In the Harley world the pecking order is alot like the alledged Porsche anti snobbery.........Hard core old time riders think the only good Harleys are those with the Panhead or Knucklehead motor. Then the Shovelhead motor came and almost put Harley out of business it was so bad, but now a shovelhead is seen as a collectable/classic. Then the Evo motor bikes came out and the hard core riders hated them, even though they are the best and most dependable motor Harley ever built. Most custom built bikes have aftermarket Evo motors. The Twin Cam is the lastest motor and its had its ups and downs, but overall is a good, dependable motor. Of course all the Evo motor riders hate it along with any old timers that are left over.........The point is if you keep your car/bike in good shape it will be considered a classic/collectable vehicle in the future and will be admired. I happen to think that the Boxster will be a true collector/classic car down the road. It may take another 20 years. Back in the 80's you couldnt give away alot of muscle cars. Now I cant believe the prices that they can go for and how desirable they are. Maybe in the future the Boxster will be admired alot like the 356 is today, but the best thing you can do in this time is take care of it, ride it and enjoy it.
