Porsches are everywhere here, but 986s have dropped off the map. Only see a handful per year on the road, and about a 50/50 split of regular vs. S models.

In our case, I think they've all been driven into the ground because the 986 was very popular here in the warm weather. Least likely place for me to see any Porsche is on the highway. I figure it's because this city isn't large enough for the affluent to have to head for the hills yet. Go downtown and into the adjacent neighborhoods, and that's where they all are.

Overall, I think there are definitely less Porsches on the road, in general. I blame this on there being a larger pool of awesome cars to buy here now vs. 10-15 years ago, and less mystique around the badge than before they started making SUVs.

I see way more Cayennes and Panomaras then anything else on the road. Did find lots of Carreras, Caymans, and Boxsters at the track yesterday. I guess you have to go to their natural habitat to see lots of them. It's Greta to see them being used as the designers had intended. I think I saw more Caymans, by far the track weapon of choice at this event, in one day then I see in a year on the road. A few where even trailered in and most where run slicks and. Couple of Rs After the Boxster I see a Cayman in my future. There was even a Carrera GT. That was a real privilege to see be used in anger.
