Doogs, the "Cloudy with a Chance of Rain" picture of you '06 is awesome.

 

I was on cruise control in the right lane bopping along at 65mph listening to some good music and enjoying the day. Cars were passing me one after another and I didn't really care. I was in the zone.

Then a sporty coupe with two young ladies pulled even with me instead of passing. I looked over and the passenger gal raised her shirt and flashed me! Then she covered up and they sped off never to be seen again.

I don't think BRG gets this kind of response.

 

Doogs Clubby is just like my Otto except I don't have a front license plate and I have a stubby antenna so the car cover fits over it. I love the red. I was between BRG, Laser Blue and Chili Red, even to the point I had told the MA Laser Blue.
I woke in the middle of the night and knew it had to be the red. I emailed him and changed it and never looked back. I am in love with this car.

Think of it as ladybug colors instead of political stuff. I have a small stuffed ladybug in my car and also one of my lifesize gorillas (Joe) with a red dinosaur shirt from a London Museum. (I think he is in my gallery, if not I'll put him there.)
The gorilla's pal is a Mr Bean Bear and a little black sheep rides in the back. Of course I own a stuffed animal shop so I always have mascots in my cars.
NO people, just stuffies. So much less complaining that way.

 

CR/B reminds you of ***** ?!?! Weird.

Anyway, both are classic colors, although BRG would be more so if it weren't a metallic paint.

While both are great colors, BRG is a little more subtle. CR is an eye-grabber, especially when dressed up properly.

 

WOW, that is a sweet Cooper!!

 

Why, thank you Dear... how kind of you to say so.

 

Or one of those poison dart frogs from the Amazon. It may be small, but it packs a helluva punch!

I have to admit, I don't get the **** association. And I'm just about as big a history dork as you can be. I majored in it in college, keep up with it to this day (currently reading Peter Heather's Fall of the Roman Empire - fantastic, btw), and I've spent the last span of years writing a novel about the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage.

Point being...if I don't make the connection right off the bat, I doubt many others will, either. Unless you paint a swastika on the side, or something.

P.S. - if you're freaking out about possible **** associations, Porsche did a good deal of built work for the Third Reich's war machine. My memory's a bit hazy, but I know they made turrets for the Panther and Tiger tanks.

 

Mine speaks for it self.......but then again you really can't go wrong with any of thr combos

 

I almost bought a CR/B and in fact had put down the deposit for one. In the end, I chose a BRG/W because it just seemed more like me. Always buy something that fits you and you will be happy. Congrats on your future CR/B Mini, its a beauty!!
