I've never seen a boxster in the Boston financial district but I have seen 1 on the freeway going home on occasion, but that's about it.
I've seen more 911's than boxster.

Here in Upstate NY (Rochester) I see soooooo many Cayennes on the road. Boxsters and 911's are relatively unique. Swear I see the same 4 of each at least once a week.
Corvette C5's all over the place... and C6's are startting to become more prevalent.

Actually saw my first Lotus Elise as it passed me on the highway at about 100 mph. Seriously low and tiny. Almost kit car like... but cool.

I am actually quite surprised, but I see quite a few here in Cary, NC. Probably at least 1 Boxster a day and 3 996/997s per week. And there are a couple of Turbo S Cabs in the area too.

I guess it helps that we have a Porsche dealership in town too.

Where are they?

In Long Island NY the Boxsters are very limited and rarely seen. Since my highway drive is 10 minutes long the exposure is very limited. I would say I've seen more 911's of all years than Boxsters easily. Maybe one a week in Boxsters or less to one a week of 911. Not that many Porsches here driving when I drive.

I see more Boxsters and 911s on the North Shore. With that said, the Boxster is almost invisible compared to my old 968, which was turning heads right until I sold it a little over a year ago. I never see anyone looking at my 987S or asking me about it. With the 968, I was often engaged in conversations during gas stops. While I think the Boxster design is great (and a classic that will hold up for many years), it's not as aggressive at the 968. Plus, my 968 was guards red and the 987S is seal, so that probably makes a difference.

We are so lucky to have a Boxster

[QUOTE=longislander1]I see more Boxsters and 911s on the North Shore.
I do live in the Lake Success area and if anything people who know cars will compliment the Boxster, people driving Jap cars like the Inifinity have giving me thumbs up many times as well as Mustangs and the likes. The reality is that I bought the car for myself and I don't need anybodys approval for my selection. The car is great as far as I am concerned it has a great timeless design, excellent reliability, brakes second to none and goes like a bat out of hell.
