Porsche's try on lime green stand out color...

no but I saw a purple boxster today with a blond in it. Wasn't fond of it myself.

 

The Boxster or the blonde......

 

I saw a convert 911 (probably 996) in Mill Valley CA on Sunday in the same skittle green; the seat backs were painted the same color.
It was the first time I’ve seen it, very different

 

Porsche makes green cars, but I have never seen one in "Skittle Green"

According to their website they have 2 different dark green colors, but for an additional $4,315 they will paint your car whatever color you want it painted (you supply the paint chip for them to match).

 

I've seen this same car, used to run by it with the cover on, I just assumed it was a special order.

 

IMO the Lambo can't carry the color either.

 

if i remember right there was one dude who did have his newer 996 or 997 cant remember which painted by the factory in Porsches mid 70s RS green.

 

Porsche had some really cool colors in the early '70s. My '69 911S is Aubergine. Basically... an eggplant purple sort of burgundy color with a touch of metallic tossed in. I love it!

Another of my favorites is Irish Green which is a very deep and rich darker green color that lights up in direct sunlight. They also offered a Viper Green.... which is the brightest florescent day-glow green you can possibly imagine. Sounds nutty, but early 911's and RS's really do look great in Viper Green.

There were some florescent purples, oranges and blues dating from that period as well.

Not lime green, but a local dealer recently sold a Porsche in this color:

OK I suppose,... if you cut hair for a living...

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

Damn, they must be good at cutting hair.

 

if you own the salon it can be $$$$. Salon owners often take a cut (40-70%) of the work done by all of their people, you get $200-400 haircut and color jobs and it can all add up.

 

This Porsche color has been around for a while: http://www.pca-chicago.org/images/ourcars/matta/GreenMeanie.jpg

 

Was it a Ruf Porsche ? There is a lime green one of those kicking about. Its supposedly a removable paint over a silver base.

The 996 I remember from Mill Valley was closer to this color but a bit more green. This is a Mercedes

Haha Seinfeld fan I hope?

If i remember correctly, the original owner was a gentleman and he looked like the typical business type in a suit, but who knows nowadays.

 

I don't know.....

The boxster. The blond was fine-other than her terrible choice of color. The boxster though is a great car.
