pcar964,
No I do not think it is an expensive car but it's not cheap either(compared to a Mustang). As for "treating myself" what I mean is, I already own a Porsche, a truck, a Jeep, a commuter car, and an old convertible. Do I need another car....no....do I want one....yeah. So if I bought it, it would just be a treat for myself. As for Porsche owners being elitist snobs, most of those guys drive those 911 things

So let me get this straight according to how y'all are bickering back and forth........
Cayman is for chicks
Boxster is for Hairdressers
911 are for elitist snobs
Cayenne is for soccor moms
Remind me again which car is for the enthusiast???
And please don't say GT3 as I own one of those as well. So am I an elitist snob enthusiast that parades as a soccer mom??? And we wonder why there is so much hate in the world. Instead of embracing that passion that most of us feel which drove us to the marque, we sterortype and infight for supremacy as a defense mechanism of our insecurities. Sad.

And therefore you perpetuate the (probably accurate) stereotype that most Porsche owners are elitist snobs.
to be fair, it is an expensive car - as in most people in Europe or the USA cannot afford to comfortably buy one.
its not expensive compared to an L or F-car, but its still the price of a small home in some states!

Man I'm getting here way late on this thread, my first time in the cayman forum. I've got a 993 but often time think about trading to a brand new cayman and a warranty. I haven't driven one yet but I bet it's sweet.
About the women thing. IMO American women are just men with vagina's. Femininity no longer exists in them even though they may look beautiful.

Careful Dell, he only "came around" on the GT3 recently. He used to post about how they didn't measure up, athough he's singing a new tune as of late.
