Sounds like you need new friends.

You have to be very careful about generalizations. Do more men than women drive Porsches? I think so, judging from the chatgroups. That excludes the Cayenne, of course. Women probably own the majority of SUVs and usually drive automatics. Never mind my wife hates SUVs and drives a stick. So there you go with generalizations.
I know a Boxster owner whose wife and himself both race their Boxster and their two 914s. So there you go with generalizations.

"Do more men than women drive Porsches? I think so, judging from the chatgroups."

Likewise, do more men than women go to chat rooms?

True, but I find it to intimidate women.
I would assume you've been to Campo Alegre.
Well known in the caribbean!

No I have never been to Campo Alegre. It was just a joke. Although I know people who have worked there.

Been Boxstering for 8 years in Silicon Valley, where Boxstirs are a dime a dozen.

Met women owner owners over the years. With one exception all the women owners I met had manual transmissions. Subject to that one exception, all tiptronic owners I have met were guys.

I have a Barbie Boxster. Manual transmission of course.

Tool Pants, where did you get that "Barbie" Boxster? My two year old son would just die to have one (after I de-ambered it). One of his first words was Porsche which he pronounces like pwoorsha (he cannot say without a huge grin). I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Barbie had a Boxster in 1998, from Mattel. It is guards red, not pink.

This product has been discontinued. Bought mine in 1999 from ebay. The doll is from a friend that has a daughter.
