Hi there,
It is tucked under its cover and stored for the Canadian winter. I have an order for a Cayman S with a dealer but I am waiting until February to submit it as I am looking at a July European delivery. I will re-list the 993 in April when it is out of storage but looking for a fair price as the CS purchase is not contingent on the 993 sale. Although I will to find garage space door when it is out of storage if that makes any sense at all.

I test drove a 2012 CR and a 2013 Cayman S yesterday. Both very impressive machines. I thought the CR was a little "purer" in how it drove, in my personal perspective, but no such thing as a "bad decision" between the two. I view myself as having more traditional "analogue" preferences, and would probably opt for the CR for that reason, but I could see others favoring the 981. I also have a 96 993 C2, and the CR would make for a nice compliment - two different examples in the history of Porsche.

I am thinking GT Silver over red with black Carrera S wheels (although they aren't currently in the configurator.
Listed half heartedly for a while last Fall but because thew new Cayman had not been debuted, I did not make much effort.
The 993 will be hard to part with. It has become part of the family but I am sheepish about owning 4 vehicles in a two driver family.

I'm not ready to pull trigger yet, but have been playing w/ the configurator a lot

having gone from a 993 to a 991 to a 981, I think you will find the car very different, particularly if you get the PDK. It (991 or 981) is a much more docile car than the 993, even though it is faster. The problem with the 993 now is the SAI issue and their attraction for thieves.
