Who Drives Your Boxster? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I bought my Box last July. Had it three days before I went off on a two week business trip. Came back and found the wife had put 400+ miles on it!

I must add that she is a great driver and enjoys the car just as much as I do. She steers the hell out of all our racing sailboats as well! That's why I married her.

I have let my dad drive it after I got it as he let me learn to drive manual on his RX-7 when I just starting driving. Only other person to drive it was my brother-in-law, which resulted in him buying a boxster himself after always wanting a corvette!

seems like most of our dad's were the first or only drivers. that is the case with my boxster also.

i screwed up my first night with the car. i met some of my friends at night and pretty much forced my friend to drive it around the block. well we were in a housing complex and he took it around the complex and back. i asked why he didnt take it to the road and ripppp it. he was drunkkkkkkkkk!!!!!! dam!!!!! well atleast he didnt take it for a drive. he told me that he barely even took it out of 1st gear....

So far me and only me. We have a road trip to Yosemite coming up in June which will mean either spending the night somewhere in between or letting my g/f learn stick all over again to make it in one day.
I think a hotel room will be cheaper than a new transmission though... easy choice

Interesting thread.

I do not mind letting others drive it as long as they know what they are doing. My wife is very good with manuals..... funny thing, she does not like my Boxster too much. She thinks is sits too low, sprung too aggresively and not comfortable enough. She does not mind it too much when it is sunny and warm and I am driving.

This leaves me more driving time for me, myself and I.
