"I agree -- the point is as pointless as commenting on this thread."
I disagree -- commenting on this thread could serve to build better relationships between the genders and dispel myths surrounding women as being:
(1) Incapable of driving stick
(2) Poor drivers
Perhaps, people make these threads/polls to dispel myths that the Boxster is a "woman's car" and settle personal feelings about not being able to afford an 911?   
Just to clarify: I'm rolling my eyes at the thought of this post, winking suggesting that I'm being jest-ful and smiling and the full display of my witty-ness.

Yes, I agree, (but only because my gf force me to).

Not to trump Grizz or unkle, but my Boxster was a gift to me from my wife -- for our first anniversary. She gave me the manual (paper-- keeping with traditions) and told me to go pick out options. Hmmm... maybe THAT is why I have a better appreciation of wives/g/fs...

Thanks unkle -- she's pretty good. She tells me if I "want" kids we could upgrade to a 911, "because it has a backseat", although if we watch Casino Royale a few more times I think I can talk her into an Aston (some of them also have backseats).

Okay, not to trump you either (since it was your anniversary), but I can tell this story again, my very decisive GF actually bought me my Boxster (from some lady in Beverly Hills) and then drove it up to Bay Area & delivered it at my doorsteps -- she just knew that I wanted it, no question asked.
I'm sure there are some clauses involved, but who cares... she's a hottie.

attitude adjustable?
My wife likes my Boxster because its a convertible, noticed right away how much more stable it is than the Miata I had, and being a capable person generally can deal with a gear shift. But she cares nothing for speed, straight or curved. Really does not see the point, considers it man-child weirdness, a waste of money.
Has anyone gotten a woman with this attitude to change, and appreciate the car by, for instance, taking her to an AutoCross?
