Thank you everyone for all of your input.

Paint on some parts of the car was defective. Thank god for warranty.

I like your current ride as is, and am looking forward to spotting it again whenever you get a new color.
That is a very nice blue, but USB is as BLUE as I'd go.

Thanks man!

Was considering a Deep Purple, but I'm not in but I'm afraid it will come with black paint type maintenance.

Might be on to something, but I'm afraid it might be TOOO blue. Have to give this color and Estroli Blue a second look.


However, I think I may have found a color that I like almost as much as I liked PASM.
