I thought the Cayman was a hardtop Boxster? Not correct? There is one is my area with a guy more middle aged than me trying to race my litte red Z. Right...

Yes, basically - and the Boxter is an amazing platform - but the NEW boxter is even better and it finally has the looks that no longer keep it in the "lady's car" category. The Cayman is more rigid and looks better than the Boxter though, but the new one should look really good as the roofline has been extended backward to be more of a fastback. Google 2013 cayman and you'll see spyshots.

Thank you for Bretts name. I will make sure to drive far away from Seminary drive.

Camino Alto for those who do not live here, is the Old Highway, and one hell of a fun place to drive. One turn after another. I once lived at one end and drove it every day for a year. A great road to sell a Porsche on. The Police know this too.

The other reason it's a great demo road is that the surface is pretty shitty in some turns, so it really goes to show how well the car is planted even when the surface is less then ideal.
