Chicks Car?

[surf40]

So, last week I told some of my friends that I was thinking of getting a Boxster. Their immediate reactions was “That’s a Chicks Car”. Have any of you guys heard that? I have started noticing that there seems to be a greater number of women driving Boxsters than say Caymans or 911s. Have we got another Miata here?

Are you being serious or just trolling? :troll:

Says more about your friends than about the car.
Of course women like Boxsters, they drive like a dream.
Did you ever drive one?

That's just one of the insults hurled at the Boxster ("poor man's Porsche", "not a real Porsche", etc). Heck, 'Two and a Half Men' did an entire show about the Boxster being a chick car.

There's a good chance the people who sling those statements have never driven one before. Or they own a 911 for the status it gives them, so belittling a Boxster owner only improves their status. Neither is a group you want forming your opinions.

Several yrs ago I took my 01S to a Cubs game. Scored a great parking spot just NW of Wrigley. A group of about 5 people in their late teens walked by. They checked out my car as they walked by. One wanted to impress the group by saying "that's not a real Porsche". I bet if I tossed him the keys he'd have jumped at the chance to drive it.

My wife loves the Boxster S.

She's a chick. LOL

PS. Her at the wheel.

Watch it.

I used to have a Miata. Great car...at sea level. Not so great at 8k ft. No power.

No trolling, just what my friends said. It won’t stop me from getting one. Though my friends did back down when I threatened to not give them rides in it down Pacific Coast Highway here in Southern California. I live in Ventura County, and can get to the PCH north of Malibu in 10 min. Lots of really good canyons above PHC in the Santa Monica Mountains.

You must live in a part of Mass. that the rest of us don't ! LOL ! After a winter like this,
the surface of the moon will seem smoother by comparison !

Pulling out of the driveway yesterday afternoon and there are two 11-yr old boys standing on the sidewalk. As I pull out, they both stop, stare, and one says, "Mister, that is the coolest car I've ever seen!".

'nuff said.

Who cares? If you're buying a car to satisfy your knuckle dragging friends, you shouldn't be buying a car in the first place. Let those idiots drive your a$$ around.

I said Miata is gay 'cause this is the general view, not mine. I think both Miata and Boxster are GREAT cars and people who stereotype are idiots.

I hope this is clear now...

[Johnny Danger]

I believe that this was the predecessor to the miata .

It might be a chick car, or might not be. But it's no slouch. On the track (in heavy rain) I chased down a Mitsubishi Evo, 2 Carrera 4S's, and a 928 hill-climb car. It's a great car to drive regardless of what people say about it. Nobody's ever told me to my face that it's a chick car. I've had people ask me how I could afford a "Carrera" too (debadge it, and 75% of the people won't know which model it is).

I bet if you get one, your friends will all want rides in your chick car.

It's official -- it's not a chick car, it's a chick magnet!

Only the automatics are chick cars.

Chick car? absolutely, and I'm riding it.
