Even if the S2000 is faster, the Boxster is still better looking.

Man, You gotta know how to handle this "friendly office rivalry"........It doesn't matter who's car is faster, or better in the turns etc. You shouldn't even be considering his challenge..........You've already won!!
You're driving the Porsche.

Man, no offence, but comments like this really make me cringe.
**Climbs on soap box**
Both are great handling, quick cars. I can't imagine actually thinking I have "won" simply because of the car I drive. Especially since there are many cars that are quicker, or handle better, or are more exclusive (or all three) than a Boxster.
When you hear people stereotype Porsche owners, it's hard to argue with them with comments like that.
**Steps back down**

I agree with you Rob. I see this elitism on here all the time and it makes my cringe too. I guess it would be naive to think that all Porsche owners are true enthusiasts. Some just care about what badge is on the hood and everything else comes second. In fact I think there is a term for it. People call them "badge snobs."

Hopefully what I said did not come across too offensively. I tried to lighten it up with the "soap box" comment.
Either way, I'm do my best to "loosen up" ...... :dance: ......

Rob, No offense taken here. Sometimes It's hard to tell when people are kidding in an email, as I was doing. Obviously my humor didn't read through very well.
Geez Adam, you really hurt my feelings by calling me a "Badge Snob".
