So most of the 911's these guys are talking about are still firmly in the used car category and not at all in the exotic car category. They turn their noses up at Boxsters because they don't know the full Porsche history. If these guys did, namely that it goes further than 1964, they would know that the Boxster is the quintessential Porsche. The very first 356A (#1 circa 1948) that rolled off assembly for Ferry Porsche, who was dissatisfied with what he'd driven at the time and wanted a one-off Porsche for his own personal use, had only two seats, had no top, and the engine sat in the middle. The very first Porsche ever... was essentially a Boxster by design. These guys in the video you posted have a vested interest in pushing the post 1964 era of Porsche... or maybe they started drinking the Boxster-dissing kool-aide straight away.

That took longer than I expected. Right after posting up the videos trying to help out the OP'er I winced and thought of you, leading me to post the follow up "Warning", apparently to no avail. Why you are so concerned (and ready to get offended) with others perception of your vehicle is beyond me, drive it and enjoy it.
I hope the targa checks out for you Tom........
