Sold the Porsche for a family car

Chris S · 03-12-2009, 01:19 AM

As much as I loved my Cayman S, it just wasn't getting very much use. It was sort of stuck in the middle between the Jetta and Ridgeline for family hauling, and the Miata for track duty.

One evening a week or two ago, I was just browsing EBay for interesting cars, and found one that looked like a worthy replacement. It just happened to be in Austin, and though I expected it to be a long shot, I sent an email to inquire if the seller would be interested in working a trade. I was surprised that he was, and now we both have vehicles that better suit our respective needs.

I can't imagine a 4 door sedan being any more fun than this!

Damn Chris, I hate to see you having to make sacrifices like that.

We're going to be needing more pics of both the cayman and the bmw.

Congrats, Chris.

Are you going to unload the Jetta now too or keep two sedans?
