Oh believe me, the cayman is absolutely in the picture. I drove a 981 GTS and it was fantastic fun. That motor screams. It's so characterful.

That particular model is out of my range. I'd have to go used S for mid 50's, or go for an older one.

At that point though I think about the '07 997s because the price point is so good. I know they made a ton of them, but technically it's the last hydraulic steering 911 with small proportions. The new ones, while hot, are more like GT cars. I'm thinking if I get in on a 997 at 47k with about 20k miles I won't lose much value on the car over the course of ownership.

The thought of extremely expensive repair bills is frightening, but most say Porsche is bullet proof.
