Former member must have had a relapse of e9 fever. This is well known to be a chronic condition, that while treatable (i.e. buy an e9) is not curable and will universally relapse if patient does not have an e9. Attempts at substituting other models (e.g. e24, 911, etc.) for the e9 have failed to prevent relapse in all reported cases.
I have always thought the coupes (e9, e24) have looked best in darker colors (but then again inka, taiga, and silver look great too), but this is a very attractive coupe in chamonix and appears to well sorted. Might be a good example for the "by the best you can afford" approach in contrast to buying a $10K coupe that needs $25K of work.
