You folks drive with the top down even when the temperature is -90 Celtigrade, or whatever way you measure temperature in your country.

Full disclosure: I once owned a toque and I know how to use it. Truth be told, if that freakish dried-up Halloween pumpkin "businessman" manages to get elected, my wife Cher and I will be applying for citizenship to your wonderful country, so I might need a reference.

I've owned a convertible in Canada, thought sun roofs are more convenient.

What makes you think that all the folks with US addresses on this forum are US born Americans? ;)

The war of 1812 was won by the British/Canadians and the Americans could only repel them from a few locations, New York, Baltimore and New Orleans.

We are still in the rest of the US quietly enjoying milder climates, and inviting more of us CDN's down during the cold time of year "SnowBirds" :D

Why do you think the US has Hockey teams in the southern states? :p

I’m a tall thin 70 year old beauty with a short fat bald husband. I’ve had a Miata for the past 18 years and motorcycles before that. So I figured it was time for me to buy a sedan and settle down, what I didn’t figure on was that while in search of a sedan my coming across a Boxster and falling in love. A Porsche of all things, people around here drive pickup trucks, LoL. I guess that the sedan will have to wait a few more years.

63, retired Industrial Arts Teacher. Owned my 03 S since 05 and have been interested in a Porsche ever since my Dads friend would leave his red 58 Speedster at our house during business trips. I would play in it going through the gears pretending to drive. What a great car, glad I didn't hurt it.

The 986 is my Third Porsche, recently it replaced an '81 91 SC, which replaced an '86 944 NA.

Fun fact - both the Boxster and the Miata are black, has hardtops and tan interiors! My oldest son is the one using the Miata.

Age, car and career
 
Hello. I am 64 years old. I run 6 miles per day every day and I feel great. I've owned 4 356s and now own my 02 Triple Black Boxster - which is the finest car I have ever owned. I spent most of my career in the auto industry, but I am also an attorney. This is such a great forum. Thanks to you all.

My mother was a fifteen year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon. Luge lessons. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum. It's breathtaking. I suggest you try it.

At the age of 58, I bought my first Boxster. And, well, here I am.

You are welcome, citizen.
