to follow oprah's logic, a guy that picks up a girl for a date in a full-size cargo van is ready for marriage??? gimme a break!
a car is a car, don't judge a book by its cover. BTW i have a boxster and a bmw wagon, according to oprah i'm conflicted.

World's Shortest Fairytale:

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, 'Will you marry me?' The girl said,
'NO!' And the guy lived happily ever after and drove a Porsche and went
fishing and hunting and played golf a lot and drank beer and scotch and had
tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he
wanted.

The End

I'm sure Geoffrey Miller, rolls around in his Prius slowing down the fast lane. I hate the stigma surrounding certain cars. No where in that incessant rambling did it say anything about buying a car because you like it or are enthusiasts like so many here. It's always an ulterior motive. :rolleyes:

You remember Oprah... she's the one who gave a way all those Ponitac G6's. Oops sorry, Oprah didn't "give" anything away. GM donated the cars to her show. Why would Oprah gove something away, when she can give away someone else's stuff instead.

I did not buy my car due to a mid-life crisis.... I bought it to compensate for a small "ego".

I resemble that remark. :)

Of course, these TV show therapists can't decide which it is. One day, they are on talking about how women love bad boys. Good boys don't have a chance, until the women decides to settle down!

Translated, until she wants a lifetime meal ticket, she will play with fire. Then she wants warm and cuddily.

Candidly, I never much thought about what women want. It seems whatever it is, I don't have it.

Still, I am pretty happy and my wife seems happy too!

Oh yeah, I drive what I want, because I want to.

:cheers:

I've always noted to my wife of 17 years, and she'll generally(??) agree, that there are a hell of a lot worse things a married guy could do then enjoy a nice car. She does hate when I do track days, but it goes with the territory.

I'm really surprised that Oprah, who crusades against issues like racism, would allow someone to publish such a prejudiced, bigoted opinion of a minority group ( are 986 owners not a minority in this world? We certainly are not a a majority ) in her magazine. What minority group is this author going to attack next?

We have to see a picture of you and your boxster before we can make judgement. :dance:

I would say "Eat me Oprah" but I'm afraid she would take it literally!
