thank g-d your family is ok but the camyan looks better now than before it was crashed

really not a fan

either get a boxter, or front for the extra cash and get a 911. or even a used 911

the cayman to me is a useless car that does not offer anything more than a 911, or even a boxter s

Cars are replaceable, people are not.

Looks like Porsche did their job.

Glad to hear everyone was ok. But these sorts of inconsistencies in your posts is why you should remove them.

I was on that run and came upon the scene a few minutes after the accident. It was a very upsetting and sobering experience. Thank god your father and cousin are OK.

In light of what happened your comments are insensitive and totally innapropriate.

umm...thanks for your opinion

aparently you havent taken the cayman S around the track to notice there is not much difference between the 911 and the Cayman S

but really thanks for your .02

I remember I totaled my bike because a deer ran out in front of me. After getting out of the hospital with a broken right elbow, wrist, thumb, and pinky & my left wrist and thumb. I got a nice reckless driving ticket in the mail.

I've heard that you are better off hitting the deer in that situation. It's easier to prove to the insurance company that there really was a deer in the road when you have it splattered on the front of your car. Otherwise, it would look like another case of reckless driving. Its really sad, but something to think about.

Obviously you've never talked to anyone that owns one nor driven one yourself.

And the Cayman is a Boxter, minus the soft top. And considering the severity of the topic you chose an inappropriate time to share your opinion.

Very glad to hear your dad and cousin are okay. I'd imagine you were horrified upon witnessing this.

Wow. smoke weed much?
caymans and boxsters are awesome cars. I dare to say i have more fun in them that any non gt/turbo 997 out now (pre dfi).

to the OP, im glad your dad is doing fine. I got into a accident with the boxster a couple years back and porsches are just about as solid as they come. good luck, and be safe!
