I was sitting in down town Port Jefferson, Ny on a bench eating my ice cream when a younger couple walked up to my car and just stopped and starting pointing at things on and in the car. I was sitting close enough to hear them talk. The guy "man, this is my dream car" The girl "drueling" Oh and while I am driving, I would have to say it is not the girls that stare as much as the guys. Kinda sux. LOL All the other boxster owners always ask what kind mine is or how come theres' does not look like that. LOL Factory aero kit and some wheels and spring and upgraded lights does the trick, the headers and exhaust note does not hurt either.

Well, just after I had gotten a Porsche, one of the more bizarre comments I heard was from no other than my own dad; "Aha, so you finally got that Nazi-go-cart you always wanted." (his so-called humor should be seen in the light of that he went to school and got his degree in Hitler's birth country, and he also experienced the 2nd w-war first hand)

I've been surprised at how many people ask me what kind of car mine is. I also had a redneck approach me from the back of the car and say "That's a nice car. Boxster... who makes that? Dodge?" I thought that was kinda funny.

I've had a funny thing ask when my aunt seen my car the 2nd time, The first time she knew it was a Porsche right away... The second time she seen it, The Porsche emblem was replaced with a RUF emblem and she said oh did you trade your porsche for that Toyota?!!?! Funny how people many people dont know what a porsche is unless they see the hood emblem.

I was sitting in mine, top down, at the marina last summer. A guy walked by, stopped and turned, and asked me "Is that a Ferrari?" Obviously not a car guy.

i had a guy come into the diner I was in and say "who left the lights on their Toyota spyder?"

I've only had mine for around a month, but I'm surprised by how many people think the car is brand new. I almost feel guilty, because I'm generally very modest and would never spend 40-50k on a car. I tell them it was either this or a brand new Civic!

That's one of the great things about the Boxster, it still looks very similar to the new models and has a timeless design.

This is beginning to sound like elitist posts... I thought LAMBO had bigger egos but do continue because I find this amusing.

How so? Relating funny comments we've heard?

Aren't you being a bit elitist by thinking you're somehow superior to us because you find this "amusing"?

I was at the famous weekly Sunday Long Island CapTree car guys meet-up. It was a beautiful day and there were about 500 cars there of every kind including: Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Lotus, Astin Martin, Porsches of every year, Corvettes and classic muscle cars. My Boxster S was parked among these magnificent cars and I was feeling very humble until a young kid about 10 years old kept walking around my car looking at it and then said to me "Mr you have a really nice car". I said thank you, it's not as nice as most of the cars here but thanks. Made me feel really great.
