Love cars and have been driving a manual since 1986—except for a 2.5 year period when I had a Genesis G 70 (nice car but not a Porsche).
My first P Car was a 1992 black, 6 speed 968. Then I purchased a 2002 996 Targa. The 996 was faster, newer, etc., but I really loved the balance and handling of the 968. I had these two P Cars when my boys were young and could fit in the back seats. When they got too big, I had to give up the two cars (I regretted selling the 968 for years) and I jumped into a more family friendly BMW 540i, a 6 speed V8 marvel.
After several years, several cars and my boys becoming men—in May of this year, I purchased a 2007 Cayman S with a Tubi exhaust system. The best car I’ve owned or driven. Mid engine magic…love it!
So happy to be back in a P Car

Welcome to Carpokes! Long-time 944 fan here, so understand why you regret selling the 968. The Cayman S is kind of the spiritual successor in a lot of ways....
