The responses to the article are interesting. Not as many peoiple take you to task for owning a Porsche as I thought. And the ones that do seem to forget you had a 996 to trade in on it, so it likely didn't run you much more than a decent family car.

I knew they were going to be 'busting my *****', but I thought my friends could have a laugh at my expense...

Simple answer: we can't stop dancing.


OK - back on topic for the Porsche Cayman forum: Funny, the article didn't even mention the great gas mileage a gently driven Cayman gets. I'm still watching the depreciation slide, as the effciency makes it a bit easier to rationalize purchasing such a pure sports car.
