Standard Porsche Cayman vs. BMW 3 Series M

Posted 01-21-2008 at 07:28 PM by BurnRubberApparel
Dear Cayman Drivers:

Over a poker game one night, an acquaintance started commenting on how his BMW 3 Series M is a much faster and better performing vehicle than the Porsche Cayman. I have a manual shift 5 Speed standard Cayman and from experience I know my car is pretty mean machine on the road. I've even driven it at 160 MPH and it feels like a jet plane.

Ok so I've had a few people here ask me if I am through modifying my Cayman. I hadn't really thought about it, or thought if there was ever actually an "end" to modifying something but the truth is that there probably isn't a lot more I would do to the car. So with that in mind, let's make up a list of items that are candidates for 2008 changes:

Software Updates

Posted 01-17-2008 at 09:20 AM by K-Man S
Just wanted to let everyone know that I was staying up late doing some software updates.

Our classifieds have been updated to ver 2.6.1
Our Gallery has been updated to ver 2.4.2
Our CMPS has been updated to 3.0 RC2

Everything went well with one minor exception, the random photo module on the home page is not showing in a vertical fashion anymore so for the time being I will move it to the center column and show it horizontally until there is a fix.
