Clubrsx forum seen our thread LOL

[Hugh D]

I like the RSX... I like Acuras for that matter. I looked at the tL and the RSX before I bought the Scion tC.

Either way, I only really enjoy driving the Porsche... nothing like putting the top down on the drive home from work.

[Marc Gelefsky]

Worst thread ever.

[eslai]

ahaha that thread over there is hilarious!!

I love the ricer over there that said "Porsche = No Vtak was up now punks". I haven't seen crap like that since I used to moderate Club3G back in the day.

Hey, I appreciate that there are cool people over at ClubRSX and I sympathize with them for having to put up with the ricers. The demographics of RSX owners are quite different than Boxster owners.

They're right, we're all old, drive cars that are too expensive and slow. Oh, and we're all GAY.

I personally like the RSX a lot. They're not very fast, and I'm no longer interested in wrong-wheel-drive, but for the money I can't think of anything I'd rather own. The interior is top-notch, and they have a lot more class than a comparable new Civic.

As things move downmarket I guess it's inevitable that you're going to have the VTEC POWAH!!!!1 crowd in there.

thanks..seems like most of you guys over here are pretty nice I guess I learned my lesson for the day :dance:

[eslai]

One thing guys that y'all may not have realized. That original "top ten douchebag cars" list that was posted on RSX was not an original piece of writing--it's been around on the internet for a long time.

So in response to the comment about all the cars on that list being more expensive than theirs, well, the RSX guys didn't come up with the list so that's not really the point.

Thanks

I'm a former RSX-S owner by the way. I needed AWD so I now have a WRX. I looked at the 911 Turbo but decided I wanted better mpg

[eslai]

I used to have a clubrsx account but I don't have one anymore--I guess it got purged somewhere along the way.

It's too bad, as I totally want to ask the guy who's calling the Boxster a "poor man's porsche" how he can say that anyone that can afford a $50,000 car is a "poor man". Boxsters aren't cheap by any stretch.

I think most people that could spend $50,000 on a car and not feel like they made a bad financial decision aren't really poor. Hell, with options I can't seen anyone getting into a Boxster S for less than sixty large.

I wish every poor person in the world was able to afford a $50,000 car, wouldn't that be something?

Forget buying the darn thing,it's the cost to maintain it that can scare people away itself. $300 oil changes, $250 for spark plugs and the list goes on.

[unklekraker]

actually, before i bought my other car as a D/D, I was looking at subarus WRX and Mazda to replace my matrix and then being a father of 3 w/ one already has a license and one on it's way of getting one this year, I changed my mind

$300 oil change? I understand most of you prob have the money for this, but take the time to DIY and save the $$$. That's ****************ing ridiculous

[molten slushbox]

yeah cant u just get a pan and a wrench and change ur oil?

Yeah, the problem is that for pre-owned boxster, the All-Important certified service stamps are highly desired for resale value. If you do the servicing yourself, especially during the warranty period, you risk affecting the car's resale value.

That, and the oil alone (nine quarts of Mobil-1 synth) generally costs near $100. Combined with the fact that the *specified* oil service interval is now 20,000 miles and you're not looking at a humongous cash outlay in order to do oil changes.

Most of us do,but it's still pricey either way.

D.I.Y. requires;

- 10 Quarts of Mobil 1 0-40 Oil, $65-70

- Oil Filter,O-ring for Filter and Drain Plug washer, $10-15

- 1/2 to 1 full hour depending on how much crap you like cleaning up around the engine bay while your down there.

I can take the Nissan Quest(van) anywhere and get the oil changed in 10 minutes for $20.

Are you saying you only change your oil every 20k? Does Porsche have some special oil filter that last this long? I know the synthetic oil will last 10-15k but the filter...

Ok, yeah 10qts does make the price pretty much double from what I'm used to but you still save a train-load of cash

[molten slushbox]

not sure how true that filter theory is man

[Grizzly]

I service mine myself, if at all possible. Just because I may have the money doesn't mean I should senselessly toss it out the windows.

I agree with eslai on the service stamps and resale, but I'll likely keep mine until it's worthless, so that's not a consideration for me.
