Why do you even own a Boxster? You constantly call them junk and now your trashing the style. Sell it, buy a Miata and go to the Miata forums and tell them how the car is junk and looks ugly. It's getting really worn out around here.

forgive me for being objective and having a sense of humor.
And I would defy you to find a single post since 2004 where I said the Boxster was "junk". You will however find numerous posts where I say that the Boxster has always set the bar in this category. And I've already owned a Miata, if I thought it the better car, I'd have gone back to it. You've also missed the many threads praising the Miata -- a car commonly owned by Porsche drivers on this many other forums.

p.s.
I find it curious that you have no problem expressing your unfavorable views about the styling of someone else's car but once it's directed at your car it becomes an issue. You should be able to take what you dish out.

You're always moaning how much you had to spend on your car for repairs. Telling people don't buy one unless you can put away some ridiculous amount of money each year because the car is going to break, you're calling it junk.

As for the picture. I didn't go out of my way to find a picture of the Miata so I could say it looked like a fish out of water, which it does, then you go and find a picture of a fish that looks nothing like a Boxster and say the Boxster is "chernobyl" fish.

Sell your Boxster, please.

I think you hear moaning, other people hear the reality of long-term ownership.
You are entirely too sensitive.
It's a forum. You understand the concept? You post opinions. If others don't like them they simply move onto one they do like. There are plenty of other Porsche forums where people like you get all bent out shape just because they don't like what they read and get into these back and forths.
Luckily prior to your arrival, we have managed to avoid being one of those type of forums. And really, this isn't the first time I've seen you bickering with forum members.

Just sell your Boxster, spare the rest of us from having to listen to your moaning of cutting down this car.

Well, it's officially a record, 7 notifications from other board members via email on this topic. As I have said to them before, too bad they don't have the cojones to speak up and be heard, I find that unfortunate but not uncommon in today's society.

I, as man of few and honest words, Prefer to call a spade a spade................

KRAM, you are a thin skinned manchild as I have noted in prior posts:

http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/56774-got-break-wear-light-3.html#post445701

Please regale us with more pictures of you in your "No-Mercy" shirt lol. Again I am embarrassed for you.

Perfectlap, while you and I have had our differences please don't let this low grade moron dislodge you from the forum Bard status, your knowledge is quite extensive.

Lastly, as far as "Man Card" points go PL kicks the crap out of Kram (who willingly chooses that username?) since he drives a Wussamatic (that he quickly eliminated from his signature lol).......Over and Out........


P.S. How long have you (Kram) owned a Boxster? Look at PL's sign up date, look at mine..............

Lastly.............How many of your replies offering advice were from actual personal experience (meaning YOU TURNED THE WRENCHES) versus Googling things to make yourself look knowledgeable? Anyone in "The Know" knows..............Like I said....You Are a Manchild.

Buddy, get over it. By it, I mean other people's opinions on this car!

1. It looks exactly like the catfish pictured, eerily.
2. I've brought this up before. I've put more into this damn car in 3 years than my ford ranger in 15. Hell, I'm afraid to sit too hard into the car, and get another F'n CEL!!
3. Will I trade or sell for a Miata? Personally, no way.
4. Not everyone on the interweb will agree with you 100% of the time. Accept this. Let it go. I came to accept some people on here actually LIKE cats!

Bad treatment over the IMS settlement, the AOS issues, sensitive plastic parts that cost $100's, common wear parts that cost $1000+, and so on. A potential buyer had better know this is what their getting into.

HA that's funny, the Boxster is kind of wide and flat especially compared with a Miata.
