I'd always wished I could own one, recently realized I could.
Last week, bought my '03 Boxster Base.

So, bucket list, or diehard?

For me, a two-seat roadster was something I'd always wanted. I've owned a few lesser models over the years, the most notable of which was a Miata, (meh...), but none of them were what I'd consider a smile-provoking sports car. When I found my Boxster, it spoke to me, and reeled me in like a fish on a line. There has been no looking back. I have a relationship with this car somewhere well past "like" and just short of "needing therapy."

As to the Porsche brand, while I like the idea of them, and appreciate their looks, I'm not in a mad rush to own more of them. Maybe someday, but for now, this one is just fine, thanks.

I also own a BMW 335 and a Ford SUV as daily drivers, so the Porsche gets the attention it deserves when I have time to really appreciate every inch of its remarkable frame.

So the poll is limited. I did my best.

Dave

Bucket list for now...
If you start wearing Porsche apparel you may be on the die hard team...

My Porsche polo shirt has been worn once in 14 years. If you feel uncomfortable wearing it in public you may not be a die hard. Also if you have never posed with or in the car on social media...

I bought a Porsche hat right away. My BMW hat felt wrong in the Boxster.
