Wow. That friggin' SUCKS. reminds me of my friend's dad's Jaguar. He came out to a mall parking lot once in LA to find that someone had carved those same words into the driver-side door.
This makes very interesting social commentary though. Consider the Porsche marque--it is considered a high-end sports car brand that is generally unattainable by the general populace.
As the Boxster continues to move down-market and become more affordable to more people, it's going to start turning up parked on the curb or in driveways and car ports in condo complexes. The Boxster will have moved into less affluent surroundings, but the badge on the hood will still carry the same social weight.
It's like wearing a blousy Versace shirt to TGI Fridays. No one cares that you got it at Marshalls--they'll still "hate on the rich guy".
I hope no one's insulted by that--I'm not saying that people who buy a used Porsche are somehow inferior, just making a comment about how, as long as the car's in good condition, the marque doesn't lose its sheen no matter how much you paid.
