VW finally recognizes what Jalops have yelled for eons: we like manuals but we *also* like top-of-the-line comfort and amenities, so please don’t make us choose between the two.

“The 51-year-old truck driver was ticketed for failing to properly secure his load.”

Indeed, a great point. I still want something fun, but I don’t want to have to touch an acre of cheap-o plastic in enjoying it.

All of those Proteges aged very well, IMHO. And not just because I very happily owned a 2002 for a decade (mine not pictured).

Doubt it’s a problem.  This is a 30-year-old drivable car— rust would have gotten it DECADES ago had it not been taken care of.

I would’ve bought a Crosstrek with a WRX mill in a New York minute.

Noooooope. Trust me, when optioning out a Porsche, be *very* careful about what you decline to choose. Everybody warns about how pricey Porsche options get, but remember that since literally everything is a separate option, it’s very easy to find yourself stuck in a car with: a radio that Bluetooth connects to a phone…

Team Frunk here. It’s just so fun to say, it makes you smile!

The generous usable space for a two-seater was a factor in favor of my buying a (used) Cayman over a (new) Miata: you can daily the Porsche while making far fewer compromises.

Kaliningrad’s S-400 emplacements say hello.

Encephalitic trucks.

Gus drools in recognition...

Something-something, Quatermass and the Pit.

Silverstone has the same issue as COTA, shifting substrates due to bad drainage.

Actually... I’m surprised at how NOT tacky this is.  I mean, when you hear “Persian Gulf royal family airplane,” you expect something REALLY gaudy.  This is quite tasteful in comparison to the majority of royal planes / yachts / mansions that I’ve seen in my day.

This is awesome, but I want an aftermarket Safari Cayman conversion, please.

What MWG said. I only wish my Cayman engine cover came in leather, rather than the same raggedy carpet I put my shoes on.

Came here looking for this, leaving happy.

I drive the 981 Base. It’s nothing like a 911. Hell, it’s nothing at all like a Cayman GTS. But it’s still a Porsche.
