And you tell them, "It's electric". And they say, "Oooohhhh."

When you sit low enough to look into every BMW, Ford, Chevy, Acura and so on's rims and see they have 2-piston pinch style calipers and yours are 4-piston monoblock. plus, your rotors are at least an inch or two larger.....

Funny you should say that. Every time I cross the border and the guy asks me to pop my trunk, I always pop just the rear and not once has any of them asked me to pop the frunk as well. I still wouldn't try and take advantage of that because with my luck I'd get the one border guard that happens to own a Boxster.

When you stab your keys into the dash on the left side of your steering wheel in your other cars and can't figure why the key doesn't go there.

I know, right? And then you're pawing the air where the shifter is supposed to be until you notice the lever on the column.

You know you drive a Boxster when people ask you what kind of mileage you get and you tell them "60 smiles per gallon"

I know when I am driving my Box in 5 inches of snow I can hear it scraping the bottom of the car. 
To the purists out there I sometimes can't help myself!

You know you drive a Boxster when you spend all your time looking in the rear view mirror trying to see if the spoiler's up, then worry it's broken when you cant see it.

You have to watch for 'road deviations' as you car will drag at the slightest provocation or 5 inch blades of grass! It is one of the only cars that can get hung up on the center of the roadway. That is why God gave us race tracks!

When you're cruising along, thinking you're doing about 40-50, and suddenly realize the speedometer says 74 . . .in a 45 zone

|
We had an oil change guy that said the engine is in the back, and you have to open the rear trunk to see it. I told him he didn't have a clue, then showed him inside of the rear trunk. He never did figure out where the engine was.
My favorite thing is not seeing a car like my car going down the road every fifteen minutes. Other than the way it drives, of course.

When you tell your wife you have been getting quotes on having the Boxster trucked to Calif in order to spend a week driving California Route 1 this summer.
