    I'm a little color blind, is that seal grey on your 997? Whatever color its nice. The cobalt blue is nice, stands out a bit much for me, but still cool. And I actually dont like the look of the GT, maybe just that angle but looks too chopped up.

    I used a wide angle lens on the C-GT shot. That is distorting it a bit.

    My color is GT silver.

    Umm, it's sea blue. It's a dark bluish-grey. Looks black from a distance. But thanks for the compliment.

    I'm storing the 19" Carrera Classics that came with the car for the winter. This will be a dedicated set of winter wheels and tires.

    Sorry dude. I had the dealer swap out the wheels before I picked up the car. They're storing them for me. Sorry. But, wait a couple of months (spring thaw) and I'll have them!
