Wish I had headphone here at work.

I'd take the Boxster version though.

What's all this "Big Homie" nonsense about?   :facepalm:

This is the third thread in which I've seen this cringeworthy adjective.  Not since the heyday of breakdancing have I heard anyone being addressed as a "Homie", big or otherwise.  It was embarrassing way back then and is even more tragically shameful now.

At this point I'm pretty much just expecting that every higher edition Porsche, the GTS labeled ones especially, will be essentially the best cars in their class and also represent a strange "value" in Porsche land for how much good you get relative to just optioning out a lower spec car.

Not that I have a problem with it, but what is the origin of the "big homie" thing?  I feel like this is some kind of forum joke that I'm not up to speed on.

As to the Cayman GTS... WANT.

Steve Sutcliffe is bigger than the average car reviewer. And I find my tastes align with his 90% of the time, like a homie.

Big homie drives Boxster GTS.

I think I'd be willing to take the Boxster over the Cayman.

Nah, Cayman all the way. I can always get a second convertible car if I can afford one of these. :lol:
