Got the car all cleaned up last week and took some pictures. Last time I posted some they were s*** camera phone pictures. These should do a little more justice. Enjoy!

Sharp looking car. I want to race against one of those and see how I measure up.....in a straight line.

Beautiful. How do you put the spoiler up like that when it's parked?

Theres a button you can push to move it up or down. But it does go up on its own at 80mph. I just put it up to get a few pictures with it up since you rarely see any of those.

Yeah that trunk is massive for a rear engined car. I was expecting a little cubbyhole.
Still one of my favorite porches.

I'm jealous :( How hard is it to do work on it and what not with the engine being in another ZIP code?

Dont know. But more then likely I wont even touch the engine in this car. So not worried at all. The car even tells you the oil level on the dash.

Definitely a nice car, and anyone that knocks it is probably jealous! Haha.

That being said, wasn't the Cayman the Porsche were they designed the rear around fitting two golf bags in it so you could take a friend to the country club? I'm almost sure of it.

I definitely like the car, but if I was going to drop that type of money on a car I'd go for a Carrera personally. Unless this is your DD, because they the added trunk space makes sense.

Amazing cars. I always thought they looked way better in person than in pictures. I remember sitting outside the Porsche factory in Stuttgart just looking at all the eye candy rolling around.

Nice pics, but there's a big reason the rear spoler retracts under 80mph, and owners almost never leave them up aside from a race track: It's ugly.

Freaking nice man! I love the Cayman S, one of my favorite Porsche's. That chassis is superior to the 911's.

Yeah, the lines in the rear of the car just don't make the transition to photographs well. They still look good in pictures, but they look amazing in person.

If I were going to own a Porsche that wasn't a 928, the Cayman would be it.

I like my Porsches as un-Porsche as possible. :chuckle:

Gorgeous.

From a non-Porsche fan, that's one of the most perfectly purpose-built cars on the planet. Beautiful.

Hmmm. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense, now that I've slept. :)

Should have said, "Coming from a person who's not really a Porsche fan..."

I'm starting to want a P-car more and more. I've got a few local bad influences.

Very nice.

That should plant you firmly behind the wheel of a Cayenne or a Panamera.
