Oh Man,

With that much disposable income, I would rather buy a Carrera GT. Then I could total it like Lewis Hamilton's ol' man, and be airlifted back to the track for more fun.

The natural progression of a $100K Carrera>Turbo>Cabriolet....

in the 1920's they would have said this was a real sport's car and not a sports car.

Pink is one of my favorite colors, but some things were not meant to be pink!

One of my sisters boyfriends wanted to chrome paint a corsica.... Fortunately she's not with that guy anymore. As for the gold, I though black was hard to keep clean, anything that shiny paint or otherwise must be awful to keep clean.

And pink boxsters? I've got a friend who has pink wheels on a blue boxster, looks pretty good actually! I think the wheels are all pink now but this was the only pic I could find.

I think the pink and blue on your friend's car looks good because it's got a racing look. But when you start just randomly painting wheels pink it just doesn't work.

Someone did a gold boxster a while ago, and it looked just as bad.
I wouldn't want a gold car, blue is hard enough to keep clean.

The pink on that racing Boxster looks okay. The owner is actually a member here:

"How I sank a small fortune into a used car and other misfortunes" is the subtitle.

Sheesh. I could have written that book easily.
