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! |

I am surprised (and a little disappointed) that you didn't like the Cayman Billy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
If you find something more engaging, plese let me know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) There is NOTHING like a 914 (with a flat 6) if you are seeking Permagrin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Billy DID say that he rode in the car for 2 hours. I contend that if he were in the driver's seat for that length of time he might have a more favorable opinion of the Cayman platform. The six in the Cayman also sings a beautiful song. |
