Weird that Artic Silver is a $800 option and Polar Silver is about a $3000 option........ ... I forget the exact pricing but that's crazy !

IIRC, Artic Silver is more like silver and Polar Silver is more of a light blue not really silver.

I work for a software company in Redmond, WA. I think you can figure that one out. And yes, they are always hiring.

9 Boxsters is just the bottom half of the parking garage of 1 building There are a few 911's, but more Boxsters in my building. Some other building have more 911's then Boxsters. There is a mix of just about every kind of high performance car on campus.

The lunch time rallys are only done at the local karting track down the street.

Let's see... I have two black cars, a black bike, and a black dog

Once you go black, you never go back

Happy Friday !

Who cares how rare a color is? If you want rare, go pink.
I really like my Box in black, and I'm pretty sure everyone here loves theirs in whatever color they chose. The fact that there may be thousands other nice black Box's out there does not affect my pleasure one bit whenever I look at mine.

I would have picked black had I bought it brand new


.... Red is my second choice.


Silver looks good too I guess ..... at least it hides the dirt.


I have a black RSX-S as my daily driver !

I wanted a seal grey or black boxster when I was shopping but when I saw my dark green one I fell in love with her. I have yet to see another green Porsche.

Jeff, you just lowered your chances by asking this.

As a matter of fact, there is an in house legal department.

What's funny is that all the Boxsters are 986's.

I haven't seen him in his 959, but I have seen him driving an Acura MDX a few years ago.
