Boxster Killer?

[ranbar2]

I never set out to buy a porsche. I just wanted a nice drop-top. I looked at the american cars and none of them floated my boat. Miata felt too much like a sardine can, especially since I am 6'1". The Audi looked like someone had slightly squashed a VW beetle, plus I was not enamoured with the interior. I just plain didn't like the styling of either the Z3, Z4 or S2000. The MR2 was tiny and had no storage space (my girlfriend asked the salesman where she would put her bag if we went on a weekend road trip; he said to remove the spare). But when I saw the boxster I fell in love. Beautiful and distinctive styling, great performance, auto drop top, comfy, if sparse, interior, TWO trunks. And, surprisingly, it was within my budget, albeit for a used 2000S. It had nothng to do with the name of the car or the image I was trying to project. It had everything to do with the car itself. It is now my daily driver. Some might call me a "poser" because I don't track or ac the car (although one of these days I am going to do a de at sebring). But I don't care what they think because I bought this car for ME.

I don't get all these "rules" that guys have on these cars, ie being a poser.

If I want to track my car, fine. If not, fine. I bought the car, not YOU (them). If YOU want to take your car to the track, fine, I am fine with that too!

When I am driving a 911 Turbo, it doesn't mean ANYTHING about me, just that I am having fun!

Rich,

I never understood the "poser" argument either. It's as if they are saying that some people are less deserving of the car than others, or that they don't appreciate the car. Well, everyone appreciates their car for their own personal reasons. I mean, do we call people "posers" for buying Air Jordans even though they couldn't sink a basket if their life depended on it? Maybe they bought the shoes because they were comfortable. Why is it so different with a porsche?
