Your Toy Car

The Box is my DD.

The 911SC stays parked waiting for nicer days.

Most days I drive 2 of my younger kids to school, so I need the back seat. My DD is a Jaguar XJR. Whenever I can, I drive my Boxster. When the kids are out of school for the summer, the Boxster becomes my DD. I enjoy my Jag, but I love driving my Boxster.

Mine's a 100% toy. It never sees the road during winter, rarely gets driven to work, and has to split seat time with another toy car on drives through the mountains, track time and "decompressing" drives aound town. It sees only a couple thousand miles a year.

I drive the Boxster whenever I feel like it. Its not a DD per se, nor is it a fair weather or weekend car. But, it is a toy. My Accord is nearly 11 years old. I refer to it as my money maker. The Box is my money pit. Haha. The Honda is transportation and sometimes I have to load it up like Jed Clampett's truck. Pure function. Taking the Box to a track or autocross, or playing around in the mountain twisties - that is pure fun and totally toy. Getting winter time cabin fever and taking the Box out with the top down and the heater blasting - Just what I need sometimes.

Must be Va thing.

My work truck is a '98 Rodeo. The Box gets more play than just tooling around on weekends, though-if the weather is good I'll take it to work as long as I know I'm not going to any job sites. Unless they're in the mountains and I know I'm not going to get muddy...
As I like to tell coworkers who ******************** about work, it's hard to complain about my job when I'm driving home in a Porsche.

My Box is a fair weather commuter, a weekend cruiser and an autocross weapon. It sees about 10K miles per year and about 30 autocross events per year. In snow it stays snug in the garage.

The Boxster is a toy. Having said that.... it is a Toy, not a Museum Piece. It will get dirty, things will break and it might not always get the attention it needs. If money gets tight, it will be the first thing to sell.

I do try to limit the number of toys I buy. No use owning something if it doesn't get used.

The Box S is the fourth out of five cars in the family (we have three other DD's). It is my car to drive in nice weather, only. It is the usual "choice of ride" to drive to my summer home in Wisconsin on the weekends; that said, it gets less than 2500 miles of use per year.

My "toy" is my trick '73 911 that I track in PCA and other events. Set up for vintage racing, it is a blast to drive hard and is pretty quick for a 2.4.

Boxster is purely a toy, not driven in inclimate weather nor during winter months. I have a company vehicle as a DD and the wife has a minivan to haul the kids around. Up until recently we had multiple toys (cars, boats, jet skis, four wheelers etc.). Storage, maintenance, etc. was a horrendous pain in the rear and frankly none of them was used enough to justify having them. The wifey and I decided on one toy car would do (for now), besides, the kids are all car freaks and very close to driving age..........hummmmm............
