Can't say I've ever had anyone tell me mine was a "chick car".

Sure, someone made a comment behind my back that it wasn't a "real Porsche" (said guy probably didn't even own a car, I think). The other weekend as I was coming back from St. Augustine with my SO, I changed lanes (signal used) and the guy behind me then (60-70ft.) high-beamed me, and when he went by (after I had stopped at the light in the turn lane) he leaned out the window and yelled "You're a ****ing idiot!". And I was behaving myself then, too.

I do get compliments on occasion, and have received more of those than negative remarks. A few weeks back a 997 coupe pulled up next to me at the offramp from I-295, and complimented (which was reciprocated). His was a similar grey to mine.

I don't see many women in Boxsters. The only two I recall is one in a yellow 986 near my neighborhood, and one in a silver 987 at my old office building. The only woman I know with a Boxster is my mother, and her's is a manual.

A friend of mine used to rib me about driving a New Beetle convertible (turbo), but when I told him I bought a Boxster he approved.
