Did Mr. Gay put a lipstick filter on the lens to get that "pink" effect on the Guards Red car?
Looks to me he worked hard to make it "cute."
I'll strap him in the passenger seat of my '06 S and have him crying like a little girl.

Anyone making the cute, or any other derogatory comments about Boxsters simply have no idea what they are or why the extreme low polar moment chassis is so far superior to any other production sports car. Maybe the two most under-rated sports cars of all time are the 914/6 and the Boxster.

I think my A-hole detector just went off. A Mustang Sally calling your car not 'real', again consider the source. (with apologies to Baby Aikido).

Whoa, hey guys, didn't mean to rile everyone up. I think the reviewer meant it as a positive when he called the boxster cute. I was simply playing up the irony that "cute" sounds more like an insult to me
But if you watch the video, you'll see nothing is insulting to the boxster. In fact the review is overwhelmingly positive (as all boxster reviews tend to be).

Had some guy in a Vette a couple of months back pull beside me at a light. He had his hair combed over the bald head and his hotter than he deserved girlfriend in the car.
His windows were down as was my top. He looked over and said "nice girls car".
Only thing I could think to say was "Yeah, I was going to buy a Vette but they said my d*** was too long"
He was not happy but his girlfriend sure thought it was funny!

Can I steal this quote? It's brilliant! Living outside of town in Austin, TX, practically in the country, sport cars are a rarity and most of what you'll find are Vettes, Trans Ams and Camaros (if you can really count the latter two as sport cars). I respect the vette for it's performance but I'll never forget my brother referring to it as the "Rich Man's Camaro". It does have a bit of that cheapo Pontiac styling to it that screams "redneck at the wheel". Where I live though it's usually the guys in the F150s with a lift kit that want to race or give me ********************. But for every negative reaction I get in regards to my Boxster I get 20 more saying "nice car!" or "sweet ride!".

How is making fun of cars like Vettes, ZX350s, S2000s and the like any different than folks calling our cars, GIRL CARS?
They make many sports cars precisely because we have many different tastes.
These threads always make me wonder!
I can appreciate what these other cars offer without having to become defensive about what I drive.
Hey, no one's paying my bills for me so their opinion about what I drive is not important, no?

^ I agree. But I think there is a difference between initiating the negative comments (bad), and retaliating to a negative comment with a spot on remark that leaves the jerk bad mouthing your car speechless (good).

I don't have any issue with anyone bad mouthing my car. I am secure enough to understand that I like my car and the other person doesn't. Any comment he makes is about his own insecutity, not my car.
How can that upset. me I don't even know this guy? How could his opinion have any weight with me?
