He's the one who (afaik) started the whole "it's the little sister of the sports car you really wanted but couldn't afford".

I keep wanting to tell him to bring it out to the track and we'll see.... except I hear he's a pretty good driver, too. Haha

I think comments like his and Jeremy Clarkson's have served to accelerate the depreciation of the boxster. Ther boxster doesn't suit the poseur scene very well, because they have to deal with comments like that from all their poseur buddies.

Ah, thanks.
I, for one, am glad they are undervalued. It made mine easier to buy. I just wish the parts were equally undervalued! Now, my opinion may change if I decide to sell it, but I don't see that happening anytime soon!

No it does not.
How could it?
For many of us (especially non-Ferrari owners ) we're a captive audience.
