Great color combo. Truly one of the prettiest 996s I've seen. I think the simple shape without tacked on body parts and jutting bumpers is the best looking. I'm also very partial to Blue ;)

Buying a 996 for the street will only make you wish you had a Boxster. Why not take the opportunity to try some other great sports car. Porsche isn't the last name in sports cars...
