Sorry for the crappy camera phone pic. Not sure which I wanted, the GTR or Cayman... haha

The GTR is considerably bigger than the Cayman, IMO, when you see them close together. Not sure what trim the Cayman was cause of the kit and the rear had a badge that said "GT." The black car you can barely see the rear of was a CLS550 and infront of it was a black SL500.

you can usually tell from the front grill and tail pipe of the Cayman like the Boxter.

In between the 2 airdam under the head light, if there is an extra grill, in between, Cayman S, in the tailpipe, 2 exhaust pipe = normal Cayman, single exhaust pipe = Cayman S

What neighborhood are you looking in? Those are some pretty nice houses. I've been pretty disappointed with what 500k will get me these days.

It's not about keeping up with anyone - I live within my means. I've seen too much of that other mentality when I started to see all the foreclosures in my friend's neighborhood in the past year or two.

Yes, it was a CLS550.

I wasn't paying enough attention to remember any of that...

These houses are a "bit" over $500k but not outrageous; the one behind the Cayman was one of the more expensive ones at $1.2m ~3300 sq ft IIRC 4bd/3.5 bath.

That's correct, these are all model homes. Models just happened to be on both sides of the street.

Anyway, I think I'm going back to this community this weekend so if I see anything nice to take a pic of, I will... haha

That was the first thing I thought too. I can't imagine leaving my car outside like that.

Looks like a TechArt GTsport Cayman (based on the Cayman S)

Wow!! In WI (40 mins north of Milwaukee), 4,000 sq ft 4 bed, 3.5 bath on 1 acre 1 mile off Lake Michigan= $400K

Do they jack up car prices as well? Just curious as I never thought about it...
