Famous Boxster quotes...
"By the time I hit 110, I could barely tell what color car was behind me..."
Timco, when asked how his trip up for milk was after smoking some '80s Camero.

Had the trunk and the frunk open. Two boys asked me where the engine was. I pointed to the clutch and brake pedals and told them it was a pedal car.

Yes its fast
