I never said the 911 is the only Porsche, just that the baby versions of it aren't 
The 959 isn't a 911 either, and that's definitely a Porsche.
I was kinda curious as to how much one of these baby P-cars go for, so I priced out a Cayman, with only a few basic things that I feel are necessary. God damn the options are pricey!
Cayman S
$75,300.00
Exterior Color
Carrara White
B4
$0.00
Interior Color
Black Sport Seats
AP
$500.00
Exterior
Bi-Xenon Headlight Package
P74
$1,530.00
Aerokit
XAM
$8,200.00
Headlight Cleaner Cover in Exterior Color
CGA
$250.00
Wheels
18" Cayman S wheel
401
$0.00
Interior
Sports Bucket Seats
P03
$3,775.00
Total Price $88,875.02

ok want some input..
i've been dealing with my damaged wheels from shipping for a month. i went through fedex as the vendor asked me to, but then fedex refused the claim because the packaging was crap
so things get ugly the vendor's avoiding me. i pm numerous times with my phone# for him to call me. I call him every few days and i get put on hold and then they hang up on me or i get voice mail. so I leave him voice mails with my number and i never hear from the dude.
at this point i don't even care about the lip chips anymore i just want him to send me the missing valve cover, 1 missing hub ring and maybe a couple hundred to cover repair cost just out of principle that the packaging was crap. although the missing valve cover is clearly a mistake from the shop when they mounted the tires.
am i being impatient?
(i think i just want a resolution.. not some incident left hanging)

Hey, where can I buy automotive paint in the GTA? I need to be able to either pick it based on OEM colour code, or provide them a sample and have it mixed to match. I need it to be in an aerosol can as well.

i wonder how that would work.
PC master card has a 90 days protection thing
Best of all, coverage is automatic if you pay in full with your President's Choice Financial MasterCard.
· safety net on your purchases for 90 days against theft, loss, or damage

Hmm.. Spoke with them, but it doesn't look like the piece I have is big enough to sample from. I may end up pulling off the front bumper and bringing it in for them to sample from
