Well, wait till the Boxster's 50 years old. Probably get the same response about it!

I get a lot more attention (meaning nearly 100 % of people checking it out, and many, many conversations) about my '68 Cadillac convertible. Not so much the Boxster. While far from ubiquitous, it is a very common car in most big cities, I would think.

I did have a funny incident a few years back in a small, north Georgia mountain town while getting gas (think Deliverance ) I paid and the lady said, "That's a purdy Porsche." I thanked her and said, "It's been a lot of fun." My brother, who was driving his 2002 Carrera Cab with me was next in line. She looked out the front door at his car. "And yores is purdy too. Is that the new Camaro?"

I get looks all the time.

Lots of little kids staring and pointing.

I also get looks from adults and teens.

Last week, this guy nearly stopped his Lexus SC430(our competitor) in the middle of the road to watch me drive passed him. He made me laugh. I saw him eyeing my car in his mirror and out his window.

I also get teens looking and pointing from their Scion's when I drive by.

I do get the occasional look and compliment on the car. The car is in great shape and is red so I guess that tends to attract.

In three years I've not been pulled over pull in the boxster, but I've been pulled over twice in my pickup BS no tickets. So the ploilce in Pa seem to leave us alone. I get allot of doubletakes. Hondas with big mufflers WRX s and Eclipse seem to all think they are your match. F250 with huge tires allway want to screw with you? haven't quite figured that out yet. but it ammusing.

F250 with huge tires ? Sounds like "Good old Boys" from NC. Don't mess with them. They hate Porsches and drink Moonshine.

I did get one funny comment not too long ago from a little girl down the street. She's maybe 5 or 6 years old and was playing with her friends in her front yard. When I stopped at the stop sign (they live on the corner), she waved and then yelled "your sports car sure is shiny".

Her referring to it specifically as a sports car struck me as a funny comment coming from such a small girl. I told her thanks.
