"poor man's" Porsche...a RANT.

[M31]

I've have had only one negative comment in the 5 years since I got mine. The guy said he wouldn't waste his money on a Boxster when a 911 was superior. I agreed that the 911 is the pinnacle of German engineering and asked him what year his 911 is and he told me he didn't own one. I asked him what car he drove and he told me a Dodge Caravan so I took the high road by saying the Caravan was the pinnacle of American engineering and that they were definitely chick bait with the back seat for groceries and stuff. He had been giving me advice on how to drive my 986 up to that point but strangely clammed up after that.

The whole "Poor Man's Porsche" business is funny. Ever since the 918 Spyder came out, 99.9% of all Porsche owners have been relegated to the "Poor" category. Given that most of us don't know a 918 owner, who cares what they think?

This made me chuckle...and pretty on point with pinnacle of American engineering.
