err - yes and maybe... Boxster owners are different from early 911 owners.
I would guess that Porsche ownership today is more affordable than what it was in the 1960's and 1970's - which brings back the point that Boxsters (and to a lesser extent 924/944/968) owners are not as savvy as early 911 buyers, because Porsche are aiming the Boxster product at a different market.
Early cars had no power steering, no cooling worth mentioning, all manual gears, no brake booster etc etc. Could you get your wife into one - at more money than a Mercedese or a Caddi?? Would she buy one??
In the US, how many weeks pay would it have cost in 1965 to buy a 911S, E or T? Even the 912 was not a "cheap" option either. I think you would have had to have been a pretty commited enthusiast to buy any of them!
A lot more committed than todays Boxster buyer I would venture.
Though I fully agree about the superhighway......
