Default My New to Me 2006 Cayman S

After a 2 year wait I finally accomplished my goal of not only getting my first sportscar, but to also buy my first Porsche. It's a 6-speed 06 with just 38k miles,Artic Silver exterior with tan leather interior. The car is pretty bare in terms of options, it just got bi Xenons and Turbo 19" wheels and as far as mods, just a Borla XR1 which sounds EPIC! I've had the car since yesterday and so far so good, the only feature I believe Im missing is PASM as the roads here in Puerto Rico are utter garbage.

A little over 24 hours of ownership and Im already planning some mods ,mainly minor cosmetic changes, as I just love the way these 987 Cayman look and dont want to change the looks too much.

Here are some pics:

Congratulations on the amazing car! I've had an 07 Cayman S 6 speed and think that it's one of the greatest sports cars as far as bringing enjoyment to the driver.

I only bumped the saturation a bit and applied some vignetting.There is some haze probably due to the lens or sensor of the camera fogging up from the change in temps from inside the car with the AC on to the infernal heat of the caribbean sunshine outside.

Very nice car, I like the color, but I'm also thinking about a wrap, how would that hold out in Puerto Rico?
Here's a pic of mine in Woudrichem.
