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

My wife was at the hospital yesterday sitting in the waiting room. Slim pickings for reading so she picked up a magazine on cars. Big article on Limerock. As far as cars to drive on the track, it said there are so many Boxsters, it should be the park mascot. Must be a lot of hair dressers racing now. What does hair dressers car even mean? I've gotten a bit of snobbery from some old 911 guys but other than that, people always compliment the car. A lot want to borrow actually. Be proud, they are the car that helped save Porsche and obviously with all the folks racing them, they must be pretty capable cars. Porsches current "giant killer".

"What does hair dressers car even mean?"

The expression was explained to me by my British cousin, who was driving a Jag XJS at the time. He said many hair dressers in the UK are Gay, so the expression is a slur by homophobic types. According to my cousin, prior to the Boxster, the ultimate "hair dresser's car" was the Triumph Spitfire, something no "Real Man" would drive. Total nonsense.

A buddy of mine saw my car. He gave me the "you bought a hairdresser's car?". I had to say I did. I bought my car from a hairdresser. Really did.
Anyway, I have never bought a car for someone else's approval.
