I understand why some people choose to drive their Boxster only on sunny 75 degree days, and so i'm not arguing with their logic. My logic is simply that I bought this car to be driven. When I've driven it into the ground (which I'm guessing won't be for many years), I'll buy another car to drive.

If we were talking CGT, 360, or something like that, it'd be a different story, but a Boxster is not exactly an exotic or a collector's car or something.
