Default I got a new P-car.....

.... and it's not a 993, but I gotta say I love it, VERY MUCH.

This is Manfred. Robert 'sort of' surprised me with it yesterday. I knew he'd been looking for a 993 for me and it was impossible to find what I wanted and needed in a 993. This 2007 Cayman just sort of fell into our laps here in Little Rock. He took me to see it and drive it yesterday and it was instant love. My year old GTI is now gone and this sits in the garage. I really enjoyed the GTI, but Manfred rocks!

I am the luckiest and most blessed women to have the hubby that I have. I'm blessed and lucky to have you guys rocking on my side too. Without Rob and all of you, all I've have been through in the past year would have been a lot more difficult, I know that in my heart. I am a HAPPY CAMPER. Life is GOOD. No, Life is GREAT.

Free hugs to all today!!!!

Thanks Rudy.... The Boxster hardtop belongs to a friend. When he comes over we always let him park in the garage. Sure looks good with THREE P-cars in there.

It's pretty stock with just a few options. It has the full leather package and sports suspension and something else (I don't have the paperwork in front of me). The tires are new (Goodyear's) so they can stay until I need new ones. Rob is thinking about changing out the wheels, but for me it's not necessary. I like it just the way it sits. It's had two 'real' owners. The 3rd owner was a dealership and they had it for a month. It was originally purchased in Carlsbad, CA (Hoehn) and three years later was purchased by someone in Santa Barbara. The California gal living in R Can Saw gets a California car. Isn't that something? It is in great condition. The interior hardly show any wear at all, just the usual very slight wear on the bolster and on the A/C controls. I think the car was owned by a women at one time. It looks like high heels have been dragged across them instead of being picked up as they should when one owns a P-car. We are ordering new thresholds because that is one thing that really bugs me. PICK UP YOU FEET WOMEN!!! The passenger seat doesn't look like it's even been sat in and all the nooks and cranies are brand new and not a speck of even dust in them. The exterior has the usual Porsche road rash, but not much. I'd say it was pretty pampered. HAPPPPY!!!!

It is a Tip, that will be used as a Tip.
This is my daily driver, except in snow or ice.

Congrats! It looks like it's made you very happy indeed. With all that is going on around us, its good to remind ourselves how fortunate we are to be able to enjoy this wonderful marque as owners and not just onlookers.
