The Boxster gets no respect!

Here is what a guy at work had to say when another guy was thinking about buying a Boxster:

Not a real Porsche
Never buy an "entry" level car - they are sure to have poor quality and lack performance
The engine needs to be dropped (removed) to perform most maintenance and repairs
Mid-engine cars overheat - no way to properly cool a car with the engine buried in the center of the car
Costs nearly as much as a 911 - so who wouldn't just buy a 911?
Boxster engines blow up

This is the kind of crap that gets told from person to person. Amazing.
