I'd honestly rather the trailer have a carport

One of our garage spaces is double depth, so I may just end up tucking the cayman in front of the truck using that space. I did that for one winter with the Boxster when I was building the RX-8 but still had the BMW.

Ha! I get it. I quite like a carport. Had two+ at my house in Rapp. Not great for dust/security/mice, but otherwise super easy and a decent value. Will protect from rain/hail.

I would still want a proper garage for the important car(s) and whatever secure storage junk I have.

My garage has easily absorbed the extra car space since I went down to one car with non-perishable storage, lawn equipment and tools, etc. it’s nice to have that elbow room.

I finally began putting the used 19” Carrera Classics on the 997.2 this evening. I still have the right side to do tomorrow morning,

Looking good, I always liked those wheels and it is nice to give the car a different look.

That’s a great look.

Love those wheels.

I’m sorry I forgot what were the OEM wheels? The lobster claw wheels?

The optional 19s are certainly an improvement over the factory installed 18s on a base 997.2. The car looks sportier… The Carrera Classics are not my favorite, but I am still waiting on Michelin to launch the new PS5S for the NIB Carrera S II wheels.

lemming, the 18” is still on the rear in pic 1 above. Lobster claws were on the 997.1.
