Boxsters a "chick" car?? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Have your friends follow (as that's all they can do) you through the mountains and they will learn what kind of car the Boxster is.

We take mountain runs and the Ferraris, BMWs, Vettes, etc. can't keep up with the Boxsters. 911s do much better, but still can't hold the corners as well. Other Porsches are the only ones that can keep up.

Hi,

Absolutely the Black Ninja Stupidest post I have seen on this forum. Can't believe I have even contributed to it...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

It can be ended by saying, "Well if its a girl car then why arent you driving one?". Most people dont respect cars and run off stupidy rather then knowledge.

Yeah, my wife loves the Boxster. She thinks it looks better than the 911. My wife is gorgeous. Maybe they meant "chick magnet" car rather than just "chick" car.

Actually our Boxster is really my wifes car

She just lets me drive it on occasion

(and of course, do all the required wrenching.......)

I agree, this is one of the lamer threads but hey, we all need a little diversion on occasion.

MJW has the best signature. Cogito Ergo Zoom! Why can't I think of stuff like that.

Man, you latin guys are cool....

I don't have to be defensive about contributing to this thread, cause I am pretty lame, so here's how to spot a chick car;

stand outside a strip club during a shift change and watch the girls drive in.... lol

A waste of expensive machinery, but man they do look good together.

No way a chick car. I think that there are chick cars out there but this isn't one. Most of the people I see driving them are men. My wife has a RX330 and I definitely think that it is a chick car...

Let's see them call this a chicks car, it is after all the claimed heitage of our cars.

Actually I can't take credit for the originality, I stole it from the old Car and Driver column written by David E. Davis.

The VW Cabriolet - now THAT'S a chick car! And I mean that in the nicest way. When I was younger it seemed that every white VW Cab had the cutest girls. I would also consider the new VW Bug to be a chick car (any car that comes with a flower holder deserves that tag). But for some reason I consider the older Bugs to be "guy" cars - maybe because someone always seemed to be wrenching on one...

Thanks for all the new input on this question.

The only thing I have to add is a question.

Where does Wild1-Poet2 find deserted mountain roads in the Boston Area??

wild1poet2 · 01-08-2006, 11:18 AM

wow, I guess CA is the center of the world. lol Ever hear of the White Mountains or the Smokies?? Mt. Washington is highest mountain east of the Mississippi. We actually ski out east. Imagine. We rock climb and ice climb too. Our surfing isn't to brag about but we got hard core guys who go out year round in their dry suits. We also got the Berkshires and the Green Mountains. These are glacial mountains and are actually older and thus craggier than the Rockies.

come on out.... I'll give you the tour.

I get a lot of crap from my friends about having the Barbie Porsche. Thing is, most of them acknowledge that it's a great car, but they like to rib me about it.

Those that really do think the car is for girls, generally can't afford anything over $30,000. They're the types that are thinking "for less money you could have purchased a faster car."

I'll give them a few years to "get it."

Actually rural NE has a far superior set of roads for running the Boxster hard, than we do here in most of CA.

Having said that, I remember those roads as a bit beat up due to the harsh winters. Hence, you could lose your Box in some of those potholes.

Go Pats!

BruceLee, is The Dragon!

The roads out here are rough on a sport suspension. Up north in NH the main roads are better because they lay down a deeper base. You're right, its the frost heaves from the freeze, thaw, re-freeze cycles. It draws up rocks and creates mini sink holes.

Perhaps worse, is the sand, salt and calcium chloride they put down on the roads to melt the ice. It mixes to a corrosive sludge that it'll eat and pit chrome and alloys.

Go Pats Dynasty!!
