Personally I am very happy that Porsche does not offer a 4 cylinder Porsche Boxster. I bought my Porsche Boxster for many reasons: performance, style, comfort and also for the name.

Don't get me wrong I am not an "Image Monger". An "Image Monger" buys the car for other people to see them in it. I bought the car for myself.

Let me explain. When I bought my Porsche part of it was a way of rewarding myself for the hard work that I have done so far in my life. It was my way of saying, "Yes, I am on my way." I'm sorry, but I just didn't get that feeling when I was in a Honda S2000, which can also boast great technological achievements and performance.

So forgive me if I don't want to see everyone driving a Porsche. I want to feel like the work that I have done in my life is for something and as a car guy the best way for me to do it is with a car that puts a smile on my face 6 feet wide.

Maybe there's a little bit of an "Elitist" attitude there, but I'm really not an elitist. I do believe that people who work hard and have made sacrifices in appropriate areas should be able reap the rewards of that work and those sacrifices. I honestly feel for those that have made those sacrifices and have put in the work time and do not get their rewards. Because of those people I consider myself and everyone else on this forum driving a Porsche fortunate.
