Replying to: demetrius (Dec 31, 2006 5:45 pm) It just goes to show that we are all different, and have different automotive desires/expectations. You went with less power, bigger wheels, and upgraded electronics. At least Porsche makes your ideal Cayman! If Porsche offered it, I'd choose the Cayman S with PASM, but with the smaller/lighter 17" wheels, no stereo, manual crank windows, and A/C delete. Different strokes...

Replying to: fedlawman (Dec 31, 2006 7:13 pm) No stereo, manual windows and no A/C. Sound like you want a single purpose car- a true race car. I needed a little bit more day-to-day livability for things such as dates and client entertainment. I was willing to give up .7 tenths off the 0-60 and 11 mph off the top speed for these comforts.

Replying to: fedlawman (Dec 31, 2006 7:13 pm) manual crank windows A friend of mine stopped by over the holidays to show off his restored 1978 Mercedes 240D. As we were driving around, my 11 year old asked from the rear seat, "what's this?", pointing to the window crank. At least she knew what the stick shift was, and even noticied that "5th and 6th gears are missing". Replies to this message: fedlawman (Jan 02, 2007 11:53 am)

Replying to: habitat1 (Jan 02, 2007 9:59 am) Truth be known, I don't think my kids would know what a window crank is either. Ironically, I've never had a power window fail. In fact, the only window failure I've ever had in any car was the manual crank in my old Alfa Spider. That mechanism was a dreadful affair with wire cables, bell cranks, and all manner of ridiculous gears and pulleys. A 4-speed manual diesel - now that's a real Mercedes!
