What's the dumbest Boxster question ?

[landrovered]

How fast does it go?

Like I am going to confess my sins to you... Go buy one and find out yourself!

[Ghostrider 310]

"How much did you pay for that?" I know you don't want to critique my negotiating skills so why are you asking?

[RandallNeighbour]

From a guy who visited my web site:

"My buddies and I are harping an argument we want you to settle. Are all Boxsters convertibles?"

I told him no, they make a hard top box and it's called The Cayman

[manolo]

"Can I fit 13" rear wheels"...

[lifeisgood]

Is it yours?

I was in front of a quick shop and had the frunk open putting a bag of ice in it. The front door of the quick shop was opening and closing constantly. On one of the times it was open I heard people inside saying "that guy is putting a bag of ice on top of his engine"... Like I was an idiot for doing so. I just laughed it off.

What would have been great would have been to have a cooler in there to be dumping the ice in, then pull out a drink from your frunk(non-alcoholic, of course), crack it open, and REALLY confuse them.

I know it wasn't a question, but that has to be one of the funniest things out of this thread.

When somebody sees me open both the trunk and the frunk and ask me where the engine is, I always put on a shocked / puzzled look and say, "I have no idea!"

I love that one. I'll be using it.

+1, awesome.

[particlewave]

I often get the question, "would you sell it?"....always from some guy in a beat up old Saturn or Geo Metro. Yeah, sure.

[firstporsche]

The dumbest one I get a lot (but it's also a compliment) is, "Do you wanna swap?"

And for the guy whose father thinks a Boxster is a death trap: has he provided any statistics? But because the car is small, I do always drive with my headlights on -- as motorcycles do. Make sure the other guy knows you're there.

Here are a few I have had people ask me in the past 2 years of ownership:

"Is that a Ferrari?"

"Is that a Turbo?"

"Is that Supercharged? That is what the S means, right?"

"How fast does it go?"

"Have you maxed it out yet?"

"How much did your parents buy it for?

"Is it yours?"

"Whats the dyno on it?"

"Oh you got a Porsche, so you must be making bank, right?"

"You got your girlfriend because you impressed her with your car, right?"

"Are the maintenance costs killng you?

Everyone is shocked when I tell them I bought it for $9700 with the money I made in Pizza Delivery and that I regularly track my car and that I got my gf when I was driving a 96 Mazda Protege before the Porsche. And that I do all maintenance and repairs on my own with cheap parts bought online. The life of a Boxster owner can be Exciting.

That pretty much sums it up...

One thing I always say is "you are siting on a PORCH!"

[dbear61]

The question was a joke, but I could see somebody asking it for real. The first time my fishing buddy saw the car, he walked to the rear, cocked his head to one side and asked, "How would you tow a boat with this?"

[Mark_T]

I got one...

"How do you like my new wing?"

[shadowprincess25]

I have had rude comments like,

"Brat"
"Is that your boyfriend's?"

So I guess I am on the other side of the fence. You know just because you see a girl driving a nice car it doesn't mean her parents bought it for her or it's her boyfriends. Dealer said I'd get lots of guys in that car, made me chuckle.

It would have been great if you said "even if that comes true, I'd have to give a lot of rides to approach the level of screwing established by the Porsche dealer network".

FIAT = First in all trouble. Well having said that, dad has owned a Fiat Bravo for 16 years, not a fault!
