Chicks Car?

[jwade]

A chick's car....It's really for anyone....

A chick magnet....freaking absolutely! Love it as a typical gas station fill up usually ends up in some sort of conversation...

Was down at my local building and codes department the other day and one of the receptionists went crazy...saw the car sitting outside top down and shouted out "WHO HAS THE PORSCHE OUT THERE!!" Me being my humble self I raised my hand and she said "what do you do and are you married?"

Gotta love that man!!!

I traded my Boxster in last October on a 911 C2 but did it mainly to get in the 300hp range. I gotta say I miss my Boxster in a lot of ways. If anyone ever bashes on the Boxster and they've never driven a Porsche it's simply jealousy. If it's a 911 owner bashing on it they either have never driven one or they're just acting superior. Love my 911 but I also loved my Boxster. It's a great car. Just don't get a pink one. :dance:

What kills me are Cayman owners bashing on the Boxster when the Cayman is essentially a hard top Boxster with a little more hp. I think this whole "chicks car" thing is a general blanket statement against 2 seater convertibles. Boxster, Miata, MR2 Spyder, Solstice, Saturn Sky, S2000, what have you. The first day I had my 02 Carrera Cabrio some random guy mistook my car for a Boxster and called me a f*ggot from across the street. Then he drove away in his little 30 yr old four cylinder rusted out beater pickup. Plain jealousy.

If you get a Porsche be prepared to be called one derogatory name or another. It comes with the car. I'm fine with that. :dance:

I have a Cayman and I don't bash Boxsters, and I agree, that is indeed stupid. So, you mean my Cayman might have a couple of HP more than your Boxster? Wow, I didn't even know that -- or care. However, I also hear Boxster owners bash Cayman owners, as in, "What's wrong with you, why did you pay extra and not get a convertible?" Equally stupid reasoning: I didn't pay extra, I couldn't care less about the convertible, and I like the styling a smidgen better -- but so what? To each his own.

Can a Boxster S owner bashing the base Boxster owner? Because I need to bash someone so I can feel more superior.

Pontiac Solstice owners because they deserve it.

Yes, it is a chick's car in image at least. I'm more concerned with how a car drives than the image, though. That's why I own one.

Maybe we can establish a formal pecking order here.

I think a lot of the perceptions about the Boxster came from the original stats. Fast forward to the current numbers and I doubt it would be labeled as a chicks car as quickly.
