That's like saying people who buy Ferraris for image are buying a hopped up FIAT... Keep up with the humor, I'm enjoying it

You saying there is something wrong with owning a 944? I don't regret that decision one bit. It's fast, and I know many 944 Turbos that would completely own that 911 of yours.
Or, do you find it embarrassing that someone half your age, probably more (23 years old) makes as much money as you do now and has a better grasp of how to enjoy life while living sensibly? I mean, cmon, if you are buying a porsche because of resale value, aren't you really just saying "Look at my insecurities!! I have this really expensive car that people drool over, but because I am unsure of my ability to make a halfway sensible economic decision that might better me and my family, I bought this specific model so that I am safe from having to face the fact later that I am completely inadequate as a husband and a father." is that it?
Anyway, the whole point of the insult was because of your unfounded opinion that the Cayman is really not that much of a car. Its only one of the most highly reviewed cars. Every magazine that has tested it has said it one of the best cars to come out of Germany in a long time.
I think you are the ONLY one that has something bad to say about that car...
So yeah...**** you and your elitist opinion!!

Check your facts... The trade in rate on a Cayman is the highest for PCNA... I wonder why that is? Could it be that most are being traded in on Carreras? That after the hipe of the initial purchase it's a pretty bland car? Well, if you check the facts, that's exactly what's happening... If it's got such a great reputation, then why can't the dealers sell them? Maybe you are right and the rest of the world is wrong...
As far as your kids comment is concerned... I've raised 5 to adults and thank God they're all healthy... But most of all, I thank God that none are like you...
You aweful defensive about that 944... Since you like the Cayman so much (and I can respect that), why don't you trade your 944 Turbo (not hand-made but built on the Audi assembly line) in and get $2-3k toward a new Cayman...
Now, you didn't ask my opinion about the 944... Frankly, I like them... We're looking for one right now for my 20 year old son to use as an autocross car... But, it too is not a Carrera by any stretch of the imagination...

sorry for asking a dumb question but aside from its limited numbers why exactly is this car so coveted?
Aesthetically it doesn't seem like anything I haven't seen many times before and I don't recall this car being lauded as a performer like the CaymanS.
p.s.
If CaymanS ever does become "a $20K" I might buy one in each color. That kind of mid engine performance and bizzare reliability (37K miles on my BoxsterS withone $350 repair to date ) for the price of a new Honda is a day I am EAGERLY expecting...in other words don't count on it, the spec racer's will spoil the fun for everybody!!

Don't know who I'm talking to? It seems pretty obvious. Someone who looks at Porsche as merely a name so he can show off. No one here cares that you have "#194 of 250". That doesn't make you special, and have a car that as nothing special about it aside from some trim pieces that make it look more like a turbo WITHOUT having the turbo, does not make it any better than any car Porsche has ever made.
The point is this, if you want to act like an elitist *******, which is apparently what you enjoy doing, take it elsewhere chum. We here on Rennlist like to take care of each other and back each other up. We all have the same name on the front of our cars, and they all share a rich heritage. There was no point in you coming in here and degrading a car like it is a fact that the car sucks. Because it isn't a fact. It seems just about everyone here loves this car, and you coming in and bashing it was nothing more than a troll post to try and **** people off.
Simply put, if you don't like the car, don't say anything bad about it. You the age old adage "nothing nice to say"....I hope you taught your kids better than that, hopefully they act more mature than you do.

You sound pretty immature to me... Must be nice to curse at someone and hide behind a vail of annonimity... But that the way most cowards act... If that's you in the picture with your stupid tongue sticking out, I hit the immaturity nail on the head!!! You look like a loser to me...

My friend, many people here on Rennlist have met me in person and will be the first to say that not only am I not immature, I am not cowering behind a veil of anything. Yes, that is me in the picture, and forgive me if I like to have a little fun and take a funny picture every once in awhile. Is that wrong? No...
What is wrong however is coming into a place that is genuinely filled with caring, compassionate people, and degrade users for their choice in what vehicle they drive. Am I knocking you? Yes, I have insulted you quite a few times...maybe you need to get the picture that you have pissed off some people by INSULTING THEM! You don't seem to get it, do you? This whole thing goes back to the fact that you insulted PEOPLE based on the vehicle that they purchased. I myself have no problem whatsoever with your 911. I think it is a beautiful piece of machinery. However, you throw insults, I'll throw them right back.
And loser? Again, face the facts. I'm 23 years old, I make more than most people in their 40's. I work hard for what I have, and I enjoy life. I don't drink, do drugs, party, act immature in any way whatsoever (aside from the occasional poop joke....who doesn't like those??)
And, as immature as this will sound, and to continue the "bigger dick" argument we have going here, I would be more than happy to drive to Maryland and continue the conversation in person. And I guarantee you that I will not whimsically let go of anything I said beforehand. My stance is the same in person or online.

As a similar example, I've never understood why the RS America is held in such high regard, but again it's a matter of rarity. The RSA is basically a 964 with the sport suspension, a few extra HP (less than 10), manual steering, and a few less pounds. Nice car, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't explain the large difference in value between the regular 964's and RSA's unless you take rarity into account.

I suggest some therapy... I think you really need it...
Enough said on this topic... I hate bantering with a MENTAL MIDGET!!!

And I wasn't bragging, merely trying to enlighten you on who I am. You call me immature and a loser. I am anything but.
Basically, stop with the "I'm better than you" attitude, and no one here would have any problems with you. Or, so I can fulfill your opinion of me, don't be such a dick and shut the **** up.
