I saw that Minneapolis was rated the friendliest city to drive in. Generally, I would agree that the drivers here are very courteous and aren't particularly aggressive. I'm not sure how they actually rated 'friendliest' driving but I guess that's a compliment.

Minneapolis was also rated the second best place to live a couple of weeks ago. Given that weather was taken into account that's a pretty big compliment. Personally, if I didn't have family here it wouldn't be my first choice but it's nice.

My view......keep it in the garage and use it for special occasions...look forward to driving it, when its raining go into the garage and have a beer, maybe even polish an alloy!
I bought my Boxster for the same reasons, I dont want to rack the miles up, not because of depreciation, just want to keep it A1.

I had the same heated discussion with my wife......and ended up buying her a BMW as a compromise!!!

Shes happy ,I'm happy......taxman very happy!!

In my earlier post I suggested that drburton was on "the jerk side of things". That is a ltttle short of hanging the tag around his neck. If you read beyoud that you see that I qualified my impression to what was in the post. If that is insufficient, then I extend an appology to those who thought I was a little hard on the subject. Even good people can be misinterpureted if they only provide a smattering of data.

The information provided after that does shed a little more light on the subject, but his original post was about jealousy, not concern about room for the kids or the relative safety of the two vehicles.

I have been a member of this forum since we bought the Boxster, the fact that I don't often post is another matter. Every so often I get that drip that tops my bucket and I decide to say something about it, other wise I get lots of information (some times I offer information) and intertainment from the various forums I go to.

Drive 'em, park 'em, polish 'em, admire 'em, save 'em for another day. It is all part of being an enthusiast.
