Just for giggles, I test drove a Cayman S this weekend.

It's a better car than the Z, from a driving perspective, but not better enough for me to want to trade. It was an '07, which is roughly equal in price to what I bought new in '10. The car is fast, sexy, obviously more prestigious. If I had to choose between the two at initial purchase, I may have gone either way. The Cayman is certainly less comfortable. But as it is, there's no way to justify trading.

I have had zero issues with my Z, Shamu. Sorry bout your luck. I never said that I was incapable of removing the ECU, just that it's pretty stupid to have to do that in order to change an air filter.

And yeah, while Porsches may be wonderful, the price of maintenance is wacky. How dare I speak out against Stuttgart? I didn't say I hated them, only that maintaining them seems comically over-complicated and expensive. Let me know, Porsche fans, when you can accept that as a basic principle without resorting to insult. I don't expect you to agree with it, but I know I'm not alone in this opinion.
