Is your 718 your daily driver?

My 2019 Cayman S is my almost daily driver for 9 months of the year. I removed my almost new 19” summer tires and replaced them with the same sized 19” Michelin All Season tires. We took delivery of the CS at PEC Atlanta.

I try not to leave the house in the CS if it is raining. As a retired CPA, I am currently work at one of the local Porsche Dealership as a Brand Ambassador, enjoying my multiple trips during the past four years to PCNA Atlanta for training.

I have been a long time PCA member and I also am the original owner of a European model 1986 911 Carrera M491 in Marble Grey, ordered and delivered in Zurich. I have been fortunate in that I have visited the Porsche Factory, Gmund and Porsche events in Zell am See multiple times.

Hers is my Cayman S, I really smile and enjoy driving it.

@wdr911 Beautiful and unique interior. Please tell us at Carpokes about your journey to source and install your leather seats, seat inserts, center console, etc. Will electric heated seats work with the fabric seat inserts?

@wdr911 Like Larry C, I dig that interior and would like to know more about it. Looks great!

Same same for me too. Gotta get the S5 in motion as it collects dust these days

Beautiful car, very unique interior.

I am like you, if rain is in the forecast I take my Cayenne, but I have been caught a few times , especially in summer, when a storm pops up. NO need for snow tires here in Alabama, we do get a bit of snow but the 718 stays warm in the garage on those infrequent days.

2022 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 is my daily. I did do full car PPF but since it’s not a garage queen I drive it rain or shine. If it’s really ugly outside I drive my 2017 BMW M3 Comp. Taking the cayman out to circuit of the America on Dec 1st for Porsche Delivery experience

Yes, to work 3 days a week and most errands, dinners etc. I always park strategically, typically protecting at least one side of the car by taking end spots etc. I don’t park alone in the far reaches of lots as I think that tends to bring unwanted attention. Almost 17 months and ~14,500 miles without, knock on wood, incident.
