I love Safari 911s, but question: has anyone given a Cayman a decent Safari treatment? Could use some inspiration. I just picked up a 981 and plan to keep it stock for many years to come, but at some future point I’m tempted to say, fuck it, Safari the magnificent bastard.

Counterpoint counterpoint: try riding one.

All the sadz.

DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

Regarding #1, I spent a week riding a Scrambler through the Italian Alps (hard life!) pretty much having to clutch in at every hairpin turn because there was simply no way to easily keep a rhythm in no-speed corners in low gear. I’ve got helmet cam of my trip and half the corners the sound cuts low as I clutch in and…

Having ridden both the Desert Sled and the Hypermotard SP, I can say that they’re both equally fun while moving, but while stopped the Desert Sled is much better, simply because I can put my feet down without feeling like I’m going to drop the bike if a passing hummingbird so much as farts. The SP is a brilliant…

This posting is relevant to my interests, seeing as I just purchased a used 2016 Cayman base model with the X73 sport suspension standard (read: even lower to the ground, with no adjustment on the fly). I have to be VERY deliberate about where I go in order not to scrape like mad.

Since this would absolutely KILL my OCD and that of many others, why don’t manufacturers just “Spinal Tap” this shit and call 80%, 100%? This way, you are fully charged, and can simply call that extra 20% “reserve charge”, or something like that?

Add: Can I easily parallel park this in front of a Cricket Wireless store?

Has anyone in this thread sat in one of those chairs? For I have. For hours.

I laughed way harder than I expected to at this!

God, I hate this. Hate it sooo much. WHY IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO GET A MANUAL IN TOP TRIM???

Can’t unsee.

The issue with DC is that all of the roads where this happens feature plenty of surprise “This Lane Ends Here!” signs that unless you’re a local— and many folks here will never be local, just by definition of the transitory business of government— you’ll always find yourself in the wrong lane for whatever it is that…

I just finished up buying a used car, and the number of auto loan calculators and spreadsheets featuring “excursions” to my current home budget would have probably pegged me as a crazy person to most observers. But I had literally every pricing and financing scenario acceptable to me already mapped out before I even…

The right company/ship/destination combo makes all the difference in the world, indeed.

Honestly, I don’t know why they get such a bad rap, that extra jolt of Vitamin D makes all the difference in enjoyment of a smaller car. It’s frankly the only reason I passed on any consideration of the latest model Golf R— no more sunroof, no fun.
