Car enthusiasts rarely hold back their opinions. Here are a few direct quotes about the Boxster said to my face;

"Oh, that's a girls car"
"A Boxster? You should have bought a 911"
"An overpriced Miata"
"He races a Boxster" to a group of 911 racers
"I will never race another hair dressers car" said by another Boxster racer

But as I said, the comments about the 996 were even worse;

"You bought a 996? Are you fudking crazy?"
"The 996 is a complete piece of crap. Oh, is that the car you just bought? ... Sorry dude."
"The 996 is what ruined Porsche"
"You need to sell the 996 and either get a 997 or an air cooled 911."
