Quick story I thought I should share it quiet funny in my eyes. Went to pick up this chick for a date on Saturday,didnt know her too well(saw her at my job and got her number,called her up and set up a date). I went to pick her up and her jaw just dropped when I pulled up to her house,I think she was assuming I have a beater car since Iam only 18. Needless to say the date went well and I headed back to her house to watch a movie. Apon arriving her whole family was there,parents and 7 brothers and sisters. Her mom was hounding me with questions "Who gave you the money for that?","Are you some sort of drug dealer?","How fast do you drive in that?". I kindly let her know how I made a decent amount of money off of eBay last summer and that I work alot. After another half hour of questions her step father pulls me aside and says "Watch it kid,I know what you do in Porsches,I used to have one." Moral of the story leave the Boxster at home for the first date if you are younger.

Frankly I would have thought a Boxster would be one of the safer vehicles to send a daughter off in. Unless they're both contortionists, there isn't a whole lot going to go on in the car.
Suppose you had pulled up in a minivan?

It is always the man behind the machine! No matter what car a younger man drives, fathers watch out!

So did you prove Dad right?

my friend calls me "the serial dater". Having this car definitely helps keeping that going. This one girl's younger step-sister came out with us one night her mouth just dropped when she saw my car. She just walked past it thinking it was someone one else car. "oh my god like this your car???!! can I PLLLLEAAAASSE ride with you???" I had a good laugh while I noticed older sister was jealously glaring at me.
I noticed little kids and chicks really like this car. While guys my age just look it over (carefully) and rarely say anything. Older guys are usually the ones to make a nice compliment. But as far as as girls and my BoxsterS its a bit ironic because the one or two dolly birds that I've really wanted to impress have this view:

1- one doesn't know what Porsche is.
2- one thinks my Boxster is "a toy car"
3- one thinks its too extravagant for a "serious guy"

the moral of the story is you can't win. (well not on cars alone).

Well, at least you young single men don't have my problem, which has been discussed here multiple times.

"He's aging (44 year old), overweight, balding, married 20 years now, and without any question, going through his midlife crisis. Just look at that car he drives on weekends!"

Just like you, I can't win. They just don't understand I have dreamed of owning a Porsche nearly my whole life. And if they really knew me, they'd know that if I was going through a REAL midlife crisis, I'd be doing far more naughty and adventurous things with my time and money than fixing up an old Boxster!
