Nice...I like cars with minimal options. Especially with that discount, makes me wonder why anybody would consider a Cayman S (at its MSRP).

Quick question for you optics experts out there. Notice in the first picture the dots/pattern in the rear windshield. I seem to notice this on some cars and only when I wear my polarized sunglasses (maybe lazlo9 took this picture with a polarizing filter on his lens).
Does anyone know what causes this pattern?

I am not a physicist, but this is my understanding. The rear windshield, and side windows are tempered glass, and by using a polarizing filter, you are able to the the 'pre-designed' stress lines created by the heating and cooling process. This results in the glass shattering in the tiny pieces outward rather than inward upon impact because the outside of the glass is cooled faster than the inside. The refractivity of light between the outer side and inner side is diferent because of the tempering process, you get birefringence which is detected with the polarizing lens. The front windshield is not tempered. (Trying to remember college Optic and waves physics).
