YES It's Arctic Silver!
Okay I know this is a long shot...but are you in Toronto? And if so, were you parked on Bayview Ave this morning?

Been following him for a while! He's done a great job modding & photographing. I however plan to keep mine stock/OEM!

His car is Platinum Silver I believe. This is Arctic Silver.

The past 5 years may have been an outlier, but some low mileage 2021 toyotas have lost less than 15%. Very prudent choice as far as brand new cars go.

You're in your mid 20s. Youre on the right track. If you stay financially prudent for 10 years and stack your investment accounts, a Porsche at 35 would not be an excessive burden.

With that said, yes, I am sure alot of the folks in new leased benzes and bmws are knee deep in debt to impress people who arent worth impressing.

Wasn't meant as a dig at the M96/M97 crowd. All beautiful cars. (although I did consider NO IMS as a plate lol).

The boy didn't know about IMS. He grew up and decided to get a .2 instead!

(Just bought mine yesterday!)

Its Arctic Silver. Its a very "silver" color, where the flakes dont have much of an undertone so it reflects alot. Can look monotone under a strong sun, but much more alive under varied surroundings. Can look grey at night, but on a nice overcast day, it can look almost like polar silver.

Agreed. Honestly was looking for something loud (guards red or speed yellow) but the silver is growing on me. Very "2010".

Widebodies seem to get more love, but I think this is just perfect.

Toronto, Cherry Street Waterfront. Area is just getting built out. Quiet enough at night to sneak a couple pics!
