    I sent the tip for this, but oh well. Credit is over-rated. Here's looking at you, Matt.

    It belonged to a teacher at my Highschool; she lived ocean-front, but the car got dragged by water about a quarter mile before being buried. Her H2 got covered as well.

    @87CapriceEstate: Very true on both counts. I mean, there is the spouse's income to consider, too, but none of my high school teachers drove anything like that. #porschecayman

    @gman1023: My superintendent made enough money over his nine years at my former school district that he probably could have bought a Maybach, but he didn't. Either because it is a small school district with poverty affecting many people and a Maybach would piss off many people, or the Dakota was more useful to him. #porschecayman

    @87CapriceEstate: Well, yeah, theoretically true for anyone. I mean, if we say a Maybach costs $360,000 (presuming we're talking a new one) and divide that by nine years that's $40,000 per year. Many if not most career over-the-road truckers do better than that. By the same token, my parents could theoretically buy a new Bentley every year. You know, if eating isn't important. #porschecayman

    @gman1023: Not much. But apparently, they do pay accountants more.(Her husband)

    She's a special-ed teacher, though, so she might get a bit more. The teachers here get paid a little more than average, but the cost of living is so high, it cancels out. Most of out teachers live pretty simply, she's just the exception. There is a teacher who had an S2000 but she sold it for a Solstice.

    @gman1023: That happens a fair amount around where my dad lives(Spartanburg, SC). Most people in the middle class neighborhoods have older Explorers or equivalent. You go to the trailer parks, and you suddenly see a long trail of new 'Vettes, Camaros, SRT-10s, Chargers, and the occasional new BMW. It's all about priorities.

    @AustinMiniMan: Ahh, so then it works out. My fourth grade teacher's husband is a fairly successful real estate agent in the area so she always was in an Audi or a new SUV or more recently, a Mercedes CLS. She probably makes ~$25,000 a year (parochial Catholic school).

    @AustinMiniMan: Exactly, it's all priorities. Also, if they don't plan to have kids they can spend more. Plus, there are families, inheritances, debt, etc to be considered. It's all a matter of priorities in the end.

    The owner of this Porsche gets the triple idiot award for:
    1) Driving a Porsche on a beach
    2) during Hurricane Ida
    3) and when it started to get stuck in the sand, using the "keep gunning it" method to attempt to get unstuck. #porschecayman

    @tempesjo: I don't think he was driving on a beach. The outer banks are just as it sounds, a huge bank of sand and considering the 20' swells on the east coast this weekend, it wouldn't take much to cover the entire island. #porschecayman

    @pj134: I'll admit your theory has merit, but I'm going to ignore logic and continue thinking that the Porsche owner was hooning on the beach during a hurricane and got stuck. #porschecayman

    @tempesjo: A friend drove down there this past weekend - the roads were covered with six feet of sand. It was quite a storm, even inland.

    Wind an water can move a lot of sand. Smart drivers would move their cars, too. #porschecayman

    FS:NC: I have a lightly used Porsche Cayman for sale, fully decked out only a couple of years old. I mostly use it on the highway so before I put it up for sale I had the whole body wetsanded by one of the best shops around, I mean, this guy is a god. It's got everything on it, I'll get pictures up later this week. The weather's been really shitty down here and I don't feel like going out in it. Will consider trades for a backhoe, must recieve trade first. #porschecayman
