Very similer owners though as, do you not feel as a Boxster owner you are constantly in defence to other porsche owners i.e cayman, 911 owners as you have the baby of the group, a boxster never says they drive a boxster, they say they drive a Porsche. so boxster owners stick together, wave or flash each other and are passionate about their car. Because they are 'protective'.
Well, I don't feel like I have to defend any of my actions to anyone but I have reached an age where I feel that is fine. Specific to what car I am driving, since I don't define myself by my car and I give little for anyone else's opinion, I am good.
I do understand what you are saying however.
I always give this kind of thing the CHECKBOOK test. At the end of the month when I am paying my bills, I look around to see who is helping me out with some money to pay those bills.
THAT is the person whose opinion I consider important. The rest is just noise.
