How common are Boxsters in your area? - Page 3 - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

It's Porsche country where I live in Maryland. I usually see one Boxser a day, more on weekends. I see about 2 911 per each Boxster. Curiously, Boxster S are rare. I'd say 90% are plain Boxsters. We always signal each other or flash the high beams, like a brotherhood.

I was just in Vancouver, BC for five days. During that time I didn't see a single 987, but i saw about ten 986 on the roads. Also saw one 360 Spyder and a 430 Spyder.

So, more Ferraris than 987. How odd.

I've seen at least 4 Boxsters and 2 Boxter S in the area I live (The Greens), and another 3 Boxsters in the Dubai Internet City. Boxsters are not a rarity here, but then again, neither are Ferraris, Maseratis, and other performance marques relative to what I've seen back in Singapore

Yea, I see a lot of boxsters in my area. Specially my neighboor's Ferrari Enzo behind my house. Effin sweet :dance: This was taken last year with my crappy camera. He also got a Ferrari 360 and he drove it during the winter time. Guess what, he made a 360 turn in the middle of my intersection around my hood. He was just playing around with it.

I live in San Pedro so i see none there, But on my drive to work through Torrance and Palos Verdes, I see about 1 boxster every 30 seconds...all of them have a Man driving, I see more carrera than boxster and the guy to women ratio is 50/50 in a carrera.

Here in Roseville, California, Boxsters are everywhere. Can't drive across town without seeing at least 3 or 4. Sometimes, this makes for feeling like your not driving anything too special. Then... you take that corner designed for 25 mph at 50 or 55 and everything is right with the world once again!

My parents have a home in Rocklin(Whitney Oaks) and I have yet to see ONE PORSCHE. Where do you see Boxster's in Roseville? It seems like people over there only drive SUVs.

There are at least two here in the capitol area of Michican. I'm one of them. The other is a yellow one zipping about with a smile.

2000 Arctic Silver.

I think I've seen 5 in the last 4 months. 2 each on the local 'Vette dealer's lot (both bought at auction and turned back out at auction); 2 each local owned; saw the other on the interstate as it was passing through the area.

Sad thing - TONS of beemer Z-3s and Corvettes. Good thing - it's nice being a little different. I think folks are under the (false) perception that these cars are way more expensive and way more complicated than the others... kindof a nice little secret ain't it?...
