Hello, I am Cash - (middle name) and I found this forum while looking for information on my soon to be new Porsche.

Current fun cars: A 2000 BMW M roadster with 148K one owner miles, 2008 BMW 328 convertible, owned since new, both bmws going to a new home to open garage space for the New 2023 Cayman GTS I will get at the factory in March. Also have a 500LC which sounds better than any car should be allowed.... a true GT. And a 2004 BMW K1200GT - awesome long distance bike....

Have owned Porsches since my first one in 1983 - a 914, followed by a 356, early 911, 83 911SC, 84 Targa, 85.5 944...
And that is just the Porsches. The GTS will be my LAST new car, I am sure. Have been wanting to do factory delivery since watching a friend do it in 1977....

Retired after 40+ years of military and government service, former military pilot, and fun seeking grandfather...
Lots of folks have great knowledge of the Cayman and I hope to learn a bit before taking delivery of this awesome 4.0 GTS.

Welcome to Carpokes! I’ve owned my 2022 Cayman GTS for a bit over a year. I drove BMWs and Audis since 1977. The GTS is my first Porsche and I love it. Feel free to send me a PM and I’ll give you my contact info if you have any questions about the GTS.

BTW, our good friends live in Ponte Vedra Beach. In September, we joined them for a trip to Italy.
Thanks,
Larry

My bet is that you're going to love your new Cayman GTS more than you know. Congrats!

What color are you getting?

My 23' GTS is coming in the Adventurine Green colour, with a leather interior - Expresso and Cognac. I saw the same combination on a Turbo in Monterey earlier this year during Pebble Beach, and it was stunning. The Mrs. even liked it, so an easy choice over the standard GTS interior. I also opted for the five spoke wheels - a throwback to my early 911SC with Fuchs... Should be an awesome combination, looking forward to many smiles in her....

Sounds like a great spec! Espresso and Cognac are just so rich and regal. Welcome to Carpokes, and sincere thanks for your service to our country.

This combo will look great. I was going AGM, stop sale on that colour in Canada, so I moved to Chalk.
