However, this one guy, who is a pickup truck driver said I bought a "Pink chick car." actually my car is Arena Red.
What is wrong with people... is this a jealousy thing?

whenever someone says it's a chick car to me, i say..

"you're right, the chicks love it... " and leave it at that

Only driven 300 miles (no spring this year in Minnesota, raining again today) in the Boxster so far and haven't had much chance to get any negatives. I will say I don't mention it at work. I am a project manager for the Corps of Engineers and all of the conservative engineers would surely brand me as a hedonistic spendthrift. Geez, they gave me crap about my A4. Of course my used Boxster didn’t cost anymore than their fancy SUVs and jumbo pickups they use to haul their mega fancy fishing boats with!

I like my sisters reaction best “Buy it, your kids don’t need to go to college”. Sort of an inside joke between us since I have no kids.

I just finished reading a book with a character who had a Boxster, and it was referred to as his "tangmobile."

anyone that says anything at all, just say "ok, so i'll see you at the next track meet, then?"...Shuts up the ricers pretty quick.

I've never had much problem with the "girl car" thing but my girlfriend says I drive the devils car since its all red and black. I like it.

Using the term "Chixster"or "Pink chick car" reflects the intelligence of the individual saying that. Just smile They're just insecure in their own skin.
