I don't get weird comments. Stereotyped, I assume that's pretty common.

That S2000 post you linked to was entertaining, sorta. I liked this quote:

(It's ok, the post was from 2001)

I sometimes refer to it as "the Convertible" when I'm around people I don't know. I’ve had to defend my choice to drive a Boxster a few times (in laws). I’ve found the most successful argument in my case is

“I could have bought a brand new Ford 500 or Chevy Impala with a few options. Instead I choose to buy a slightly used Porsche convertible for the same price.”

Of course this only works if you bought a used Boxster. If you bought a new one, you should be able to write off the depreciation as a charitable donation to the next owner.

If the original owner of my car is reading this, Thank You!
