What's the dumbest Boxster question ?
Today a lady at the mall looked down her nose at my car and asked "is it safe?"
I said " Sure, it was designed by Doc. Brown" ( Back to the future )
She seemed really impressed.

My dad is convinced my Boxster is a death trap.

No fun car is "safe" in a world full of gigantic SUVs with every one of their drivers on cell phones.

Any means of transportation is only as safe as the driver. Being knowledgeable about the vehicle, having common sense and a safety driven mindset will get you far. While riding motorcycles I have had close calls induced by other drivers, and having the outlook to foresee and anticipate their behavior saved me.

Yep, I had that one too, Girlfriends Brother asked and as I listened with skepticism to his credentials....he said he drove a Porsche in the 70's.
Of course the answer was NO!!!
I told him I'd rather he take a car dealers Porsche for a ride if he really wants to drive one.

I would have responded, "Sure, my Box always wears a condom."

I can't fault people for this one too much, though I have a hard time hiding my smile when asked, especially because it usually happens due to both trunks being open and that leads to the  looks and question.
I think my dumbest question has been "How come it doesn't sound like a Subaru?"  
Because this is what a boxer engine is SUPPOSED to sound like.

The dumbest question about a Porsche is anything to do with cup holders.
