Convinced my wife to get this new Porsche Cayman

dme330i · 09-22-2015, 06:45 PM

After shopping for SUVs for a few weeks, I finally convinced my wife to keep her 5 year old Mazda CX-9 and just get a fun car. Fun car is right . . . this Cayman is a blast to drive! Pic of my M4 included just for reference.

congratulations.

rcl · 09-22-2015, 10:43 PM

Nice! I plan on getting a Cayman S soon.

DocWeatherington · 09-22-2015, 10:47 PM

That is epic.. That counts as a win lol

buddalun · 09-22-2015, 11:10 PM

Oh wow. I praise you for getting the wife to agree. I praise the wife even more for abiding by your insanity. Overall, I deem this a very healthy relationship and a sweet stable! Good work brother!

dme330i · 09-23-2015, 05:37 AM

Thanks. It is a 6-speed too!

That is awesome.

On an entirely different note, how's the F82 convertible? The pair is stunning as the colors are complimentary.

You married well

If only I could convince my fiancee to trade in her A5, but then again, there's that pesky manual trans....

Don't know how you go from looking for a SUV to a complete opposite 2 seater car, but kudos to you for the convincing!

x.shell · 09-23-2015, 11:05 AM

Good work!

Nkc · 09-23-2015, 11:35 AM

Pics of wife with the Cayman or it didn't happen. You didn't marry Sara did you?

Are you adopting? I'm potty trained and don't make too much of a mess.

if it's the base cayman then my guess goes to the m4. the base is fun and looks good but it just feels like there's something missing.

of course i could be wrong. just my opinion.

tjlees · 09-23-2015, 02:46 PM

I tried that and ended up with a mini roadster

Black calipers say non-S.

black = base
Red = S or GTS
yellow = carbon ceramics
acid green = hybrid

Nicely done

But is she allowed to drive it

P1 · 09-23-2015, 06:02 PM

What's the blurry bit on the bottom left in your M4 pic?

I can vouch since dme330i is my boss

I love my F83. Had an e93 M3 before and I think the F83 "feels" smaller and more agile. However, now that I have the Cayman as a reference point, the F83 feels big.

dme330i · 09-23-2015, 07:13 PM

I also have this 66 Pontiac GTO that has a freshly rebuilt motor and restored inside and out. My wife's father bought it brand new when he was 17, so it's always been in the family. She's definitely a keeper.

The Camaro in the background is my son's car.
