, gets you noticed and really kills it for me.

    I really want to like it, because I'm so bored with the standard Porsche colors.... but I don't. I would go for orange if it was available as standard

    As most of you, I find Mose very brave for chosing something different, but I would not chose it for 2 reasons; I don't like it, and I would not be able to sell it
