Yes, I'm living in Dubai. Here Porsches are really common, in fact the Porsche dealer here has the largest sales outside the US! Here seeing a Boxster (or any other Porsche apart from GT3s) is not really awe-inspiring (except of course to the owner!!) You don't get noticed as much as if you have an Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, etc.
I love that, as I bought the car not so much to pose in but because according to me it is the best sports convertible I had driven this side of a 911. (And then if you buy a 911, why ruin its dynamics by getting a convertible one?!) Needless to say I am LOVING driving it here on these expansive and smooth roads. The Porsche Club UAE organises track days in the winter (when the weather is cooler), and it is for these that I was asking about the track tyres...
I got myself a custom cat-back muffler job, done under the auspices of a German company called Fox Auspuff (
