Caynan, not a Boxster..........is that what you meant?
Classic: FEB. 23: Assistant web editor Phil Floraday marvels at how well the car hooks up in bad weather. Meanwhile I’ve grown tired of random people who don’t believe this and feel a need to give me winter driving tips, like the Wendy’s drive-thru worker who advises, “You better be real careful out there, driving that in this weather.” I never knew Wendy’s offered this service.

No, I think he meant that the article was about a Carrera, not a Cayman.

...but I will throw in that the new Porsches (all of 'em) are great in winter, as long as you have good winter tires. Love the comment from the Wendy's person...

I was reading about the Cayman S on Autoweek, did a search and this article was listed/posted. I just clicked on it and read it as a Cayman article not a 911 Carrera S article. My mistake - just had Cayman in my mind and never displaced that thought despite reading the article. Funny how the mind works when there is a lot on it, or little in it.

But if it happens, I'll probably get that car back. That's one I'm sorry I let go. But I'm dumb that way...

Between my 1990 Geo Tracker, and my 1977 911S it seems I'm always having to do something, buy a new tool, purchase parts - learn a new skill. Not just cars - rolling projects.
