Absolutely riveted to hear his opinions on Cayman ownership and race relations……

The CLK GTR will never be collectible. Unless an example sells for $20M. Then it’s collectible.

And the CLK63 hasn’t done too badly for itself either; “headlights” notwithstanding https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...ack-series-49/

A typical Mainer.
One of my favorite hot sauces is from Maine.

That’s a really nice 996!
It’s my twin (2/98 Arctic Silver with 014 and 408) but with Boxster red interior and an Aero kit.

What are you replacing it with?

There’s something about an Arctic early 1999. The amber headlights are actually configured differently than the later clear, with a silver round template around the lights that blends with the Arctic paint perfectly.

Makes for the most beautiful MKI IMO. I had one long ago and regret selling it all over again seeing pictures of these rare beauties

I may give you a hard time, but I appreciate your dedication to the cause.

I told my wife a pool, but I'm not-so-secretly on the hunt for a 996 or 997 GT3.

Reach for the stars, I say. With the miles, condition, and options, it's in line or just a bit higher than some of the BaT sales this year when one factors in the auction fees. And there's time to inspect the car and feel better about the purchase in the long run.
