2016 Porsche Cayman - 6000 mile Road Trip and Review

[shockerracing.com]

So I am finally getting around to posting up about my 2016 Porsche Cayman I picked up on July 13th. I had ordered it in March because all of the Cayman's in stock on dealer lots were fully loaded and had the PDK transmission. In order to fit my budget, I needed to order with a lot less options and I was wanting to get a 6 speed. I placed my order for a Racing Yellow Cayman and I just added the Sport Chrono Package, the Bose Stereo and the Sport Steering Wheel. The initial order was supposed to be for a 2015 but I ended up getting the very first 2016 Cayman in the U.S. When it finally got into the U.S. and I took delivery I had two weeks left before my wife, Kim, and I had planned to take it on a 3 week road trip. Our destinations were: Kansas City, Turner Falls in Oklahoma, Dallas/Ft. Worth, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, San Diego, Palm Springs, Monterey, and then San Francisco before heading home. So far my wife and I have been enjoying the hell out of it. We loved every minute of the trip with this car and ended the trip with over 6800 miles on the car just 5 weeks after taking delivery of her! I wrote a complete review and blog of our trip over on ShockerRacing.com and you can check it out here if you are interested: http://www.shockerracing.com/index....s/145-981-porsche-cayman-road-trip-and-review

Of course I made wifey take some pics in a ShockerRacingGirls Crop Top because well... thats what I do! So be nice, the blonde is my wife, Kim, aka Mrs ShockerRacing!

I definitely dig the car, James. Especially the more I see of it. I'm also super jealous of the road trip...I dont think the Evo could ever do that, or the Honda

 

[Mook]

I also had no idea you had the very first 2016...you probably told me too.

Yeah, it was kind of cool to know that but not that it really matters for anything but that was part of why it took so long to get mine.

The road trip was so amazing, I kept saying it was a once in a lifetime kind of trip but I will definitely have to do something like this again. It was so much fun, everyone asks if we had a favorite part of the trip but what was cool was that it felt like 5 or 6 different trips all in one.

It probably goes without saying that I love the car. Everyone should take a road trip west. You don't even need to do the Route 66 thing. Just take 80 to 70 and 70 on down through the Rockies, Utah, Nevada, etc. It is amazingly beautiful.

I barely trust that car to drive a state away...even tho its never given me a reason to.

We took 80 all the way back from San Fran but worked our way along a more southern route heading west including parts of rt 66.

Whuttt, why? Keep oil in it and it'll run foreva.

I put oil in it once in awhile. I need to do the EGR b/c its not gonna pass emissions in Nov. But I think I gotta pull some rail or some BS.

And now I'm clogging up James' thread.

Awesome trip! I love that you drive the car.
