This is not an informative thread. It’s a shout-out to Cayenne drivers, and the kinship I believe we share.

Stopped at Home Depot yesterday with the family to pick up a few things. Parked in the ***-end of nowhere as usual. Came out to find a previous-gen modded Cayenne Turbo driver next to me — not an accident.

Understand, this Home Depot is in an area where Porsches are nearly unheard-of, rather than just unicorns like CTTs. Loved coming out and seeing this. Wanted to leave a note but girls were hungry and anxious for dinner.

Cheers to the Porsche community. You guys make owning this special marque all the more special.

Yours looks meaner! The other CTT appears to be scooting towards the other side of the parking spot.

Ha! Looking at the photo, I think I did a pretty ****ty job of parking myself. But thanks for the kind words.

His (or hers) was a kind of beaten-down -- lots of door dents and scratches. The the owner had enough pride to know what he or she was driving / modding, however. Driving a car that's not a damn pristine garage queen like ours definitely has its advantages -- no swirl-mark OCD or unnatural fear of shopping carts!

Your CTT is spotless!!! Kudos to you!

I think I see some swirl marks. lol

I get the dirt off once a week with a scouring pad and Soft Soap. Is that bad?

interesting body molding kit that half covers the tail lights...

I'm just feeding your OCD for fun.

And I'm just effing with your smart-*** posts for my own entertainment. Takes one to know one and all that.

But seriously: Try the scouring pad when your new Turbo shows up. Throw in some AJAX for good measure. You'll have an original, aggressive, satin-finish paint in no time.

Given Porsche's thin paint, I think I would likely end up with a stainless steel looking Cayenne. If it stays at sea any longer, I will not likely have to worry about the paint, there won't be any left.
