Hi everyone, new member from southern CA. First post and first Porsche as well. I have a '23 GTS 4.0 Cayman currently sitting at Emden port waiting for a ride over. Excited and hopefully not too long of a wait for my new daily.
Exciting for sure! What color is your new 718? Post pics when it arrives. Interior too. We like pictures here!
You are going to love the car - just a dream to drive and drive and drive...
Oh yeah, welcome to Carpokes!

Welcome to Carpokes Kevin!
Liked your dog pic - your critter and mine are a bit much for sports cars. Hah!
What's the skinny on your incoming Cayman GTS? I know you are excited - only a couple more weeks of anticipation.

Hello, this is Chris. It is my first day on Carpokes; registering after reading the Open Letter in the January 2023 edition of Panorama.
My current daily driver is a 2015 Cayman. Purchased the car in 2018, the year I retired, as a CPO from a Porsche dealer. Have enjoyed the car immensely. Issues have been primarily service-related with the only unforeseen problem being a headliner replacement. My goal is to keep ahead of maintenance issues while working in upgrades where possible. Looking at a backup camera and new tires in the coming months.
This is my second Porsche. The first was purchased in 1973. It was a 1958 356A 1600S coupe. With that car, I did most of the DIY work myself with the help of my older brother. A lot of late nights in the driveway outside my apartment. But I loved the car; handled like a go cart and still got up to speed on i95. Unfortunately, it got sold in the mid-70s. Had a lot of cars since then, but glad to be driving a Porsche once again! Especially the mid engine version, which I had liked since they first came out.
Looking forward to learning from the forum.
Glad to be on board.

Welcome to Carpokes Chris! Great to have you onboard!
I bet the majority of folks on here wish they never sold their first Porsche. Mine was an '85 3.2 Carrera with under 50k miles, which I sold for $21k if memory serves...
