All this talk about driving a Boxster to a frat party as if it were all that special kind of confuses me.

Boxsters have been out for ages now and it's not as if they're unaffordable by younger people nowadays. I'd expect to see more of them around campuses and such. What's the big deal? It's not like you're rolling up in a Ferrari.

If you take away the exclusivity of a Porsche and thus take away the envy, all you have left are the people that are going to taunt you for driving a girl's porsche or for not having a 911, etc. If I were still in college and would worry about what other people thought of "my ride", a 986 wouldn't be high on my list of cars that I'd want since no one in my age range would understand the purchase.

If you enjoy the Boxster for what it is to YOU, ignore the morons and just drive.

I also was in a fraternity in college.....and if someone would have driven up in a Boxster I think the general concensus would have been that that was the guy to ask to buy more beer!

This wasn't the party at the Duke Lacrosse team house was it?

Looks like you are learning to enjoy the finer things in life. This weekend I passed up a very wild party in NYC to take the Boxster out with a very nice girl to a very nice eatery.
See I'm learning mom!
