I'd love a Cayman, but I'm so loving leery of issues with them. After someone here (einteir?) had his explode they've made me nervous.

That said I got to play with a 997 GT3 on some back roads a few days ago, and that thing sounded amazing when I was behind him.

Remember to practice safe Porsche and wash your car. As I defy the law and wash my car in California.

Just don't buff it or you'll break it.

Is this an in joke or something?

Pretty sure dude posted in this thread. He used a mechanical random orbit buffer on his Cayman and it shorted the ECU.

They don't exist anymore. A year ago, I saw tons in the 13-17 range.

Now they're all over twenty, which kills the value proposition they had. In the teens, they were interesting. In the 20s, I'll take a 'vette.

The only IMS cure is an LS.

I bought the cheapest of cheap ones there years ago and it still hasn't died, or caught fire. I'm pretty sure you can get $10 coupons for them pretty regularly, or at least you used to be able to. It doesn't have a ton of power but it's been more than fine for cutting sheet metal or bolts when I've used it.

They've gotten worse. My ancient one is still kicking. My new version of it has been replaced 4 times, and even the one that 'works' will stop and pour smoke if used for more than about 90 seconds.

Anyone know why Caymans are a premium over the equivalent Boxster? Are they not just the same car with a fixed roof?

Because a roadster is a much harder sell, and they still have girl car stigma.

Do you mean Boxsters or convertibles/roadsters/spyders in general? I thought that bit of idiocy had died out.

Boxsters. Although any small convertible is still going to have the same stigma attached.

I thought my 996 shifter was okay, but it's definitely not a S2000 shifter.

If you ever want to enjoy a shifter, you can never drive an S2000. I don't even like the car but my god that trans.
