Don't let other people affect your mood....

With Porsche, it's the 911 folks.

With Ducati, it's the Superbike folks

With Ferrari, it's the V12 folks.

With Corvette, it's the Z06 or ZR1 folks.

Don't worry about what anybody else thinks. They are morons.

Enjoy your wonderful machine.

How many mid-engined, two seat, convertible sports cars have ever been built? And how many of them can we actually afford?

You have a "proper" sports car, with TWO trunks.

Think about this, if you leave out the Carrera GT and the 918 Spyder, the Boxster is the LAST sports car Porsche has ever designed from scratch. And it's the car that saved the company.

They have not designed any new sports cars since the Boxster. The Cayman was just a hard top evolution of the Boxster. And the 986 was a "PURE" sports, designed by Porsche when their back was against the wall and they needed a home run to save the company. It was the very best they could do at the time. And they nailed it.

Next time some Gucci wearing car snob talks trash about your "...Porsche with panties on it" as they said on the "The Sopranos", just smile and say, "Yeah you're right, I guess that's why Porsche made the new RSR mid-engined, just like my Boxster, to try to win LeMans."

And chuckle as you drive away.
