I try and drive my Cayman R as often as possible. But I make it a point about 2 or 3 times a week to go for hour long drives.. Today I drove for three hours and put on 100 miles.. Found some country roads, rolled the windows down, drank a red bull and just enjoyed the car.. What an awesome car.. Porsche is just one of those feelings that needs to be experienced first hand. Much respect to all Porsche enthusists..

 

...and only we know this

 

I love it! It is great to hear people enjoying these cars. They are special.

 

good tip! the same with my old merc, any coin down there is gone and there's hardly room for a finger.

 

Nice thread - was thinking the same thing on my way to work at 6:00am and the roads were empty. I love rev matching and just nailing shifts. It really is built with no compromise - I would love to always have one in my garage

 

it is always nice to read others who appreciate and enjoy their Porches without complaining about little issues.

 

uhn- Where abouts are you in Toronto? I lived in Oakville (near downtown) on Lakeshore until about a year ago.

I miss cruising the QEW and hitting all of the local summer car shows.

 

Gator thanks for the input.. I laugh, but I know it's not funny...I hate spare change! Thank god for the useless tip jars at Starbucks and every other tip jar at every cash register nowadays.. They are actually doing us Porsche drivers a favor if you think about it.

 

I think you nailed it with that comment I have owned lots of sports cars and I have never had the same feeling in any of them as I do the Porsche ..simply Perfection IMO

 

The cool thing about driving a Porsche is that sometimes you just go for a drive,

Good write up, thanks.

 

Pictures of the Cayman R?

 

I like to enjoy a nice breeze and a carefree moment on my porches too. I also love driving my Porsche.

 

I just drove 560 miles from South Carolina to DC this past Saturday, 8 hours, bad traffic, drizzly weather, etc. After being home for about 45 minutes I realized we needed coffee for the morning. Got back in the car and got all excited to be back behind the wheel even if only for 5 minute round trip to the store. My *** was sore, I was exhausted, but this car has such a hold on me. I LOVE IT!

 

These cars are awesome! On track, off track!
I just did Daytona this weekend, and sadly, my car will never be the same to me after this on my local roads... Sooo... Chin MotorSports here I come and Hooked on Driving clubs? Any other on the east coast?
162/165 mph at Daytona! Sebring here I come!
No matter what, It's an awesome car, my local drives are just that... " thoughts of bank turns at 130mph with no cops and mulling Z06's is what gets me excited nowadays"
So it is what it is....
After Daytona , again much repesct for racing, but the gt 3 rs guys, gt 3 , cayman racers , and the serious pro racers, much respect !
I am humble....
For my first weekend sport chrono clocked me at me 2:14. Avg 2:16/2:20
