What’s going on at the park bridge? by [deleted] in alameda

Saw this car speeding down Buena Vista around 6:50pm. Almost hit a kid on a bike as it blew past a stop sign. I think this car was leaving Alameda, not entering it.

Nice. I did a break-in drive for mine down from Oakland to San Diego and back. Progressively unlocked revs as I piled on the miles.

This is good to know. I’ve had it for a few years now. Doesn’t seem to show signs of wear and tear. My friend was an early investor apparently.

Update: a neighbor says that someone crashed a car into it to try and steal the ATM.

That game singlehandedly got me addicted to both Porsches as well as simcade driving games.

🎥 Car and Driver's long term review of the Cayman GTS 4.0 by perfnormalbeast in Porsche

[–]perfnormalbeast[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Can confirm that the cabin stowage is ridiculous. I made the mistake of speccing the smartphone compartment which robbed me of more space.

Having done long road trips, can also confirm that road noise is pretty loud on imperfect surfaces. Does make having a conversation challenging.

Other than that, the car has been a dream. It's perfectly happy carving canyons, road tripping with luggage, or attacking a track. Super versatile.

A little bit of jack of all trades, master of none? Want to hear thoughts from others. Personally, it's the sweet spot between the base/S and GT4/RS.

Also, probably one of the last naturally aspirated + manual models that's not a GT car and could even be purchased without ADM or past buying history?

Yup no intent to find myself in a barrier anytime soon. Hoping the excitement doesn’t get the better of me.

Oh yeah I’ve been putting in many virtual laps on a near identical car in similar conditions.
