jealous people, wtf? crawl into your hole and die - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Yep the Boxster has an odd spot in society. There are 2 different mind sets.

1. you the Porsche owner are a snob and you and your car should be treated poorly for it. Oh and you make way too much money.

Or

2. The 911 and other sports car people think.... "Oh it is a Porsche with panties or oh it is only a Boxster"...

Not many of us consider it to be a nice fun sporty car that has good not great performance. Sure there are other cars that sell for less money that maybe faster in a straight line and can be modded for less to be faster around a track. My point here is that it is just a car and that is how I look at it, it is not a status symbol. Not many cars do everything as well out of the box as well as the Boxster.

Sory about your bad day

Ever since I got the Boxster, I've been experiencing quite a bit of road-rage -- cut-off on the freeway, verbal abuse -- called a rich spoiled brat and a ************************ (the latter even on this forum), bumped into a couple of times -- http://986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10463 , etc, etc. -- all this to a point that I sometimes wish I was driving a regular dud (or only used my Ducati).

Sounds like a bunch of kids. Forget about it but park somewhere else.

Peer, a boxster and a ducati? you are a spoiled brat! Just Kidding. DJOMLAS, that is messed up. Park your car there again, hide in the bushes with a stun gun, and zap them when they try this again!!

In defense of this forum, if the name calling you speak of is from the threat I think you are referring to, you were not called names because you have a Boxster. I'll leave it at that.

Not ot turn this thread political, but personally, I lay a lot of this very bad behavior at the foot of our elected pols. Many of these guys do nothing but play on class and racial stereotypes and warfare.

"Vote for me because the other guy is ........ and you need me to look out for your interest.

Liberals and conservatives, blue and red states, black and white, rich and poor, it is simply fodder for the election machine.

Notice I don't call these guys leaders because in my view, they are not. True leaders seek to unite, not divide.

Sorry but I actually think it is relevent here. Some guy walks by, sees the "rich man's Porsche" and acts on petty instincts instead of what he knows to be the right thing to do, which is to walk on by.

Shame on him and the a..-clown that is on the news spouting his class warfare nonsense.

In the defense of reason, I believe anyone who has to resort to name calling in lieu of facts isn't better than the called name. I'll leave it at that.

Let's not re-open old wounds.

That is not why we are here.

Thanks
