Remember, entry level porsche designed to be used as a daily driver. I'm not knocking the boxster in any way, just the idea of having a beater. :chicken:
I look at cars like tools - different tools for different tasks. The Boxster S is a great daily driver, but occasionally I need to tow the boat (96 Bronco) or play in the rocks (94 Jeep - well, some parts are still 94 anyway). Different tasks - different tools.

Of course, when I'm teaching a class for the Forest Service, I've been known to suffer through taking the Boxster up Hwy 330...
