Porsche Gayman-S

THIS guy...Cut me off in his little Porsche Cayman S @ the lights before merging onto the Turnpike windows down and he yelled..

"You could have bought one of these w' the money u spent on that trash"

Before I even had a sec to say anything he rolled his windows up and gunned it as it turned green...I catch up did 4 pulls and I put him to shame every time by 5-8 CL's...! ( I got a Tune, Dci)

He then stalks me all they way to my exit, I made a turn went to Publix..he followed....I parked, he parked lowers his window and says.....U seem to suffer from insanity....At which I replied....I don't SUFFER from insanity I Enjoy eve fk minute of it....He just started his car up and bailed out.....!

OK, I am all vented now....he really set me off by calling the car "trash" and then not having the decency to hear my reply (which would have been "Thank you, I enjoy my trashy car") by rolling his windows up and moving slowly forward Beyond the white STOP line trying to get a head start.


Mexico Turnpike was empty...scanner was on...!

I've never known anyone to pack the inferiority complex that cayman drivers do. They're always on the defensive. It's sad, because it's actually a nice, purposeful car.

I have driven both. Give me the 335 anyday. I ate up a 2008 about three months ago in my M. He wouldnt even acknowledge his ass rapage, He should of known his role and not messed with me as I'm sure it ruined his whole day.

Yup, that's exactly how a married man with kids should react when challenged to a street duel.

I am with you on that, I would have made the same comment you did...I guess he pressed my wrong buttons, keep in mind it was not a street duel, it was Northbound on the turnpike Didn't see any vehicles ahead I wouldn't have raced him if there was ANY traffic. and no kids in the car...Just Pissed off ol'me.

As far as your story goes, very disrespectful to call a 335 trashy, but just as bad for you to egg him on and vice versa. Just ignore people like that.
wait, I though you said you only test drove the e92 m3 for 15 minutes or so in one of your post about how bad the m interior was and you didn't buy it. now you are saying u own not one, but some e92 m3s? i smell BS all over places here.

I think he's using "owned" in the colloquial sense (i.e - Destroyed, mastered, beat badly, etc).

Lighter weight, mid-engined. I've witnessed a Cayman S out tracking a Nissan GT-R. The driver is a big part of the equation too.
