"poor man's" Porsche...a RANT.

I think they made too many for that :/

I had only one bad comment for my boxster... A kid, with four other guys, in dad's Escalade, told me "Boxster is gay, get a 911". I gave him my best smile and left while laughing a them.

No disrespect was meant towards the rest of the marque's line-up. It was my, perhaps poorly made, point of what this company has evolved in to. I would happily drive anyone of the offerings. And snooty 911 owners need to be reminded of how the success of the Boxster helped bring the financially troubled company back to profitability.

I've had many Porsches and not one of them was not a real Porsche. If someone doesn't think a Boxster is a real Porsche it very liking they know very little about Porsche.

I feel like a Boxster is really a poor mans race car.

When I get into it and drive I just keep on thinking, this is not an expensive road car, its a friggen race car that people can drive onto a track as is and have a perfectly good race.

Then I wonder why all the other cars I have driven now feel like junk and wonder what lame designers were hired to produce such crappy handling cars and that adding gobs of HP to these to make them "Sporty" just makes them more dangerous and even worse handling.

My Response to "Poor Mans Porsche" ...I would laugh and keep the secret to myself, but so far no one has said that, and they think Im lying when I tell them the car is 15 years old and inexpensive, so I stopped saying that and let them assume I paid $70k and bought it new.

There is a good write up on this in the off topic discussion on pelican. Take a look, you'll appreciate your car even more.
