The Cayman S
So did you know that Porsche has come out with a new model? Its called the Porsche Cayman S, and here is a picture :
Cayman S is based on the Boxster S, but features its own distinctive styling, as you might realise if you're a Porsche buff. It is powered by a 3.4-liter flat six-cylinder engine teamed with the smooth 6-speed manual transmission found in the Boxster S that has been enhanced for the Cayman S with shortened and more precise shift travel. Output is rated at 295 horsepower with 255 lb-ft of torque, good enough for a 0-60 time of 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 171 mph, according to Porsche... clearly the car wasn't designed to be driven here, though the name might make one think otherwise... 
What oonoo think of the looks of the car? It looks ok to me, and if you were to buy me one, I'd rev it for awhile, but I prefer the looks of the older 911's still... hmmm.... maybe if I imagine a rear spoiler a la the 911 or the 930 Turbo... naw, I still prefer the look of the mountains in the background.
Anyway, its nice that the car is named after Cayman (actually, its named after a crocodile, I think, but thats what gave the Caymans their name as well, the same crocodiles), and hey, it is a Porsche, so some people are going to crave it. I think the Tourist Board here should snap up three or so of them and come up with some kind of competition so that they can give the cars away to tourists. If they are really creative, maybe they can drum up tourist arrivals. I suspect they are doing quite well in that department, but more might not hurt, a lie? 
There is a likkle bit more...
By the way, I got an email the other day. It showed a couple of pictures and asked the question "Do you know what the major difference between Europe and the US is?". Following this question, it showed the following two pictures...
Interesting pictures, huh? A sort of large, fleshy looking American woman, and the food she is wont to consume, and her much smaller svelte looking European counterpart, and the food she is wont to eat!
The point they try to make is clear, aand I am sure that there is more than a grain of truth to it. I had better make some adjustments to my diet, huh? At least I had better stick to the salads or the grilled chicken sandwiches when I go to Wendys, and maybe I should ask them to hold the mayo.
Anyway, if you want to buy the Porsche Cayman S, it would definitely be better for you if you started to eat and look the European way than the American way depicted above, nuh true? In fact, its probably a good idea for most of us to give some thought to this difference highlighted whether or not we hanker after the Porsche...
More fyah for junk food!

*drooooooooool* OMG - what a beaut of a car. Is it me, or do those specs sound a little low-end?
As for the women... friend of mine on IM just asked me where is good to stay in Jamaica where he can avoid (among other things) "fat americans".... :-| Ah boy. They've developed a seriously ugly reputation - no wonder the middle easterners hate them so - too much luxury, avarice and sloth.

You know, it's sad when I find myself looking at the fat American more closely than the skinny European....I've been in this country and this state waaay too long!

It is a sad reality that about two thirds of Americans are overweight. The even more depressing thought is the spread among the kids.
