Boxter Spyder as a daily in the winter in Seattle? I applaud you, sir.

Unless you just don't watch top gear and didn't know what you were in for....

No, I'm gonna go with someone is Jalop as fuck and ain't even care if he/she gets wet. I mean the back window IS just a piece of un-defrosted floppy plastic, exactly like an early NA Miata. So it could only be one of us.

Regardless, it does look fantastic in white, and I've never really liked the boxer that much.

My friend used to have one looks just like that one. He sold it 6 month later even though we don't have snow here in Indonesia. It was fantastic.

What's the maintenance on a Caymen cost? I think they're in that perfect sweet spot of "not too old to be expensive to maintain" and "old enough to justify as a DD without worry about depreciation from miles".

With the top on you won't get wet!!! It only sucks if the top is off and it starts raining unexpectedly. Then you're screwed.

"Winter" here in Seattle is easily doable in that.

And it was over 50 today, barely drizzled in places. Not quite winter conditions.

I'd daily a regular Boxster for sure, or a Miata for that matter haha. I just wouldn't want a slightly unstable, difficult to erect tent over my head. I'd totally take it as a second car.

I guess I might have been being a little click-baity in my overstatement. I mean, I went for a run today haha.

Gotta stop reading the FP.

That's the thing in Washington, we don't get a huge amount of actual precipitation. We just get lots of on-off drizzle. And the off parts are often beautiful, but theres always another rain cloud an hour away.

I don't know, I just think I wouldn't get the top down enough to justify not getting a Cayman. Because one day it WILL start raining while you're stuck in traffic on a bridge, and both your day and your interior will be ruined.

Haha I don't doubt it. I almost took a valet job at the Bravern a couple years ago. Just during the interview I saw some batshit cars haha.

I've thought about doing a post of me walking around taking pics of the cars but security would probably wreck my shit.

This would be Yahoo, Coca Cola Corporate, 3 plastic surgeons and some high end architect firms. It's disgusting the stuff I see.
