I wash my own car most of the time but since I only have an apartment here in Albany, I don't have the resources.

It was a drive-through one.

It's never happened to me before. I mean, I guess I'm the only guy driving around a sports car...

Another concern with automatic washes is the side vents, you have to be wary of water getting into the intake. Also true even when you manually wash it.

Perhaps the carwash guy was referring to the 2.7 engine...

Don't take this the wrong way, but you seem to post a lot of threads that discuss what other people say about your car. You don't really care what they think, do you? Or is it really making you insecure?

If so, you've definitely bought the wrong car. A Magnum on 20" dubs would get you more positive attention and comments about your humongous phallus than a Boxster. The people that are making comments are not the type that would appreciate your "baby Porsche".

Likewise, I don't think: "I mean, I guess I'm the only guy driving around a sports car..."

Rather, people that own the sports cars either do them themselves or pony up the $150+ to have it professionally detailed.

What..?

The thread is about the car wash not being able to accommodate my car. Everything else you assumed is just that; an assumption. I tried to make it into a little story... that's all.

I have a home in Westchester county, NY but I am there only 3 days a week. The rest of the time I am in Albany at an apartment and the other day I would say I am busy driving (11,800 miles on her already...)

Too small? That definetely can't be the reason unless the guy knew something was wrong with his car wash and smallER cars were having trouble in it.

The Boxster is small, but it's not freaking CRAZY small or something.

Now, I think the guy maybe didn't want the liability of a Porsche in his car wash.

OR, maybe he was messing with you and referring to the size of your penis because of the car you drive. After all, he did say "too small!" not... "your car is too small!"

My apologies if I read too much into it. I'm just saying that this isn't the first thread I've read from you that commented about what someone said about your car. It made you sound like you were fishing for reassurances. My bad if that is not the case.
