This will be my attempt to keep a blog on my experiences with my first ever Porsche - a Cayman S. I've dreamed of owning a Porsche, like many of you I am sure, for many years and now is my chance!

I hope to start off with a blog on my delivery experience, describing picking up my car (after a 4 month wait) in New Jersey and bringing it home to North Carolina.

After that, we'll see where the road leads me!

Croctoberfest 2008

I'd like to start by offering a "Job Extremely Well Done!" to Ken, and congratulate him on putting together an excellent event. I don't think we can underestimate the amount of time and effort Ken and Angela put into this event, or thank them enough!

I wish I have more time to write more about my experiences, but that simply has not been the case. I'd complain about being so busy, but after what the Smiley family has been through that just wouldn't be right...

3 days at VIR

Posted 09-09-2008 at 01:36 PM by Speedymike
Well, I'm back from my first time at the track with the CS and I've got to say I'm one happy guy! The car was absolutely amazing and the best thing of all was I didn't bend anything up.

This was a 3 day event at VIR, and we got a lot of track time despite Tropical Storm Hanna blowing through the area Friday night and into Saturday. Even though about 6 inches of rain fell in 12 hours, the VIR folks got the track cleaned and dry and we were back to running by 1:00 pm on Saturday....

No love for the Cayman today.

I stopped by our local grocery store (a Food Lion) this afternoon to pick up a few items and upon returning to the car found what appeared to be an entire cup of coffee poured across the hatch.

The stream started just below the glass on the right side and went down and to the left to the spoiler. From there it appears the person poured the remaining coffee along the spoiler, as the entire lenght of the wing was full of coffee.

It certainly could have been a lot...

First DE is coming up!

I've recently been accepted into what will be my first DE with my CS and I'm pysched!

It will be at VIR on September 5th - 7th with the Potomac Region Founders Club. I've been to schools at VIR twice in the past with my A4, but it's been several years since my last time.

It's hard to believe I have owned my CS almost 7 months now, and I'm sorry it's taken me this long to get to a DE, but life intervenes sometimes, and I'm sure this is going to be a blast. ...

Porsche Parade

Posted 07-02-2008 at 10:30 PM by Speedymike

Well, I'm back from Parade and I've got to say it was fantastic! It was even more fun than I thought it would be. The thing is, from a blogging perspective, the weekend was busier than I anticipated - and so was my return to work - so I didn't get to post running updates on our time at the Parade. Sorry about that...

I am also a bit sorry we could only attend for the weekend, but I've got to say meeting a number of CC folks including our very own K-Man S (and lots of other...
