Oh... the emotions

[concept84]

Probably a jealousy thing.

I was out last night with a bunch of my buddies trying to plan out some track days, and my friend with a Cooper S asked me if I thought the Boxster would do well on the track, considering as he put it, a "Porsche just for cruising". Some people just don't realize its potential and just assume since it isn't a 911 its not a real Porsche.

It was just funny to hear that out of a Cooper S driver.

I get alot of weird comments all the time.

I just normally agree with them and move on.

Seriously I could care less what people think or say about my car. The thrill I get from driving it is all mine. I went for a long drive just this afternoon and the thrill is real. I would rather have a boxster than a 911. But that's just me. Enjoy your car !

It continues to amaze me that folks are upset about other folk's opinion about their car.

Go figure.

I'm with you Brucelee. I never told anyone when I bought either of my Porsche's. I park in the back of the parking lot to prevent door dings, so no one I work with knows what I drive. When we start talking gas prices (inevitable conversation these days), I just say that my VW Touareg gets 13 mpg and leave it at that.

I do not have my P for anyone but myself. Yeah, it gets comments, both positive and negative, but neither change the way I feel on the open road.

I don't know were you got that I was upset? I just really don't understand the mentality. I am just a bit amazed at the psychology of other being hateful about my car. I posted here wondering if you guys had similar experiences.

I would say the jealous mentality is normal. Most people are jealous and ignorant, because they fail to realize that I probably paid less for my Boxster than they did for their truck. Look up the I hate haters thread.

(I can't believe I misspelled jealous )

Your absolutely right.

That "Porsche is for cruising" guy is really funny. I mean seriously, has there even been a company more about win on Sunday, sell on Monday?
