Too big for a Cayman?

The shame is that I absolutely can NOT own a 987 or Cayman as the darn vertical portion of the console is intrusive and it can't be removed or altered.

I agree. I would have sold my car if it were not for the GT3 delete option. I considered upgrading for the extra 50 hp, but the 987 is just not comfortable enough with the new console preventing the GT3 delete option.

I'm 6'1" and 245. I was a Div 1 linebacker 10 yrs ago and still have the same basic build, just a little softer

And as you and other tall guys know, that console is a problem with almost every car on the planet today. Disgusting......

Before you decide you can't handle the 987. I have the same center console gripe (6' - 255) but I found a simple and cheap solution. I bought a wrestler's knee pad which is a pad on a full wrap elastic band, and wear it under my pants. I did it to begin with because my right knee bothers me and it rubbed right at the bottom of my right kneecap (the most painful part to begin with). After wearing the pad to stop the banging and rubbing on the center console, guess what happened? The slight support of the elastic wrap made my knee all better!
Now I wear one of the three I own at least four days a week. I keep one in the frunk (front trunk), in case I forget to pack it for a trip, which I did two weekends ago.
One nice part of this older than dirt crap is you finally begin to understand yourself!
