First Porsche / First Post



I primarily wanted to thank K-Man S for such a great site, and all the active contributorsfor such an incredible resource.I'vespent so much time on this site, CaymanClub.net should get the sales commission from my Cayman S purchase!


For anyone interested in the standard newbie post...


My 2006 Cayman S:


-Basalt Black, Black Standard interior, Climate Control, Bi-Xenons. I would love to have added more options, but I was stretching my budget already. I was very close to pulling the trigger on an S4 until I saw the Cayman at the Chicago Auto Show. After the test drive, I never went back to the Audi dealer!


- Ordered March 21st, took delivery June 25 from Sonnen Porsche in Mill Valley, CA. Since I ordered such a low-optioned car, price negotiations were tough. Ended up with about 2% off MSRP, plus 1 day Jim Mitchell Performance Driving School at Infineon and a 2000 mile oil change.


- 1950 miles as of today. Finally ready to let the six roar! I plan to get the oil changed, schedule the driving school, then try out autocross and regionaltrack days. I grew up with all sorts of toys (motorcycles, dirt bikes, ATVs, snowmobiles, dune buggies), but I've never been on an actual race track. I'm lookingforward tothe CS being my hobby track car, as well as my daily driver.





Me:


- 36 years old, I work in IT consulting. Wife, no kids. Wife hasn't driven it yet, but she is certainly allowed and more than capable. She is resisting my 20 minute mandatory 'orientation' and will probably soon just take it out when I'm not looking. [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/wink_smile.gif[/img]


- live in Sonoma, California. There are tons of great twisty roads around here, and the CS is the perfectcar forthewife andI to do a little wine tasting on a lazy Sunday afternoon...


- joined PCA, and I guess I'll be part of the Redwood region. I'm not really sure what to expect, but planning to attend the Porsche Concours at Ledson Winery in October. Maybe we'll meet some other club members there.


Pics:














Thanks again everyone for such a great site!

Congrats and welcome to the site! Please do tell Sonnen to send me a commission check! Actually if you have a good relationship with them feel free to ask them if they'd be interested in advertising/sponsoring here and if so I'm happy to talk with them about it. Great pics and welcome to PCA as well!

Well if you are in Sonoma, better take the Cayman S out to Stewart Point Road. It is one of the finest road in the area IMHO.


Congratulations for a great car.

Twisty, great car and welcome to the club! I don't have mine yet, late Dec. early January but I can't wait. I love the area your in, the wife and I come out from Ohio to wine country every so often, thinking about it now the week between Xmas and New Year's. I can't think of anything better then driving my new Cayman S in wine country hitting the various winery's and having a fantastic lunch or dinner at a great restaurant, can life get better than this!

Beautiful car and backgrounds!

If your local PCA club is as active and friendly as ours turned out to be, you will certainly meet some nice folks and then meet them again at subsequent events.
We just attended the BBQ and have done some early morning breakfast runs.
Missed a few track days due to on-call scheduling.
Went to the winter Banquet even before we got the car and were made to feel very welcome.
Enjoy!

Welcome brother. I love your color choice.

I hope I am not too personal with you but when/if the kids come PLEASE do not let the CS go. Keep her as a weekend toy. I made this mistake with my first porsche years ago. Get the 2 year old minivan or small SUV. Sorry for trying to plan your future!
