Carpokes

The surfboard looks amazing! Is it color-matched to the car?

As to the "picture fix" comment, yes it was in reference to your car (as well as everything else in the garage pic). And also yes, it's one heck of a Carrera, wannabe GT3 or not!

We had a 2010 GT3 (base model)but thanks to Covid and owning it for 7yrs making 103k profit, it made it hard to keep… so my son, missing the GT3 commented on how cool it would be with the same wing.. so I got one… the Carrera 2 badge will stay intact tho… no badge fudging

New to me 2010 turbo. Represented as having 700HP. It feels like it does! Love the PDK and ceramic brakes. I added the Forgelines and Mr12Volt CarPlay. Replaced the lap time clock with something useful.

Beautiful car - congrats! I love the wheels - they are awesome!
Really nice color too - it's liquid looking - a very dark blue (Dark Blue Metallic?)

Awesome! That car is screaming for a Dragy! Would love to see some numbers.

It is dark blue metallic with natural leather

The blue shows a little better

I do like the dark colors and that dark blue is terrific. Dark browns, dark grays, dark greens, and dark maroons are all good! Beautiful car!

If I ever luck out and manage to get a PTS Porsche, it will be a dark blue or a dark green.

In actuality, I've been studying, researching and salivating over PTS colors for several years now and am about 98% sure that it will be Verde British Racing Green. I've studied the actual Porsche-suppled painted metal samples, photos from any and every source I can find, the new (and much more accurate) 360° view for 911s in the configurator, etc. For me, Verde BRG is about as good as it gets. This rendering from Porsche is close:
