but somehow, theres a lot of hate towards the box, i think they all just pissed that the car keeps getting ridiculously good ratings accross the board, so if all the car experts (the ones who actually know something about cars) say its good, and we all agree, it must be good since we all just love driving these cars.

I hope you're not refering to me...

If so, which car did I bash exactly? The Boxster? Are you accusing me of 'showing off' my car? When did I 'show off' exactly?

I was just stating that it was built/manufactured/assembled by Valmet not Porsche.

Unlike you, I don't seem to get any 'hate' towards my Boxster. Just a little 'hate' from you guys for defending other cars.

Would I have spend good $$$ on it if I hated it?

craker count me in for the popcorn.....this thread is hysterical...

hey baby, I don't think DJ was referring to you....not to speak on DJ's behalf but I think the "him", in you don't see "him" bashing other cars, refers to the original 350 poster....in other words the 350Z driver is thrashing that which he doesn't have.....which I'm sure he, like every other 350Z, could afford....

and DJ's point is a simple one, the 350Z owner doesn't bash a Toyota Corolla because his ego isn't threatened by it, however he sees the porsche, a car he doesn't own, and feels threatened by it on some level....and rants out....simple....

now, I'll patiently wait for the lock

Who's got the butter?

Sorry it took me so long to get back. I couldn't find a big enough microwave so I had to pop this over a burning Nissan.

I brought the butter but got a little carried away!

You're splitting hairs in an attempt to be argumentative.

Porsche designed, produces, markets, sells, services, has rights to, and owns the Boxster automobile. Porsche "makes" the Boxster in the general and widely accepted sense of the word. There is no doubt in any rational mind that a Boxster is indeed a Porsche.

Workers in a factory assemble Boxsters. The Porsche company pays them to do so, under their scrutiny, by their instructions, using their parts. It doesn't matter one bit what sign says on the outside of the building, the cars are built by Porsche.

Porsche makes the Boxster. Valmet simply provides a building, some machinery, and some trained workers.

Hmm... on second thought, maybe baby's right. I've had my Boxster apart and have re-assembled it. So it's no longer a Porsche/Valmet Boxster.
It's now a JackG Boxster. Yeah, that's the ticket.
