It looks more like a playpen. All it needs is one of those toddler mobiles hanging from the rear view mirror to complete "The Look".

I think video and multimedia entertainment for the driver has been overlooked for too long. Look how long it took to realize the importance of cup holders. Focusing on driving can be very exhausting.

And hey, great color choice in mats. Very sophisticated.

Hmmm. I hope the rest of my day isn't smarty like the way I'm starting out here.

How nice to know there are people playing videogames when they drive.

What's up with that thing on the shifter? What is that?

It's an ugly shifter they added that is supposed to look like the part from a 6-shooter revolver. You know, when you would load the bullets. It has fake bullets in it to. Totally stupid. I once saw these being used on a "Jessie James" Motorcycle, it looked cool and appropriate on a custom chopper but NO WAY on a Porsche.

OH NOOOO, I Found more pics!!!

Here is another view of what not to do to your Boxster at a car show. It has so much chrome crap on it. This owner should be shot. Chrome spider web graphics on the doors and hood, guess because he thinks his car is a "SPYDER" Boxster. Also chrome windshield wipers, trim in the doors too. Extra fog lights mounted in the center front plate. You be the judge...the really sad thing is all those trophies he has. Just goes to show you there is no such thing as good taste when it comes to a car show.

Doesn't look very comfortable to use to shift when you drive. I was kind of hoping it was some kind of silver Pez dispenser. I wanted to see about getting a Boxster with the "gamer" package, complete with Pez dispenser, so I can nourish myself properly while driving around playing Warcraft.
