Boxster Wiki - Things You Didn't Know
 

Did you know that Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop were two of the first people to take delivery of a 986 boxster in the USA ?

Yes, and they were "S" models with the limited edition sheep skin seat covers.

This is the thread that never ends.....

which one is the puppet?

The one with the curly hair .

Did Lamb Chop fit into one of the door compartments, since it didn't have a glove box?

Here's another little known fact:

Charles Bronson in his later years wanted to do a remake of Death Wish, using a 986 boxster as his vigilantly get away car ! Unfortunately, the producers would only agree to use a Chrysler k-car, so the project was scrapped . :(

But he decided against it, because, in his later years, he knew that it would take several minutes to contort himself into the driver's seat, making for a slow getaway.

and he could be tracked by the trail of white smoke belching from the failed AOS

The wiki just keeps pouring in:

Frank Stallone, brother of famed Sylvester Stallone, leased a 2.7 boxster back in 2001 . Unfortunately, he defaulted on payments and the car was later repossessed .

Shari Lewis is old it's way more likely she bought this

As for Mr. Bronson, I doubt you would see him in a foreign car, you better go rent Mr Majestic and behold the Ford truck pounding he administers.

More in . Morgan Fairchild is the proud owner of a 2002 base model .

Butzi: "Put an 'st' and the middle and see what it looks like.

Jerry Seinfeld has 10 Boxsters in his Porsche collection.

david hasselhoff had a short-lived career as a puppeteer with a shari lewis puppet, but gave it up when his puppet was stolen after he left the top down without the red clip.

And a wife who made castanets out of his nuts..... One is enough for me, but I do admire his 550, pretty damn tight.

Let's not forget about Legally Blonde

The owner of Carmaxx turned his 986 into a Beetle, which has nearly the same wheel base:
Herbie Bugster

But why Carmaxx guy? Why?

I'll bet he just likes the looks on people's faces when they go to pick on the lowly VW and it turns out to be a wolf in sheepskin.

Rumor has it, Bruce Jenner owned a 2007 "S" up until recently, before he sold it to pay for some more cosmetic surgery .

It's not funny, it's not fun

He might have, but his pride and joy is a GT3RS. One night while my wife was FORCING me to watch that stupid show, Momma Kardashian (dont know her name, you know...the really old one of the group) was forcing Bruce to sleep in the garage with his car and toy helicopter. The garage was VERY NICE, with a tiled floor and a GT3rs.

Would choose sleeping with GT3RS over momma train wreck any day

Here is a huge list of Boxster's in tv and movies:

IMCDb.org: Porsche Boxster in movies and TV series

Rumor has it, that Jo Jo Starbuck sold some of her trophies to buy an arena red '99 tip.

I read online today that Angie Dickinson just took ownership of a new 981 with side holsters built into the door sills. Now that's what I call pack'in heat !

You need a second hobby maybe model rocketry or the like.

Freud would say, "it's more than just a rocket" ....

Well you can have the biggest rocket of all and if nobody asks you to launch it, at the day's end it's still you and the rocket. I'll take a smaller craft with a busy launch schedule any day.

Well, Ghost, that's awfully brave of you to come here and admit to having a tiny rocket but really, dude, too much information! :eek:

I didn't say that Mark, reading is fundamental, I'm Sicilian, the blacks conquered that place lots of times, when they did we received more than their skin color. In that scenario I said I'd rather, never said I did, I still think the point is salient. If you please your lady the rest is just bluster.

I know that Ghost - it was just too good an opportunity for a shot to pass up.

Besides, if you really had a tiny rocket then you would probably have 20" rims and a big fugly wing on your Boxster! :D

I can barely freakin walk most days so I'm pretty much dee you enn DONE anyhow

PS Michel Picione only guy I know from Winnipeg, taking a blind shot here, you're friends aren't you?

No, the only Italian guy I know here is Tony Aiello.

I did a Canada411 check on that name and there are no Picione's listed for Winnipeg.

He never wanted to stay there, he would have been the Kodak representative circa 1987, I thought he was from there too though.

Whoa, so much for political correctness ! :eek:

Hey I've been dark all the way back to when I was made fun of for it every day, now these same pasty goofs are all in the booths getting skin cancer, seems I'm getting the last laugh.

In "The Whole 9 yards" with Matthew Perry & Bruce Willis there is a Barney purple 996 Cab tip that Matthew Perry drives. I delivered that Porsche to Studio Services in Burbank. This was around the time that Perry had crashed his own 911. When they finished shooting it I delivered it to SanFrancisco to exchange for the the 1st GT2 on the west coast from Sports Car International who had just used it for their cover story track testing the GT2 against a Viper. Shortly after returning with the GT2 we had to retrieve the Cab for some re shoots of "The Whole 9 yards".

Wow BYprodriver,

Cool info! I recently crashed a 911 (and then bought a 986), hopefully I can land a movie role too?

The demise of the 911 was due to some car preppers getting over zealous with Armour All - by putting it on the WHOLE TIRE - it was the most horrifying block I have ever been on! This was a small dealership and English was a second language for them. The owner said, "Put Armour All on ALL the tires". They thought he meant the WHOLE ENCHILADA and I ended up in the cheap seats….no one was hurt but my pride!

Here's the point, some statements have different meaning to different people.

In his autobiography, Evel Knievel mentions that in later years he wanted to re-attempt jumping the Snake River Canyon, this time with a 986 boxster . The story goes on to say how the threat of IMSB failure cancelled his plans. Where the hell as was Raby and LN Engineering when he needed them ?


I couldn't resist throwing this chestnut in .
