What to do? I rolled the dice and picked up a flood salvage titled '06 Cayman S. 295hp/6 speed/ac and power steering for $12.5k. Gamble returned best outcome, just needed a couple bosch body modules, a switch or two, and some love. I couldn't get the 911 to 295hp for that. Lucky is good.

Which of the 3 interesting to me cars did I cull after adding the 987.1 in 2018? I'm still trying to decide. Which is my favorite? The one I'm driving. Or just drove. Or anticipating driving next.

Good luck and I'll be watching your thread of course!
Is that one of the bore scoring years? Friend is looking at Caymans, he's ...conflicted LOL
