None were in spectacular shape, but I put a lot of miles on them. Fun sure. But truthfully, my 2000 2.7 Boxster is a better driver. Does everything better with the exception of seating position. The old 911’s had a ton of leg room. I do miss that. But heat not coming out of heater boxes from under an air/oil cooled engine is nice. Real AC, nice. Mid engine handling, nice. I’d like another old 911 sure. But not willing at this point to take a second mortgage for it.

My 2 bits. Enjoy your Boxsters. Really fun cars.
Its not what others think, read my original post its the general demeanor of SOME owners. I am stating an observation.

We are all stating observation and my observation was that a lot of posters had issue with Porsche snobbery. As another poster said, this happens in all sort of endeavors. Cars are just one and by no means limited to Porsches. I am a big fan of 986’s and whatever snobbery I’ve seen has been easy to ignore. A further observation; happily, seems the friendlier the Porsche owner, the more they know. Hence, the more I learn. That’s a good deal all the way around.
