Went to breakfast with the PCA folks yesterday and rode in my friend’s 2008 Cayman. After spending 2 hours in the car I concluded that it wasn’t the car for me. I had thought that adding a newer pcar to the family would be fun and that the older midengine would be a smart choice. It just didn’t make me smile like the 914. When we were done with breakfast the line of cars all looked alike. I noticed that people notice more about the color of these cars than the lines of the body. No visual excitement
I need to get my locks fixed and get my car back on the road! |

That's a good assessment Billy, thanks.
I've always like the look and lines of a Cayman. Never had any seat time in one though. I need another car like I need another hole in my head. |

I have thought about Cayman Comfort, but for long drives the 914 is tough to beat. Luggage space like a SUV. Seats that work for my several damaged vertebrae and discs. Fun to drive. Good range. The 4 cylinder teener has taken me to both Rt 66 and Ockteenerfest. I drove it home from Baltimore with a very messed up fuel pressure regulator. The 3.2 has taken me to West Coast Ramble and Rt 66.
I am old. Real old. But it seems like not old enough. Would like hot and cold running air though. The Caymans may not look as cool as a 914, but they look cool to me. Nother sight of age…. |
