Of course California Boxsters have more automatics, don't a lot of women and teenagers drive them out there?
Around here, maybe 1 out of 30 Porsche cars are driven by a teenager or woman.

I think that the same group of Porsche owners not able to own a Tip would probably never wear a pink shirt. Just MHO.

Yup! Lot's of rich, hot women and rich teen-agers here drive Boxsters, dude! How about your part of the world? What's that? No hot rich women? Just bucked toothed, crossed-eyed women? No wonder.

By the way, the other reason women and teenagers don't drive boxsters there in Wisconsin is because women and teenagers there still ride donkeys to work and school. :dance:

Well, let's see. This thread started out about the lower prices of Boxsters these days.
After that?
Lets get on back on track. Tips are fine, stick too.
It is all good.

Bottom line, I thought the low price was partially due to the fact that it was a TIP, it seems I've learned that is not true in other parts of the world. We learn something every day!

Tips are more in demand and retain there value vs manual if you search anywhere in the nation...
That said I am soo glad I have my Tip and not for the original reason I decided to get it...my better half cannot drive a manual.
This weekend I took a spirited late night drive here in NJ through a handful of my favorite twisties and loved every minute of the tip shifting...
...keeping the revs up while carving out a few good turns with the growl of a non modded, non S is enough bliss for me! (alright, it is desnorked)
