I think that there are people who buy PCars for the way they handle and drive. Some buy them for the way they look. But some buy them for the status. I believe it is those people who do things like call the Boxster a Chickster or look down their noses at 914s or 944s or non GT3s/ They are silly folks whose own esteem is derived from the car. They play the status game by putting down other's cars. Very silly. Luckily I have found those people in the minority among Porsche owners.

I was recently at a Corvette club autocross and happily most of the 'vette owners were very complimentary about my non-vette. Real car people can enjoy and respect other car people and their cars. Phonies cannot.

Regards,
Alan
