On top of that, I stole like 4 of his girlfriends even though he is like 5 times in better shape then I am. What can I say, I have a way with the girls. I mean whatever. He doesn't have the Polack charm like I do.
Weren't you about a foot taller than me in 3rd grade? The girls only liked you because your dad had a new 930 parked in the garage.

Hey Gator

You know those contrails you see way high up in the sky... do you know what causes them?

Default Here's a few

One thing is for certain, I think that Porsche needed a quick method to rapidly distinguish the the cayman from the boxster - hence the cheap add-on look of the fogs.

Either way...heres a few 4 the road

Ah, yes, that is the picture of the blacked out fog "bar" that I was referring to. Seems like a really simple way of muting the effect of the bar. I think I'll do it!

Probably. I don't remember, that was like 16 years ago dude.

Look guys, pcar964 is a good guy. He even will let me drive his car on the track and offered to let me do a DE this summer since my 951 pile of *** will be taken apart. His inter-forum relations are a little suspect though. LOL.

Bro.

No worries. I invented and patented the submarine screen door. It is all good.

Gator

those aren't really contrails... They're the work of Polish Crop-dusters.

Gator, He only likes you because you drive a 17 year old Porsche. Buy a new one and he'll rip on you and it just like he does to us.

I agree with Mooty though as he provides some balance. I just question the way that he says it sometimes as he comes across very harsh. He clearly does not like the new Porsches, but what I find very interesting is why he spends his time on the forums for them. My best guess is his true love of Porsche. Isn't that why we're all here?

putting GT3 bumper on it like farnbacher loles is nice.
however, i wonder if cayman and gT3 lights are interchangeable or do the fenders need to be swapped too.
The fenders need to be replaced and they do not match up so need to me modified. Not a simple modification but the added down force on the front should be great if you can add some to the rear. They have been working with a larger rear wing. I have not heard how it is all working.

I don't like the GT3 front on a Cayman; makes the car look like a 911.

I'm just going to paint the bar and ring around the fog light black.

One of the reasons I love the Cayman is because of the front. Looks different and meaner coming down the road than most other Porsches. Who cares whether the fogs look similar to some others,
the whole look is fantastic in person.

I like the painting of the bar and ring black on a light colored car......looks nice.

Yes, more aggresive looking than any Boxster or 997 at this point IMO.

Now this is a bit too far - are you saying my 914/6 is not matcho?

there is no other Porsche that will give you the same well developed right arm from fighting the damn thing into first gear, the same left leg muscles from pumping the iron clutch, the same shoulders from the steering at parking speeds. and the iron constitution from living in the noisy, leaky, windy cabin.

(.....except maybe the 1989 Targa I had)

So the K-Man has a few pimples on the chin - it's normal for someone at that stage of devleopment !!

After battling with a Cayman in the rain at Mid-Ohio this weekend I can tell you that is one hell of a car. I don't care what kind of fog lights it has. My girlfriend refuses to let me near her new Cayman. She knows if she turns her back I'll start bolting on race parts.
