Once You Go Black, You Never Go Back

porsche cayman s black edition

I laid awake in bed last night thinking about this car. Guess the saying actually is true that once you go black, you never go back. I’m not sure why I’m in love with the blacked out editions Porsche has been producing, but they have moved to the top of my favorite colors list. For [...]

2012 Porsche Cayman R Debut

2012 Porsche Cayman R

Last Wednesday, at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Porsche announced a new Cayman model we’ll see early next year as a 2012 model. I was never much of a fan of the Cayman until I flew down to California earlier this year with a buddy and helped him drive a Cayman Design Edition back (Porsche [...]

Porsche Cayman Promo Video

According to one site, this promo video was shot in Vancouver. Looks like it to me, but I can’t be 100% sure. Great footage of Caymans through a variety of city and country settings. Gorgeous views. As a side note, we visited Vancouver for the first time (for any extended period of time) last summer. [...]

Porsche Cayman ROAD TRIP!!!

Just got back last night (we pulled in to my driveway at 11:45pm) from a blitz road trip from San Diego, California in a Porsche Cayman. Was a blast and confirmed why I love road trips. I’ll try and give the abbreviated version of the story. I was in my buddy’s restaurant last Thursday for [...]

Cayman S Video

This video is a little older, but is some pretty good footage of a Cayman S driven on one of the UK’s most dangerous roads. I love the post editing of this video.

One of a Kind Porsche for D.C.

Picture from WashingtonExaminer.com

I came across a story a few weeks ago about a guy named Eduardo Bodmer who had always wanted a Porsche. The title of the story is what caught me: “Check Out My Ride: Bringing a first-of-its-kind Porsche to D.C. meant doing things differently”. Of course it grabbed me! Bodmer was looking for a Porsche, [...]

Porsche Cayman S Spotting

I know this isn’t a crazy rare car or anything, but this pulled up across the street from my house yesterday afternoon. I grabbed my camera and shot a few stealthy photos of it (really, I was just trying not to look like an idiot spying on his neighbors). I ended up going out and [...]

Cayman…Cayman…Cayman. Oh, and some Boxster afterthoughts

I read a couple of interesting articles today, both pimping the Cayman. This despite the second one being ABOUT the Boxster. Both are worth reading even if they are biased towards the Cayman. Even though I’m not a huge Boxster guy, I still think the car deserves a fair shake in it’s own right and, [...]

Could the Cayman Oust the 911?

I came across an interesting article today on The Independent in their Motoring section. Before I get into that though, why is it that the UK seems to have more motor enthusiasts, publications and general information per square inch of land than anyone else in the world? Guess bigger (as in the the size of [...]

A Couple of Big Awards for Porsche

In the last couple of weeks, Porsche has won two of the industry’s most coveted awards for several of its cars. The first is the Automobile Magazine All-Star award. Every year Automobile Magazine’s staff get together to drive and compare ten different categories worth of cars. The 2009 911 is just the latest Porsche to [...]
