Oh I gotcha, I get mistaken for a 22-23 year old more often than not. Truth being told I'll be 31 in less than 20 days. But, I suppose my family just has good genes. The most common question is, "how did you afford a $60+K car at such a young age. I just laugh for many reasons.

I think people are a bit thrown off though because, if someone asks I'll tell them all about my car. I've run into plenty of the pretentious boobs who drive these cars just for the horse on the front that somehow makes them feel better about themselves. I would rather not be one of those, ever, EVER or even grouped into that category. I should hope that some people that I've talked to now see my car and remember that I'm a nice and polite person. Any time someone compliments my car I always say thank you because, that's the polite thing to do and I thought everyone did that.

Frankly, that one is just a lil sad, I had a bum try to open the door to my 944 one night, I blew the light just as he reached for the handle.

The Boxster is seen in 2 different views.

You have those that likes performance cars but says well you should have bought a 911.

then you have the group that thinks well you are rich and we hate you because of it.

Haha wait so that implies that people either wants to buy a 911, or does not like anything that shows wealth.

Where do I fit?

Yep that is what I am saying I have two kinds of friends and family.

Some have very little money and just see me as having too much the other group has high end cars (CGT, 430's 993TT "S") That just think the 986 is the new 914. Oh well to each their own I could have sold my car and purchased a 996TT or any Carrera but I just like the way the Boxster drives more.
