New Addition To My Garage


I know this has nothing to do with cycling but I couldn't resist showing off my latest beauty! Isn't she sweet? It's a 2007 Porsche Cayman S and it goes from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds with a top speed of 175 mph (not that I'll ever go that fast)

I've been wanting to replace my 1999 Porsche Boxster for something a little more practical (ie. can put bike racks on top of without spending 5 hours assembling the Boxster RTS). When I saw this car being introduced over a year ago into the US, I took Switch down to Carlsen Porsche and check out the Cayman S during an open house they had. What a beauty it was and I knew right then and there I was going to own one of those some day soon. For the last year, Switch has been listening to me on our morning rides talk about by savings goals and how much closer I was to buying my Cayman S. Thank heavens he hung with me for the last 15 months over this - most normal people would have ridden off and left me to daydream on my own. Anyway, someplace around the middle of May I decided that the time was right and this is what I ended up with.

Stop by sometime and I'll give you a ride :-)


PS. I'll be posting more pictures on my photo gallery on the front page. If you want to see more, check there.
