I did a bad thing

I traded in my 1980 911 SC Targa to Boardwalk Porsce in Plano Texas for a 2008 Cayman S.
They gave me fair money on trade which took me by surprise .

You went from a nice car to another nice car!
In the end you must be happy with what you drive!

There is no wonder why they were offering you fair trade.

Cars like that are a draw on the lot.

Enjoy the Cayman...

I wish you had sold me those SC sport seats before you traded though!

That Cayman is beautiful! Congrats on the new purchase.

20 years from now that can be your one owner, all records maintained, spotless concours car.

Enjoy a car you can just drive.

Caymens are a exciting car. Lighter, faster, lower than the Carrera. But, no longer need all the tools you have. I checked one out with the optional glass engine cover, looks nice.

The Cayman looks great.

So when is the online garage sale as you clear out the spare bits and pieces from the SC? We all have them scattered about.

I've driven the Cayman S.

It drives kinda like my hot-rodded long-hood, but with interior upholstery, HVAC, a nice sound system, and (Gasp!) Cup holders.

I've considered doing the same. The '73 is a bit too high-strung for daily driving. The Cayman is about as fast, but with every creature comfort a guy could want.

You won't be sorry.

The Cayman S is a sweetie. One of our local guys has one with a very nice aftermarket exhaust. That car sounds FANTASTIC!
