Saw a Boxster in the Movie "Noobs" (Yes its a dumb direct to cable Netflix jewel) however, it was owned by the guy from Starship troopers who played himself in the movie, and the "Kids" (Under 40) were immediately impressed as it was a "Porsche" to them, and anyone that owns a Porsche is certainly someone of stature to be reckoned with.

(JD's reputation preceeds ALL Boxster owners by association)

Interestingly this move had some nice looking girlage except for the Starship Troopers main squeeze, but she had a nice personality as Mama would say.

My daughter and I went to play some tennis the other day and parked my 02 S in the lot next to the tennis court with the top down. We were there by ourselves and the Box was the only car in the lot. After a while four guys came to play tennis on the adjacent court. As they walked by here was the conversation. Man to me: "Is that your ride?" I say, "Yes sir, do you want to buy it?" He says, "Whoa, I don't have that kind of bank account". Most people have no clue that my Boxster cost less than their Honda Accord. They see 'Porsche' and think $$$$$. I just have to laugh when I hear it called the poor mans porsche. I think the Boxster is the best looking, finest handling Porsche of the bunch so if someone wants to dis the Box, that's fine by me. I could buy five of my car for the bones my buddy spent on a two year old 4S. It's a no brainer!

It all comes down to this folks… Who has more fun, 996/997 owners or 986/987 owners? Those movie producers and actors that spent the big bucks on their new Carreras are upset the Boxster is getting more attention. There are many reasons for this, one is the down-to-earth coolness of the Boxster owners, second is that we are better looking than Carrera owners, but mainly it comes down to what this forum has brought to the world, it’s an unstoppable force that brings joy and happiness to everyone that visits. I wouldn’t be surprised if Porsche had something to do with this.
