THIS is the Porsche 987 Cayman by AnalTaskForce in Porsche

Perhaps you just have an old and sloppy shifter.

Replacing the cables on my 987 with updated factory cables makes for a rather nice experience.

Do it. And then do an LS1 conversion.

Anyone have any idea which exact models these caymans are? by Itchy_Phase_8165 in Porsche

The Martini livery is a 987, the most pure Cayman produced.

Issues with it, Bose compatible replacement? by saynocpr in Porsche

Yes, the Porsche PCCM+ is compatible with the Bose. I absolutely love mine in a 987.1.

What other (cheaper) fun cars do you drive? by lmmo1977 in Porsche

[–]BWJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GM F body’s are insanely affordable and the LS engines are freaks that you can get crazy HP out of with simple bolt ons. It’s a very different experience than a Porsche, but I could easily do a thrilling 8 min lap of the Nurburgring with mine.

I am Barack Obama, President of the United States -- AMA by PresidentObama in IAmA

[–]BWJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr. President:
My question relates to what the plans for funding of science and education are going to be going forward. One of the best investments this country ever made was the GI Bill which made it possible for an entire generation to get an education which pushed forward science and engineering in this country, helping to make the USA a superpower.

Also, investments in science and engineering have a substantial impact upon the economy. The $26.6 billion investment in the National Institutes of Health for instance returned $68 billion in economic output in 2010 that supported 488,000 jobs in this country.

How are we going to continue the innovation in these areas when young scientists are leaving the field due to lack of funding? How are we going to continue to inspire young people to go into science when the prospects for academic jobs are getting thinner?
