Raced against a Cayman S today...and won

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Raced a beautiful Woman who was driving a very dirty but brand new blue Cayman S today in the Staybright tunnel. [/quote]



The Cayman S started in front of me in the tunnel ticket booth lane. Stayed right on her tail till she had a little extra boost from some little roller thing. I was like WTF she's cheating. Then the ticket booth attendant told me to put my car in neutral. So I figured this tunnel must be going down hill most of the way. Or the attendant must have known something about the road conditions, and wanted us to coast for a while. The Cayman S pulled a little at first, then all of a sudden that little roller thing popped out of the ground and hooked me right up with some extra power. Before I knew it, I was right on her tail again. [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/teeth_smile.gif[/img]



The car was coasting real good. It felt like I could pass the Cayman S at any moment. Tried to find a passing lane, but the tunnel was leaking real bad. Water was coming down pretty hard and all I could see was some funny looking spinning blue trees on both sides of the road. This tunnel must be very narrow because I could swear the trees were hitting the sides of my Car.



Then a few blue tumbleweeds crossed in front of my Car. It felt like one of them brushed up against the front of my car and slowed me down a little. Then another one hit the rear of my car and gave me a push to help catch up with the Cayman S. That was pretty cool, [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/shades_smile.gif[/img] --- I needed that extra boost because for some strange reasons, tires were having a hard time hooking up. The road was very slippery, as if a tanker truck ahead of us was leaking soap all over the place. Suds and bubbles were every where, so again I am thinking WTF [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/whatchutalkingabout_smile.gif[/img]



Then all of a sudden the leaking stop and I could see the Sun light up ahead. Figured my chance to pass was coming up real quick. But at the end of the tunnel this huge wind storm popped up and was blowing my car all over the place. The lady in the Cayman S must have seen my problem and took advantage of the high winds that were blowing me around. Before I even had a chance to get out of the wind storm the Cayman S must have caught another gear and left me in the dust.



However once I was out of the tunnel I blew right past that Cayman S while I was hitting 2nd gear. It appears that the Cayman S driver must have gotten a flat tire because it was sitting next to this huge air machine. You could see the driver inserting a quarter into the very tall air pump. Her tires must have been very bald to get a flat so easy, or it could have been that little roller thingy [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/omg_smile.gif[/img]



She was pretty cool about her loss, and waved at me as I passed her with a huge smile on my face. [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/thumbsup.gif[/img][/quote]

Why would anyone put their CS in an automatic car wash?

Forgive me, but the initial poster seems to live in a fantasy world..... or were they referring to playing the XBox Game. Either that or they were high as a kite. In the end they passed a stationary car..... Big deal!


I note that not many 'members' seem to have their Caymans registered (It is not that difficult, I am a Computerphobe and even I managed to get my Photo with my listing) perhaps it is time to filter out the fantasists and wannabees......? Perhaps Kayman Scan block these unnecessary postings?


The technical stuff is great, keep it up - but keep the nonsense out..... Please....

I think the post was lifted from elsewhere as mpollard found and meant as a joke... if it isn't of interest then ignore it would be my best suggestion, too much goes on here for me even to consider reading everything and actually trying to weed stuff out.

Racing on public roads is unacceptable. Consider the innocent bystanders who could be victims of your folly. Did you get the Rainbow wax?
