Default Morning Why You Need a 981

Beautiful Saturday morning in the northeast. Summer around the corner. Mild warm day, getting humid. Perfect for down windows - enough warm air coming in but not too hot. No breeze. Wind-up the car and hear the flat-6 and add the layer of PSE giving a few pops around the local streets.

Perfect day to take out the Cayman 981 GTS 6-speed for a quick journey around the local towns just to drive it. Do some quick errands. Buy morning coffee and squeezed juice for the misses. Was sad when the journey was over and had to bring the car back into the garage.

I thought it was plenty warm yesterday. I was in northeast MA washing and polishing my 987.2 and it was in the 80s!

Happy Motoring!!

Any time you can get out and just drive and enjoy your 981 is a good day,
Only took me 4 years to find my 981
Nothing else has the sound of the flat six
A few months ago I found my 15 GTS PDK
with 31k and CPO
Love hearing the exhaust with the windows down !!!!
