The 911 air cooled boys say it's not a real Porsche if it has a radiator or the engine isn't hanging out the back.

At some point, you just gotta decide what you drive is fine because it was your choice.

C'mon Randall, My Boxster is as much a Porsche as my SC. You can tell when you drive it.

We know that, and you know that, but there are many that don't know it, or choose not to believe.

Both times I've pulled up beside a 911 at a traffic light or on the road, I've tried to wave and smile and just say hello. Both times I've gotten the "I'm superior" treatment. I don't understand it, but it's very real.

Also, I will not be renewing my PCA membership next year. Our local chapter has a few good guys, but the core group, including the president, is made up of a clique of club racers that drive mostly 911s. If you're not one of them, you're ignored at the meetings, looked down upon, just generally made to feel like you're not worthy.

Screw 'em. Most of them are a gold chain away from driving a 'vette anyway.

I guess I have 2 of Porsche's poor man's Porsche. 02 Boxster S and 88 944 turbo S. I've driven 993's and 996's from my friends. They just did not give me the thrill I wanted. When I drove the 993 it just reminded me so much of my 72 VW bug. The sound, the burnt oil air smell in the cabin which is typical from air cooled heaters. I floored it a few times and it was no match with my turbo S. I've had people tell me to buy a real Porsche which I just ignore. I've had people with 911's that gave me thimbs down when I was next to them in my turbo. I just smoked them when they tried to out pace me and I give them a thumbs down. Boxster's and 944's are hard to beat when it comes to handling and satisfaction.
