thinking about selling my 03 S ?

Doesn't matter how fast it is - it's still just a ricer. The embarrassment is being seen driving one. Nothing quite says "wannabe" like one of those crap cans.

+1 to that!

Good thread, enjoyed this one. I'm like...what is an Evo (showing my age I guess) so I looked it up...oh I said one of those twangers the young men drive through my neighborhood while they drool over my porsche. Really not picking on the car, it sounds like fun if you want to track or just like raw a-s power. Again these are two totally different cars, and this stuff about being faster, heck if I drive my 2000 Boxster 'S' anywhere near the RPM I'm being told to, well I can't get out of 3rd gear without the cops chasing me. Me personally I couldn't sleep at night if I put $40k into an Evo, but for you it sounds like something you would really like...you should go for it, if your 03 'S' is nice I'm sure there are plently on this forum that would help you out . Or if you still love your Boxster get things fixed, save a TON of money and have some peice of mind.

Heck I got my Boxster in early Nov, before I got it I couldn't wait to drive my 09 E350 each day, now I'm thinking of selling it...I always say wait two weeks and see how you feel. My Benz is for driving and the Boxster is for the joy of working on it, though it really doesn't need a thing done, it's just fun and easy.

Post some pics so us plastic window guys can drool over your glass window.

That's funny, I've heard the same said about Boxster drivers.

To each his own. A practical, well performing sedan that you can take to the track on the weekends and then use everyday isn't for everyone I guess.

i want to agree with what some have already said.

evo, who? i too had to look it up.

if you want a fast car and don't care about what you drive, then why not just buy a rice rocket..aka (civic with mod engine)

but as far as head turners...i can guarantee that most of the people out there will be wow'ed by you driving a porsche and won't car a rat's bottom that you drive a "fast" mitsu.

that's my opinion. never regretted getting my boxster and love it.

I hate to rain on your parade, but most people don't think "Wow, that's a cool car" they think "yup there goes another rich prick in his Porsche." So you bought the car to turn heads and impress people? I'm sorry.

Well, at least you're honest about it. Badge snobbery is out of control in this thread. I'm convinced if Porsche decided to put a crest on a turd somebody would buy it.

Crack me up...too funny...and all along I thought they were thinking there goes that old guy in mid life crisis in his old car. Good one made me laugh!
