- A different video focusing on goals and how you should always be looking forward to the next one. Always keep your mind busy focusing on what's next.
BONUS drinking game: Every time I say "funk" take a drink (I say it a lot for some reason).

I agree it's important to set goals but this way of thinking can also have some faults. If your always thinking about getting the next "thing" are you really appreciating what you have currently? Are you truly living in the moment? Or only looking forward to the future? For example "I'll be happy when I have a 911" then you get it and it's not a gt3 and the cycle continues.
Hi Chris, guess I understand your situation. My advice: make your next goal to take two months off and drive this wonderful little car from coast to coast :)
Getting a 911 will not do much for you I think: more power, higher costs, less handling, less rarity... Same for a house or a new business, they will just make life busier not more fun.
You have got the best car to have fun with and taking it for a real trip will make you love the manual gearbox again. I have a manual 2006 Cayman S... just love it!
Nice introspective video, Chris.
In July I brought home a 2016 Cayman S. About a month ago, I began doubting my purchase, wishing that I had bought a GT4 instead.
After a few days of this flawed thinking, I came back to my senses realizing that I was not living in the moment.
I am now enjoying my CS to the fullest!
Hope you enjoy your Cayman to the max!
Hi Chris. I try to read every Cayman review out there and I must say I like yours. You approach with insightful honesty disclosing to the viewer exactly how you feel. Thanks for telling us what's been troubling you. I think most are in that position at some point. Anyway, enjoy the car. I love my CS. Aside from the car's performance aspects, I especially relish the way the car makes me feel when I drive it. Happy driving!!
Hi Chris. Watched several of your Cayman videos and they have been very informative. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a 2007 Cayman with 87K miles. I keep reading about the IMS issue and the real experienced guys seem to (most of them) say the problem is overblown and that in 2006 the IMS was upgraded so with a 2007 it's almost a non-issue. I read one website that said the most reliable data they have is that there is about a 1% IMS failure rate with the 2007 Cayman. I know you did a lot of research and now have had your Cayman for a while. What's your take on the IMS issue?
Yes, I agree. I look for something that has reasonable mileage for its age. If it has really low miles I don't consider it. I've looked at a couple of cars with close to 100K but have a great service history so the mileage doesn't really bother me. I just wish the IMS could be changed in the Cayman without separating the block so I could use the LN Engineering retrofit IMS. That would be the best of both worlds because for $1K I could have complete peace of mind.
Man if you think acheiving a goal ends with a let down wait until you retire and find that there is nothing left to hunt. I agree with the other posters here. Try to live in the moment. Find a yoga studio or enjoy your car on the amazing Mass back roads, but enjoy it while you have it.
