Does Boxster mean you couldn't afford a 911?

[Jay B.]

Yeah I went through that BS when I owned my 912.. it was always known as the poor man's 911 which I hated that. I don't know where all that came from since when it comes to buying parts I was paying 911 prices on everything.

I can truly say since I have owned my Boxster I wouldn't give it up for any 911.

I normally get "that's a hairdressers car", I reply "yeah 'cos all the hairdressers I know drive porsches", that usually shuts them up. But I get a lot of guys saying "nice car, they handle a lot better than the 911's and the caymans".
And the usual prick who has never driven a sports car calling them 'cockster' or 'poofster'.
