Arena Red & priced right

Looked a long time but finally found a car that was not silver, white, black, or bright red. Knew the car I was going to end up with would be either dark red or blue and finally found this 2000 in Seattle with 40K on the clock.
Weather here is just starting to get nice and should be able to put the top down soon.

Nice ride. Thats a big ass pic! How come they always show up that big if they are not reformatted? It's such an unpractical size. How do you reformat pics?

Thanks for the offer on the wheels but the first order of business is a set of Xenons. I see they are on sale again at Suncoast.

Obviously I haven't bothered trying to ideally size the pics yet either. Guess it's a social skill I need to learn soon.

Arena Red

Yes, It is arena red officially. Look at my post in the tech discussions about the "infamous" Porsche option codes and you'll see the paint code there.

They have a new color now called "Carman" red. Very close to the arena red, the only way you can tell them apart is to have the cars side by side. Appears the carman is slightly darker yet.

The lighter burgundy from Porsche is called "Orient" red.

Hey, I'm in the light business. If you want to help me get rid of these big wheels in my basement, I will get you a set of litronics at my wholesale cost which is lower than the Suncoast price (I'm in the xenon light business). Email me and we'll talk.
