I bought my Carrera at the beginning of internet boom, before 3G phones and Facebook. I found it almost 500 miles away on Yahoo. I got the idea from the Yahoo commercial in which a guy living in an igloo in Alaska found a wife through Yahoo, haha.
The Cayman was found through a friend who was selling an estate for a lady, who's brother killed himself. It was an odd circumstance to be sure, but it was good because she didn't know anything about the car and lived half a planet away. She had zero takers, and had lowered the price three times. I literally had to buy it because it'd have been stupid not to. Turns out I like the car now.
