The decade which began in 2010 comes to a close next week, and it's got me feeling a little nostalgic for the good times. When were the good times you ask? Why 2012 of course! When you consider the lineup of incredible new models that Porsche has built across the last ten years, there is only one that stands out to me as the best. Better than …

The Widest 356? West Coast Customs’ 356-Cayman Mashup in Motion
A 356 is a tiny car by modern standards. At 65.4" wide, a 356 is narrower even than a current Mitsubishi Mirage(65.6"). Most 356 variants are also shorter in terms of height than Project 944 GTS, and around 18" shorter in overall length than my 944. Stretching one to fit over a 987 Cayman then, is no mean feat. West Coast Customs managed to combine …

Ordinarily I don’t think of myself as being a particularly unique individual. In fact, I consider my personality to be rather reserved – loitering in the shadows more or less. Purchasing a Cayman (my first Porsche), was certainly a departure from this trait. I’ve learned to accept the attention that comes with buying any Porsche product. Two …

It's no George Barris custom Lincoln Futura concept car from the original TV Batman, but here is your opportunity to own a real-deal Porsche Batmobile. Sort of. As you can see from the Craigslist listing, the actor who played Batman, Mr. Adam West, is selling his 2007 Porsche Cayman with reasonably low miles, for a relatively decent price. It's …

In the summer of 2009, I traded my two-year-old Hyundai Sonata for a brand new Porsche Cayman. I don’t think it would surprise you that I took a bath on the exchange. I’m too embarrassed to disclose what I paid to get out of it, but you’ll see that I really had no choice. Understand that an intimate relationship began the moment I saw my …

I’m not proud of it, but there was a point in my life when I lost interest in cars. I stopped going to shows and events, let all my car magazine subscriptions run out, and even traded my 2003 BMW 325xi on a 2006 Hyundai Sonata (sad, but true). I still liked to drive – always preferring to captain the ship than to ride shotgun, but I lost the …

Admit it, at one point or another we've all done it. There's a hard turn ahead or maybe you need to make a U-turn. Then, just as the rear-end starts to come around you touch the gas a smidge harder to snap the rear-end around. If you're lucky you break traction, spin the tires a touch and head on down the road. If you're unlucky, this happens. …

Buddhist monks are known for bestowing blessings on people, marriages, etc. In fact, the practice is so common that many stores have been built up at or near various temples where worshipers can purchase "offerings" (usually consisting of food and other needed household items) in exchange for a blessing. However, in recent years the idea of …

If anyone had doubts about how successful the Boxster Spyder campaign is, then worry no more. According to Porsche, the new Spyder accounts for more than 1/3 of all new Boxster sales. Now, in an effort to capitalize on that success, Porsche plans to unveil a coupe version of the Spyder and call it the Cayman R. :-) Touted as a "purists" …

Talk about buried treasure! The picture below was snapped by Asylum blogger Elizabeth Brady. Ms. Brady was fortunate unfortunate enough to be in Cape Hatteras, N.C. last week during Hurricane Ida. When I first saw the picture below I thought it was Jeremy Clarkson bashing on Porsche again, but it seems this Cayman was just an unfortunate victim …
