Quote from: RRocket on Today at 12:25 AMOh! I drove the car today, in the rain, to get some groceries.

Because of the cloudy gray skies, there was no light to make the metallic in the paint pop.

In this case, the car looked like a pale dijon mustard beige color.

Far more than any car I've owned, the color is influenced wildly by available light. And I've only owned it a couple of days!
Some of the best colors on vehicles are the type that change dramatically in different light settings.  I wonder if someone will ask you if it's a wrap just because it's such an uncommon color.
Past vehicles, 2016 VW Golf R, 2020 VW GLI, 2022 Honda Civic Si

Current vehicle, 2024 Acura Integra Type S

Can't remember from the ad, or you... but is the car lowered? It looks like it in the pictures... if so, is it just lowering springs, or coil-overs? Also wondering because you said the ride was quite good.

Still shop this gen of Boxster, just to see what's out there & track the prices. Kinda miss having a drop top, so if I were to switch out the 997, it would be for a 981 Boxster S  ;D 
Current rides - 2025 Mazda CX-70 GT-P, 2006 Porsche 911

It was lowered on H&R springs, but conditions of sale was to put it back to stock.
