I get the girl car / hairdresser jibe every day from my clients. The only woman I knew who drove a Boxster was a company director of the business next door to mine. She had a yellow 986 and I hated her for it!
The other girls around here and the hairdresser types tend to want the MX5 or MR2. Interestingly in the "what do you do for a living thread" I cannot remember there being one hairdresser, but loads of engineers and IT consultants.
The thing most wives and partners hate about us getting a Boxster is the babe magnet factor. It is a selfish "me" car and is all about our pleasure and impressing the girls. There is one place for the pretty blonde next to us and that is it!
I don't care what anyone says, the 986 is a fabulous and no other car comes close. If I had enough money to buy a 911 I still wouldn't and would go for a new 981 any day.
