First Post from a first-time Porsche owner ...

Hello everyone,

It seems like I know most of you already. I was fortunate to find your web site in the Fall of 2005 in search for more Cayman S information. I struck gold (valuable info, numerous sincere advice and support) and got hooked to the site. What a great site!

I read all your threads and wanting more. I am in IT profession and turning data to assets is my specialty. I especially enjoy reading all "first drive" posts, and some of your personal and emotional feelings toward our beloved Cayman.

Like many of you, I had an early interest in Porsche cars and its philosophy of building the best sport cars. I loved Cayman S the very first time I saw it in publications (back in late summer of '05), then in person in Dec. '05. I thought about it all time. It seems like a long time ago.

What a car! What a beauty with those sinful curves.

But the true love came when I test drove the Cayman S. It's a beast, a controllable beast, that devoured all the curves/corners at ease. I can still remember the exhaust's happy notes and how good the brakes were.

I never thought that I could afford a Porsche; however, if I could afford a Porsche then it has to be a Cayman S. I have been working very hard and been very good, I kept saying to myself one day, one great day, your wife (thanks to my wife) will see your passion as hers.

That great day was Friday December 29th, 2006. I found my third love (the first was reserved for my wife and the second was reserved for my son) in a form of Guards Red Cayman S.

My wife and my son asked - Who's the lucky boy?! Now you know where I got my name.

She's in great hands and is adored by us. Will take pictures and report regularly.

Thanks for sharing your stories and it's my privilege to share mine.

Wow congrats!

I am a new owner as well. I just didnt think my wife would let me get one this soon. She told me with all of the money I put into my audi I could have bought a porsche by now. We dont have any kids, figured while we are still young & no children we can enjoy it! The deal we made is no upgrades until its paid off (exept the techart gts wing) I am so excited. All of the maint. on my audi was done by myself, so I am a do it your selfer.
